I'm glad everything worked out~ I know it's a special trip being your daughter's birthday. When my DH & I need to save a little for a special trip or purchase, we always look a little more closely at our day to day discretionary spending- like the $4 mocha at Starbucks, or the new pair of Nine West sandals when really, I already have 4 pairs that will get me through the summer
At any rate, alls well that ends well!!
