Bling Queen

Caitlin got her braces on today and looks so cute (and so grown up...sigh!). Our orthodontist has had her on a treatment plan for the last year, and after doing some research, came up with a good plan to allow for her MRI's. He chose to use the clear, non-metal braces, so once she is done with the MARA, she will be able to have her wire taken out and have the MRI without interference. I really like the look of the clear braces and plan on getting them myself...someday...hopefully before I'm really, really old...


So Caitlin is excited about her braces and so are we...

Our excitement comes from paying them off. Clint and I realized if we combined our Christmas gift money and emptied my checking account, we could write out a hefty check to our orthodontist and cross one more debt off the list... that leaves us with two more debts to pay off before we are 100% debt-free.

So medical debt, here's your warning... you're next. We can't wait to have you out of our lives for good. Today I set up a new account for Caitlin's next MRI. Yep, that's right, we're saving up and paying cash for all future procedures, no more ever-growing hospital tab for us (knock on wood!).
