Finally some good news

Well after two months of bad news and financial struggles we got some good money news yesterday. First, I got a good evaluation and fairly nice raise at work. Second, DH is finally having some money coming in even though he's having to work out of state, and will probably have too until into the summer. Third, we got an awesome tax REFUND this year!!!! We haven't had a refund in years but DH's income was down last year.And this refund was an awesome amount.
I will put alot of the money in savings instead of toward debt because DH's work is so unpredictable and probably will continue to be. I also will pay some to a credit card that we've had to use lately.And we all need some shoes and clothes around here!
Also we will need to travel to see my Dh over the next few months. So theres plenty of places for this refund to go.
I want to get a really nice nest egg saved b/c we had to use the cc alot in the last month. I HATE it.....I don't want to get back into that nasty habit!! We have about 13,000 in cc debt and I want it gone!!!

Thanks for reading this!
