Boat Money

We have a lake. (I know, I know.) And so naturally I want an adorable rowboat or canoe. I spent the first year we owned our land scouring Craigslist for one such item. Two years ago (I think), for Christmas, Nick made me this box:

Inside he had a given me a couple hundred dollars to go toward the boat of my dreams.

When we were putting our heads together as to how to afford the Airstream,

"We can eat spaghetti every night and share a monthly metrocard"
"But we already DO that!"

And then we thought:

"BOAT MONEY!!!"

It wasn't a lot, but it felt like our past selves had put a little aside for our awesome future selves. It was hard to take the money from Nick's cute presentation, but that's why I took a picture of it and blogged about it.

FUTURE SELF!
