Completed New Year's Resolution #2!

I am so excited; with Dan's paycheck yesterday, we completed our second New Year's Resolution, which was to pay off my small student loan (I only have two). Woohoo! We are so excited; when we started doing Dave Ramsey's plan in August 2007, we had 115,000 (yes, you read that right) in debt. Granted, 65,000 was in student loans, which is better debt than others, although no debt is good, per se, but we had 27,000 in credit card debt (luckily 0%, but still) and 23,000 in car payments. We are now down to about 55,000 in student loans, and that is our only debt (which is still a lot, but compared to what we started with....) We paid off the credit cards six days (yes, days) before Kate was born in February 2010, and then we paid off our car with Dan's January 15th, 2011 paycheck, which means we now have no consumer debt, and we're down to just student loans (and as of yesterday, one less student loan!) I'm so thrilled that we can check off two of our New Year's Resolutions already, and it's only mid-February!

In Kate news, we had a blast at music class yesterday. She loves to "dance," which for her means sitting on the floor and shaking her butt and back. It's so cute; now she's added her hands, too; she'll put her hands up and kind of wobble back and forth (in a controlled manner). It's so cute; all the moms think she's just adorable (she's the youngest one in her class, so everyone loves having a "baby" in there).

Now we've just been cleaning like mad in preparation for my mom's visit tomorrow, and Kate's first birthday party on Saturday. Can't wait!
