The month of June began with a few changes for me. Mainly I found out that I have a new set of duties here at work and the new position affords me a fair amount of time to get more involved and work together with Bridgid on the goals we set with Charlie and Leslie when we last met. We set a specific amount to have saved by the end of October so I sat down and figured out how I can help make sure we get there. I'm working without days off for as long as I can to try and compensate for some of the spending balloon we had at the end of last month and help get us ahead on our goal. I'm also cutting myself off from some of the fun but unnecessary things like the ice cream from DQ that just happens to be right next to my office.  

Bridgid is working on getting things together for her dance school and now has a website: http://www.kcirishdance.com/ I'm so proud of how far she has come in such a short time, and for having the courage to take the first step and make it all happen amidst all the other things she has taken on this year. She also just completed her first half-marathon and her success there has spurred me to get myself back to a consistent workout plan as well. This should help occupy some of my time and get me ready for some well-deserved lying on the beach towards the end of the year. 

Thanks to everyone for all your support throughout this process. Bridgid and I are looking forward to a strong finish and are keeping our fingers crossed that what we're doing will put us in position to win this.
