Live happy, breathe it and be consumed with it. (reading the secret)

Since I am 100% debt free now I will help my husband pay off his cc with my extra jobs.

Save for a house.

Go on a trip to England.

Maybe by the end of next year start to put a 'baby' plan on the books.

1. Start working out again
2. Get a job with a good benefits (including retirement)
3. Cut down on shopping.
4. Stop using credit cards as much as I do now that I have the balances down
5. Try to save a set amount of money each month so I can afford a house before I am 50!

1. get a mkt job (better than my previous position)since i got laid off and am currently unemployed...hopefully the economy picks up

2. organize our place (get rid of all the wedding clutter etc)

3. start looking for something to own (coop/condo/townhouse/house)

4. baby talk (but probably not until everything else is in order)

I have to say that 2008 was the best year of my life!!! even if it wasn't the year i got married, its been a wonderful year of accoplishments!

for 2009 i want to become get my certification to be a makeup artist and hopefully start my own business

Get into shap so i can feel and look like myself again!!!

hope at the end of 09 start trying for a family

just try to live life the best person i can be and enjoy the ride along the way!



me too! I'm really sad its over



I agree 2008 was a really great year. I actually got into a car accident in February and I think it changed my whole outlook-it taught me that I need to slow down. I had just finished school so I was so used to rushing around between working full time and going to school full time. But it was blessing in disguise because I realized that I needed to look for a better job and I got one. I also bought a new car-which I definitely need for my new job in the city. Of course the wedding and hm was amazing but that just added to what a great year it really was. I'm so excited for a successful 2009.



I got into an accident also! 3 days before my wedding! and it changed my whole outlook as well!!! I really learned how precious life really is and that you should live life to the fullest..each day we are here is seriously a blessing



It's so amazing that it took something like that to slow me down. I remember thinking that totalling my car was the absolute worse thing that could happen with the wedding coming up. And then someone said to me 'well at least you will be at your wedding.' That really puts it into perspective. My mom and I were talking about this and she's like you know you get little signs from your body that you need to relax but sometimes it takes something big to get your attention. I truly believe everything happens for a reason.

I've accomplished a lot this year. I graduated, quit smoking, passed state boards, started working as a nurse, moved out of my parents for the first time, got married, adopted a kitten.

It was a year of great difficulty personally but looking back I've done a lot.

This year I want to

-Loose weight, eating right and exercising
-I'm starting school again to get a bachelor's in nursing.
-Paying off debt and saving money.
- Enjoy married life.
-Spend lots of time with fmaily (although this hasn't changed)
