We went to 2 weddings on Saturday. They were weddings for 2 cousins on opposite sides of W’s family, so we couldn’t say no to either. Both were a lot of fun. It has definitely made me excited for my own, as I have slowly been losing excitement for it. Now I’m back in wedding planning mode! We have tons of new ideas for things that we want, and we have decided on a live band for the reception.
On Sunday we had a 40 year anniversary party, that was a lot of fun too. Lots of yummy food all weekend.
I had a guest post on GRS the other day all about what it would take to quit your job and pursue your passion. Hope you all got a chance to read it. Thanks again if you are a new reader.

Student Loan Update
My student loans will be gone this week! WOOHOOO! I’ll be making an update post on this soon. This feeling is awesome and I can’t believe that I am this close. This definitely would not have been possible without my blog since I have learned so much since I started.
Spending
We spent some money, but only on the two weddings that we went to. We gave cash as our gifts. Other than that, it was a pretty cheap weekend.
We were about to buy a brand new TV for our living room because our other TV that we’ve only had for a couple of years broke. There was a long Twitter rant by me, plus I talked to tech support and everyone else at Samsung to try to figure out what was wrong with it. W and I have tried everything the past couple of weeks. Then yesterday, we were sitting in our living room and it just magically turned on ALL BY ITSELF and started to work. Weird, but I’m glad that we don’t have to buy a new TV especially since we just bought this one. WOOHOO! We were literally about to throw it away when it turned on…
Extra Income (does not include income from our main jobs)
It was another awesome week with my extra income. I have been working much harder with following up with late and missed payments. Affiliate income has also been pretty good this month, especially since I haven’t put an affiliate link in a new post in probably over a month. Passive income for the win!
Posts from my blog:
- Life updates and $3,287 in extra income. My usual weekly life update post.
- I’m no longer anonymous. My face is officially on Twitter! And once I get more engagement photos back, I will make an awesome post with them.
Being healthy
I ran a couple of times last week, but not as much as I would have liked. Still a good week though. And I’m still eating healthy. I definitely need to work on my goal of running over 100 miles in a month though.
Have you been doing well with your extra income, spending and being healthy?

Wow two weddings in one weekend thats a rough one. I cant really do one in a weekend but at least you had fun. W’s grandmother’s property does look nice it reminds me of my grandmothers place in SC. You are doing very well on the income, with the past two weeks you will probably be over 8k + this month.
I think you meant “POST” in “affiliate link in a new port in probably over a month”. You can delete the last sentence from this comment.
Thanks so much for noticing the typo. Fixed!
And it was a lot of fun 🙂
I’ve done 2 weddings in one weekend and hated myself afterwards. It stops being fun after a while.
Congratulations on the impending student loan death! Also, thanks for the shout out and great work on the extra income.
Thanks!
Wow lots of weddings and celebrations for you this past weekend. I went to the gym for the first time in over 3 weeks (since my surgery) and it felt good. It was sad how out of shape I am after taking just a few weeks off, though, and it will be a long road back. I also have started to work on blogging during lunch vs. working out, so it will take more discipline to go when I get home. Hopefully I stick with it, though.
That’s good!
2 weddings in one weekend? Ugh!
Glad your TV turned back on! That is super weird.
Yeah, it was super weird! It hasn’t worked in weeks!
The property does look beautiful!
Congrats on your soon to be paid off student loans! I remember when I paid mine off; what an amazing feeling…
Have a great week!
Thanks! 🙂
Sounds like you have a poltergeist! That’s great about the student loans. I don’t think you’ll ever regret paying them off early. That would be pretty cool to go to a wedding then a 40 year anniversary party, both sides of the spectrum, for sure.
It was fun! And yummy food all weekend is definitely a plus.
Wow, what a beautiful property! If it’s better than the pictures, it sounds like you have the perfect wedding spot.
Thanks!
love the new Twitter pic…how about a close up?!?!?!?
Haha there is a close-up in my Twitter pictures 🙂
Let the countdown to the student loan’s demise begin! WOO HOO!! Fantastic job!
WOOOHOOO! 🙂
I’m playing around with Flipboard. I love the interface, but it’s a struggle to add new content. Maybe as I use it more I’ll have an easier time with it.
I’ll have to look into that.
Weddings are intense. 2 means intense times 2. And cash as a gift is my favorite. That is what I give.
Yeah it was expensive, but luckily we don’t have too, too many more weddings for this year.
Wow, weird stuff with the TV huh? Glad it seems to be working again though. I always feel like things like that can be a little bit of fools gold, but hopefully it’s really just fine for you guys. Nice work on the student loans!
It was weird! Hopefully it turns back on tonight.
Sounds like you were busy this weekend! And that TV is creepy. I had an old computer that would turn on by itself all the time in the middle of the night, so scary!!!
Scary! 🙂
We’ve been having odd television technical issues as well (picture mysteriously going black for 5 seconds, then coming back). As always, we’ve just adapted. 🙂
Big congratulations for knocking out the student loan debt!
Haha well it hasn’t turned on for weeks now, so it was weird!
Thanks Jake!
