Had my sister and mom over two weekends ago and scanned all but one box; got a lot pared down. Some stuff we need to take photos of. Have several albums still to scan.

How I did it: and knowing that (at least for us) it is ok to have a little dry spell. it makes the times that we make love frequently more special. it was a gradual process for me for remembering how long its been since we did it, and that sometimes doing it for the sake of doing it isn't that fun, and that it is OK to not do something else that is important and make love instead. Read how I did it…
Automatically (from paychecks) putting $700/mo. in savings account. If this keeps up and we don’t pull out of the savings, we will make our goal.
We could potentially (if we don’t pull out of savings at all, don’t spend our tax return, and I get a bonus of $1200 at the end of the year) have $20K in the savings account, which is ultimately where we want to be.
Started IRA in March. Putting $200/mo. in.
So, we’re investing now 10% of our salary.
Just have to keep it up!
