I am working on paying bills today. We paid off one of Brian’s credit cards in recent months. The balance is zero, but the credit limit is still quite generous. We’ve never been late with a payment.

I have been meaning to tell you about Gracie’s swimming lessons, but since it has been everyday, I’ve been a bit busy!
