Wow, It's Been A While

Lots of changes happening here. My office is closing in the middle of January, and my job ends in the middle of February. So after my severance, we're losing my income. On the bright side, hubby didn't wait to get laid off from his sales job, he quit and accepted a job from a customer of his. The new job pays more and he really likes it. Only thing is, it's in Denver. He has already moved up there and started his new job, and the kids and I will follow when school is over. I think for the last couple of months I'm here, I'll collect unemployment. Hey, it's better than $0, right?

So now we have more money, but for the moment we've also added some pretty serious new expenses: $500 a month rent for his apartment in Denver, cable/internet for him, and his electric bill, plus groceries and gas. My plan is to pile up as much cash as I can while I'm still working, and then at the end of my job I get a retention bonus, which we will most likely use for a deposit on a house in Colorado.

I've been looking at the Colorado board on PYP, and it completely sucks! We are spoiled here in AZ, y'all. I mean, we have so much information on that board for this state, and CO has practically nothing. I'm going to have to become the ninja of all coupon shoppers when I move up there. Hey, maybe I can even help them out on their PYP board. Because seriously, they have links to the ads but no one lists them out by store and matches up coupons the way we do here in AZ. We have some AWESOME board moderators here.
