Growing Assets and Negative Cash Flows

We went down to Texas the first week in December for a adult only family reunion with Kurt's family. We went a few days before and after the trip so I could visit with my extended family in Dallas. The kids spent the week with my Parents. We left durning the first big snowstorm of the year and little did we know that it would follow us the entire time we were in Texas. The high while we're there never got above 40 degrees. It was still warmer than Minnesota which was in the -20's. Also Dalas got a 4 to 6 inch ice storm while we were in San Antionio, so it made our trip intresting since we weren't sure if we could get home flying out of Dallas, lucky the ice was mostly melted when we left. We did have a great time with Kurt's family especially the night we watched Chiawanna high school (our Nephew's high school) win the state championship football game. We also got to go to the Alamo, a Brazilian steakhouse, Sea world, and played a lot of games. While we were in Dallas Kurt got to meet all of my Texas cousins and had a good time. The biggest downside was the stomach flu was making it's way through our kids back home, our snowblower wouldn't start, and our pipes clogged in our sink so we came back to a mess.
