"All In"

Ever sat at a Texas Hold 'Em table with a really good hand and confidently say the words "All In?" Thats what we did today---sort of. With the IVF procedures coming up next week, we called our clinic and paid for all of the out-of-pocket expenses. I'm laughing as I write "out-of-pocket" as if we only had to pay a portion of the medical tab...not.

I'm really proud of how we planned for this though. We set up a savings plan and stuck to it like superglue. And thankfully, we are able to pay for this outright without taking a line of credit, touching our 401K or selling investments. That's a pretty big accomplishment.

Today we took some major pennies out of our piggy bank. But, we're replentishing it every month, so the little piggy won't starve, he's just going on a little temporary diet. So its official, we're all in. And we're all excited.
