Almost 2009!

Well, this year is winding down quickly. 2008 is almost over, and we anticipate what 2009 holds in store for us all. 

I am quite honestly ready to put the year behind me. It was such a good year, and such a bad year all at the same time. So many highs, and then so many lows.

I look forward every year to a 'fresh start' and I step forward into 2009 with great intentions! 

So, tonight as I ring in the new year with my husband (and friends and family!) I will wish all you a happy new year too!

Make it a beautiful year!

Goals 2009 - Family

We have some goals for 2009:

• No Starbucks for 6 months/at that point perhaps we will introduce in or not.
• Try to buy more second hand clothing for the kids from the VV.
• Check Craigslist more often for items we require.
• Get to bed (Cliff and I before 10:30 pm)
• No eating after 9 pm (Cliff and I)
• Try to buy everything on sale (and try not to buy full price for items--groceries we will try also)
• Keep the kids active/exercise daily (hopefully one hour a day)
• Use cash instead of debit cards
