One Sacrifice

A couple months ago, our good friends Michael and Bayli asked us if we wanted to go to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico with them and a few other couples in October. Our first response was, “YES!” The deal for the trip was from Groupon and I won’t say how much it is on our blog, but it was a pretty good deal to have everything inclusive. Although we said we wanted to go, we told them that we would have to pray and think about it some more. So we did and it came down to 2 sides…. Either we go on the trip and have fun while we don’t have kids, or don’t go on it because we want to get out of debt ASAP so that we have close to NO debt when we have kids. We want to have kids sooner than later, so the trouble with going is that we would be spending money that we might need for a new baby and everything that comes with it. It was a hard decision, but we decided not to go.  Instead, we all planned a cabin trip for next month! It’s a lot cheaper and we can still have fun with our friends.

            The way I look at it is, the more we sacrifice and save now, the less we will have to do later. I would rather get the whole thing over with than have to deal with debt forever. We want to be able to show our kids someday that we both were disciplined in something that we wanted to accomplish together.  With all of that said, our prayer request is that we stay motivated to meet our goal for next year in November. 

Thank you for all of your prayers!
