Out With the New and In With the Old!

The title of this post is "Out With the New and In With the Old" Isn't that backwards??

Earlier in the summer I heard about Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace University. First Baptist Church was offering it and I asked our church (Northside Baptist Church) if it was something they would consider offering. Kevin said that he would look into offering it in the fall and now here we are. There's about 80 people in the class and it has really been eye opening for Shane and me. We aren't in a lot of debt. When we began the class we only owed our house mortgage and Shane's truck payment. We are now on week 4 and we officially have no truck payment. Above is a picture of the truck Shane had when starting the class. It's the nicest truck that he has EVER had. After listening to Dave Ramsey's philosophy for a couple of weeks, Shane put his truck in our front yard with a for sale sign in it and sold it within a week or so. He has been without a vehicle for almost 2 weeks and has found a replacement vehicle! YES! He now is the proud owner of a Suburban and it is PAID IN FULL!! Woooohoooo! Here's a picture of the new addition to our family! The kids are really excited about having a "new" ride! :)
