Who are we? What's the dream?

Welcome to the blog. This is a chronicle of our family's journey out of debt. Like many Americans, we have student loan debt. Unlike many Americans, we think it is a huge burden and want to get rid of it as fast as possible.

We are:
Mrs. Dreamer (me), age 22. Currently unemployed. Trying to find a job.
Mr. Dreamer, also 22. Software engineering racking in the big bucks (60k/year--I realize this isn't actually the big bucks in this field, but I grew up on one liberal-arts-college-professor salary, so this seems insanely high for a first job to me).
We live in Chicago.

We have:
1) $84,808.90 in student loans.
2) No children.
3) The desire to change both those things.

We want:
1) To be out of debt.
2) To have a large family, by birth and adoption.
3) To start a homestead and grow as much of our own food as we can.

The point of the blog:
1) Accountability/humiliation. Posting online how much you messed up your budget? Ouch.
2) Learning from each other. I was raised in a frugal household, but it's different when it's your own apartment and you live in a busy city full of fun expensive things to do.
