For the first time in several years, my family is taking a vacation for a week. Before you start in on me about the need for regular vacations, let me assure you, I have already heard it.

Our problem for the past few years has been our efforts to eliminate debt and get rid of that weight hanging over us. We have made some incredible progress in that area, thanks in large part to Financial Peace University, and have decided to celebrate with a week at the lake.

Our goal is to do as little as possible. We are headed to Branson, Missouri, to spend the week with some of our best friends. We will probably take in Silver Dollar City one day, but for the most part, I plan on sitting on the dock, or on the deck, or in the lake. That’s it.

Maybe I’ll do a little reading. Maybe a nap or two. Who knows? Either way, it will be relaxing.

I hope you have a great week! I’ll see you back here in a few days!
