I'm about ready to pull my hair out! (yes, i have hair again, not very long, but hair nonetheless)

Last week we decided to pull out of Wells Fargo because, well, they suck. So we both got out of work Friday afternoon to go and open (reopen, actually) accounts at Alpine Bank, which we loved and never should have left.

Now all of our money is at Alpine Bank, but we have no checks, no debit cards, and no online banking access yet! And of course Monday was a holiday, so everything is delayed that one extra day. Let me tell you, I'm going absolutely out of my mind not being able to access the accounts.

God is on our side though; we have a two week stretch of no bills to pay! The one that is coming due on Monday is local, so we can just hand deliver some cash (which stac did for me today). It seems like I've been paying bills nonstop since Stac handed the finances over to me, so how we got two weeks bill free can only be an act of God!

In the spirit of making our financial life a little less painful, we also decided to move our truck loan and the kids' savings to the credit union where our mortgage is. We were able to get that taken care of last Friday also, and I picked up the check and paid off the truck on Wednesday. The money posted to the account today and Staci was able to go and get that account closed out.

I know, it's all pretty boring stuff, but that's what has been going on lately, and pretty much plaguing my every spare thought!
