Got a new lap top...

I know I know...saving up for a house, shouldn't be spending money foolishly, and we really didn't "need" it...BUT...we got one anyway. With Matthew's photography we really needed something that could hold all the software that comes with fixing up pictures for people. This desk top computer was barely hacking it. Its slow and running out of memory and when we checked into upgrading the memory we found that it was going to cost us about $400. Not worth it. This computer is old and we were talking about getting a lap top anyway, so we figured we can keep the desk top for non-photo related things and use the lap top for photography and on the go. Basically it only set us back 1/2 month towards our house savings. Not too bad...nothing we cant shake off. Lol. So, YAY, we got a new computer...another toy to play with. The way I look at it, is at least we have the new camera and new computer before we have a mortgage payment to be responsible for. We will still be saving even with a mortgage, but not as much as we are able to now, so this is a better time to be splurging then after we get a house. Haha, next is Matthews 42" flat screen TV...probably not before the house though. We are also discussing purchasing a new bed room set, but that will happen after we get settled into our new house as well.
