Financial Goals 2012.

We always do so much better when we put in writing our financial goals. Thus, Alex and I are writing down our goals for 2012 to help us stay accountable for what we want to achieve for our family!

Financial Goals
1. Get PMI taken off of our Home Loan
2. Pay off Alex's small student loan ($641.00 to be exact)
3. Save enough money to replace Jolie's car by November 1, 2012 in cash!
That will hopefully help us get to where we want to be in 2012. Baby steps!

Blessed

Christmas break has begun! I'm home for the next 11 days with our two little ones, and all I can think of this year is how incredibly blessed I am. Rowan and Isla are healthy, Alex and I are both still gainfully employed, Dixie is our kids' best friend, and Alex and I still like each other. It just doesn't get much better than that!

Rowan and I finished wrapping our Christmas presents this afternoon as Isla napped. I am now officially done shopping and wrapping and simply get to enjoy the season:-) Makes my heart happy.

Alex is working today, but he has taken most of next week of to come and play with the kids and I. Rowan loves it when Dad stays home too, and I can't say I complain either;-) It is way easier with two on two!

Merry Christmas to everyone! May your weekend be filled with joy, peace, and love as you celebrate the birth of Jesus.
