Heatwave in January!

Saturday night I went gungho about putting pictures on the wall. C bought me more hooks from his work, so I put 8 photos and 1 piece of art on the walls. Now the apartment looks a lot more decorated. It was pretty sparse before.

We are potentially looking into buying another car. We're going to be getting my car looked at this week to hopefully determine the problem of starting. But we have money for another car, and have been researching some in Anchorage, so it's really a matter of time.

Hung out with my favorite Redhead today. It was 25 degrees today! And seriously, after below 0 the past 2 or 3 weeks, it really felt warm today. The beach was amazingly calm and not windy. There was ice and ice chunks everywhere. The tide was a little bit high, and instead of sand, there was all ice at the bottom. The water looked amazingly blue and clear compared to what it usually looks like! We had a fun time walking the beach until our feet got cold. Then it felt like 25 degrees again!
Today is the first day of school. I haven't sat down and looked at what I need to do yet. I'm obviously putting it off as long as possible =P It will be a tomorrow project!

Credit Card

When we got married, I closed my Wells Fargo accounts to join with Caleb's. I kept my WF credit card. It turned out that paying it off without another account in my name was impossible. They said I should be able to access it with my SSN instead of my online username, but that did not show up any of other account. So, my WF card was paid off in the branch for the month and I stopped using it.
I researched other cards and in July I applied for the Chase Amazon.com Visa.
Every $2500 spent they send you a $25 gift card to Amazon. And triple points spent on Amazon. I knew that would be perfect for me, due to spending lots on school, and spending lots on Amazon. Looking at that statement, it appears that I spent a lot of money in the last month. I obviously am getting sent my first gift card. And it appears that I get more points for college??! I'm more happy with this card as time goes on. By next month I will probably be in line for another gift card. All of my larger purchases I've been putting on here - like groceries. So I'm pretty excited by this. I'll let you know when the card comes in the mail!
