June's challenge result and July's challenge

We did much better on the personal spending challenge this month than we did on the personal savings challenge last time- we only spent $2.04 the whole month, so that is a savings of $43.96- yay!  The new challenge for July is to save on water.  We are going on vacation for a week this month, so we'll be ahead of the game not using water here for showers and dishes!  There will be the mountains of laundry when we get back though, ha.
