Always late

I hope all of you had a Merry Christmas. This year was a simple Christmas on account that I haven't been working full time since Kohen was born. I made most of the gifts I gave to my family and we tried to stick to a budget with the kids. Thankfully Grace is pretty easy to please, all she wanted was an Easy Bake Oven and a cupcake decorator. Kohen was too sick to care about Christmas or presents. My goal for Christmas 2009 is to be done shopping by Halloween. I tried to get Christmas cards to as many as I could, but postage is expensive and so was printing the cards so I hope no one got their feelings hurt. I am very excited for what 2009 will bring. Frank and I are going to be tightening the belt straps and working on getting our vehicles paid off. We want pay off Frank's student loans, they are not due until he is done with school which won't be for a few more years but we want to be out of debt by the end of 2009. We are going to start saving for his tuition and thankfully his works offers tuition reimbursement. Besides our home we hope to be debt free. Not only are we going on a financial diet but on a food diet as well. We are both unhappy with how look and feel and we want our children to learn to eat healthy and be fit. Hopefully since we are both ready for change it will be easier. Wish us luck. I hope all of you have a wonderful new year!

You definitely have two adorable kids. :) I hope you had a great Christmas and good luck with the financial and diet challenges! I get to turn in my car (lease) in January 2010 and I count down every time I make a payment so I know how you feel. Happy New Year!!

Im on the wallet diet and the food diet too. Im tired of being broke and having nothing but fast food reciepts to show for it. Ugh.

Want to do a fitness challenge? Im trying to get some people to do 30 minutes of cardio each day for 30 days. We can text each other to get off our butts and work out! So far I have missed one day since Jan 1st. I need to go get on the wii fit now.

Have fun!
