Things have a strange way of working out…

I was just thinking this morning that I wasn’t sure how I was going to pay for my upcoming trip to New York (which I figure will cost around $1,000) as well as the bill for the photographer that is due in 2 weeks (mom and I are splitting the cost, and my portion is around $750). So, I was wondering this morning how I was going to come up with $1,750 in the next 2 weeks. I do have a line of credit I could use, but I only wanted to use it if I absolutely had to (I want to save as much of it as I can to cover the expenses for the reception dinner as well as other wedding expenses). Anyways, my boss just handed me my first annual dividend cheque for my shares in the company, which I totally wasn’t expecting. I figured they would pay dividends at some point, I had no idea when. Anyways, it is for the exact amount I needed! WOOHOO! I am going to use it to cover the New York Trip and the photographer’s bill. Yay!
