As you read in my last post, my husband and I never had a honeymoon. We are one of those that have very little money to spare. We have kids now, so I decided we could always make it into a vacation of some kind. We have talked about it for awhile now. My husband wants to go to Disneyland. Last time he went, his mom was pregnant with him! LOL. I told him I rather wait until the children are older. I went to Disneyland when I was 11. I told him I wanted to go to Indiana. He goes "Whats there?" I said "April!" I have several friends online. I have always wanted to visit every single one of them..but you know, I would be saving up thousands upon thousands of dollars. Well, I have heard Indiana is a good place, so I figured I could go there someday and visit. We could meet her and her daughter, and have a good time.
I also want to go to New Mexico, to Roswell..yes the ailen city! I have a online friend there too..Angela. I would love to meet her someday too. I have several goals of vacations in my life before my children turn 18 and move out. Another place my husand wants to go is Las Vegas. Every persons dream! To each his own I guess! LOL.

First Post!
Welcome to my blog!
Has anyone ever read the blog "The New York Changepot"?
The ones that have not, here is the link: http://changepot.blogspot.com/
I got the part of the idea from this blog, plus discussing it on message boards about saving change that is found. Well, my husband and I always find pennies on the ground, or other things, like silver. My husband and I have never had a honeymoon when we got married. We have kids now..a 4 year old and 1 on the way. I figured that I would start saving for a family vacation with change. Being on a very limited income, I decided we could start, by change we have around the house that we don't use and of course, change we found on the ground. So, we started doing just that in January of this year.
I have a 5 gallon water jug that goes on a water machine. I recieved it from my grandmothers house after she died. My mother and father had aquired it since my dads siblings didn't know what to do with it. They were going to get rid of it themselves. I said "I'll take it!" So, I earned 1 jug. I mean if it could be half full and get good money, I could do it too!
So, we started picking up change off the ground, throwing in change that we don't use which is a ton of pennies. We have thrown in a couple dollars as well. As of today, we have about 8.00 in the bank. We have a whole garbage can full of pop cans that the previous tenents left out in our yard before we moved in. I want to recycle them. 25 cents a pound right now, but it is well worth it. We can ALWAYS reuse the can too! We do drink pop around here. Of course, I see cans on the ground alot too.
Well, this was my first post. I have a couple more to go tonight..different topics. Welcome and enjoy your stay!
