Disneyland or a new kitchen....hmmmm


Emily & Haley waiting to board the plane to go see Grandma 2007. Aren't they so cute and little?!!




Well, we have a savings account that we automatically put savings into. It's been really nice, because that's how we saved up for our trip to Mexico a couple years ago, and it's that time again. We have almost $5000 and my friend who's a travel agent sent me an email regarding travel deals to Disneyland. So...right now it's either a new kitchen or Disneyland.

Kitchen
Pros

  • Lasts longer
  • I would FINALLY get a dishwasher
  • More storage for my small house
  • would be able to clean other parts of the house instead of always focusing on the kitchen...blah
  • don't have to rush to apply for passports for the girls
  • would be able to get into my dream house faster - the one that's big enough to have a studio on the main floor!! you know!

Cons

  • no disneyland, and would be another 2-3 (at our current rate of saving) till we could plan another trip. They might not all be interested in going then.

Disneyland

Pros

  • Finally fulfill our promise to take them see Mickey & the gang.
  • Take them to another country, with a different environment - an adventure.
  • Valuable Family time - we only have so much.
  • GREAT photo opportunities!
  • Get to go to Hollywood, LA, Lego land, San Diego Zoo, Tiauana and have margaritas!! yuuummmmm.

Cons

  • More time in my small townhouse (at our current rate of savings). blaahhhh...

Well...we have to decide. If we were to go it would be next month. Either way it's nice to have such great options. Both are a win/win and would benefit our family IMMENSELY. Just which one...

Well I always say to pray about it.. God will let you know what is more important right now... Maybe your family needs time together to have some fun, but then again... maybe that can also be done right here in Edmonton, and not have to spend the extra money. Maybe God is saying to spend the savings on the kitchen you have been been wanting, and a studio to help you out in future prosperity. Whatever the right answer, the Lord will speak it to you in your heart. You will know when there is no uncertainty. :)
God bless you
