Okay, it is the beginning of a brand new year. I guess technically we are 6 days in, but this is the first time I have had to really think about it. Last year just seemed like whirlwind. I can't believe that in only 6 short months (if all goes according to plans) I will be an RN.
Since it is the beginning of the year I feel like I have to at least review last year and determine what changes I need to make. No resolutions for me, just changes. I have to say that I have had to lower my standards of what a clean house is. That has been quite an adjustment for me, but it has been necessary to try to maintain a little sanity. I am sure that there are more adjustments that will have to be made this year as I switch from a full-time student to working full-time and still going to school part-time. I just have to continue to pray that God continues to show me what is important and what I can let slide.
I am also trying to make some adjustments to our budget. The economy has taken its toll on us just as it has so many others. God continues to bless us in many ways and I feel like I should make some changes to the budget in order to be a better steward of those blessings. One of my favorite things about the internet is all the wonderful resources on ways to save money. I have been lead to many wonderful blogs that have helped me make changes in our spending and saving.
Yes, it has been quite a year, and I am sure that 2009 will be even better!
