Yesterday we got a letter in the mail from the IRS saying that Joel owed over $2,000 from a mistake on his taxes. We both thought that it was a mess up and Joel would call tomorrow (today). Well he called today and it's not a mess up. It was taxes from some medical studies he had done a long time back.
I am sad for two reasons:
#1 - we have to pay this bill that we barely have the money for. It will empty our emergency savings and other savings. That is a huge security gone just like that.
#2- we had it planned to go to Duluth on Friday, stay at Black Bear Casino (which is way cheaper than a hotel) and go walk around Duluth Saturday.
Originally our plan was to use our free nights stay at the Radisson in Duluth but they are fully booked. Lame!
Now we are definitely not going to stay at Black Bear...
Joel doesn't even know if he wants to go to Duluth.
I am plain old bummed.
I LOVE Duluth so much and long to get away.
There is a peace that says this too shall pass. We will get it paid. We are fortunate to have just the right amount of money to pay for it. I know I should not complain...that is not my intent. Just telling a story of those days that you are sometimes really bummed.
Maybe I'll see Duluth this fall maybe I won't. I sure will miss it if I don't. I thought I wouldn't be able to go at all because of school so I shouldn't be so bummed. But I am.
Here are some pictures from our last trip to Duluth (before our wedding day trip to Duluth)

I'm sorry...that is a bummer! If nothing else you can come and visit us and we let Max choose what we charge...sometimes it is an hour of wrestling on the floor, sometimes it is drawing a truck over and over and over again with crayons and construction paper...it depends on his mood. If you are looking for a fall adventure we could always go on my photo journey that I described in the post "Route". Let me know what you think. It is not Duluth but it is beautiful! : )
Jenny, it is fun to see your blog! We actually had this happen to us a few months ago. Blew us out of the water-- totally didn't think we'd made a mistake. But we did, missed accounting for a student loan. That & a couple hefty AC bills threw us off. I wish money weren't such a pain sometimes!! Hope you guys recovered okay!!
