Hello 2014

2013 in review: My son turned 18, I financed my very first suv and I love it! My spoiled dog was hit by a truck and survived. She could barely walk for a month and had to have help getting into sitting positions and laying positions and had to be lifted to a standing positions but she survived and that's what matters! I found out that I have high blood pressure which took 5-6 months to get under control. My son started his senior year of high school :( my dr discovered that I have seriously high cholesterol and told me to lose weight and change my diet to see if I can bring it down myself before deciding on putting me on meds for that. I didn't have the best year in 2013 but I got by.

I have many New Years resolutions for 2014 and I will stick to all of them.

I will take that weight off plus some. I am changing the way I eat slowly but surely.

I will succeed in quitting smoking.

And most importantly I am slowly working on making my finances 100% healthy again.

I have a goal to buy a house in the next few years and one way or another I'm going to make that happen.

And I vow to post on a regular basis on here rather then once or twice a year. :)

My son will be graduating in May and I'm completely unprepared and not ready for it. I'm flying my sister and her family out here to help celebrate at his graduation party and I'm completely excited and anxious for them to get here! Not only for the family time but so I can have some much needed  sister time with my baby sis. I'm moving my parents in with me in the spring to free up money for them and for myself. But I don't think my sister yet knows about this which I don't know if that will upset her or not.

Mother Nature started 2014 off with a winter weather advisory for us and the snow is so beautiful right now. I took a picture earlier but unfortunately I can't figure out how to upload a picture of it from my iPad so I guess I will have to leave the picture out that I took earlier.

I hope that 2014 brings everyone happiness, good health both physically and financially! 

             Happy New Year!!!
