2009 in Review: Sweet Success!

I had only one financial resolution in 2009: to pay off my student loans and become non-mortgage debt free. We actually achieved this goal back in April, so I turned my attention to other goals – namely, paying off the mortgage.

My financial goal was really the only tangible goal I had. It's hard to measure my success for goals like being a good wife, mother, daughter and friend, being a kinder person, etc. All I can really say about those goals is that I'm ending the year feeling pretty good about myself.

Overall, though, I'm very happy to say good-bye to 2009. It seems like it was the year for health scares, and I hope neither of my children has to spend another night in the hospital for the rest of their lives. Here's to a very healthy and happy 2010 for all of us!
