We will be paying off our first credit card!!!! Since dh likes to see immediate results from our hardwork, I decided that I would just pay off the card with the lowest balance (which is just below $500).

That's great, Amanda! There is something to be said for seeing immediate results - nothing wrong with paying off that smallest debt. A lot of people choose to do that, for exactly the reason you did - to see some forward motion, get a feeling of accomplishment, and even a little encouragement to keep going. Good for you!

Thanks, I am pretty excited about it. I feel like that will be like opening the flood gates.......if we can just get this one out of the way, we will just start knocking them all out!

This can be a long journey. It is motivating to see the successes a long the way to keep you going. In 3 months look back and see how far you have come. It doesn't have to be a dollar figure but it can and don't forget how you feel and what you have learned.

Keep at it!!
