I'm looking forward to the challenge! Waiting on spring gives me a couple months to scout out sales, so I'm hoping that helps. I'm also stalking the 'free' and 'barter' sections on craigslist. The thrill of the hunt, so to speak, keeps me occupied when it's 10 below outside.

Dang, sorry to hear your hubby is in the same boat. Thinking positive thoughts for both of 'em this coming year!
