2008

Looking back on what I said at the end of 2006:

• I predicted we'd finish paying my parents and pay off the car early. Those didn't happen, unfortunately.
• I predicted that Charles and I would both go to school part time. Instead, I went full time!
  
• I predicted that Charles would go full time at Disney, which he did.
• I predicted we would build the media server, which we did.
• I predicted a trip to Minnesota, but instead my friend from Minnesota made a trip to California.
• I predicted that I'd look for a cooking class, which I did try. Too expensive, though!

Goals/predictions for 2008:

• We will pay off all of our credit card debt.
• I will be in school part time in the spring, then full time in the fall.
• We will be researching cars, and possibly purchase a second new car to replace the Explorer.
• We continue to work on a 20% down payment for the RV that we want, which we may or may not be able to do by the end of 2008. 2009 sounds more likely.
• I will hopefully finish more of my cross stitching projects. I currently have one in progress and one ready to go.

Happy new year, everyone!
