Not a check. No personal delivery.

A mouse click ended my debt with an online payment.

How…

boring.

I put it off for as long as possible. Lovingly looked at my bank account balance for a few days. And then decided this morning it was finally time.

It won’t hit my bank account until Monday so I’ll be spending the next two days logging on to my online checking, looking at the balance, and promising my checking account it will eventually see that kind of money again when we save up our full emergency fund.

Next week? I’ll be updating about our celebrations. Hubby, baby, and I have all decided different ways to celebrate.
