Well, I finished my taxes and got them sent out on Monday. I wish I had finished them sooner, because I got a nice surprise - we're actually getting a refund this year! Very much instrumental in this was the Energy Tax Credit we got for replacing our furnace this past year. The $600 for that swung us from having to pay a few hundred to actually receiving a few hundred!
We will be getting a refund from the state, too, although a smaller one ($95). I won't really be able to enjoy it until the money hits our bank account where it can do some good, but I'm still pretty happy.
Here's another picture of Sophie to celebrate.

She can be a little nippy sometimes, but she'd generally a good girl.

Can't get too many photos of Sophie! That's good news about your taxes.
