Accomplishment!

I just paid my LAST truck note! HOORAY! It is officially paid off. This makes me feel very accomplished and proud! Sounds silly, I know. I bought this car for myself on my 21st birthday. I had a heck of a truck note, but LOVED it. When my ex-husband and I were going through our rough patch everyone was telling us to file bankruptcy and I said, "Absolutely not!" I did not want to and I was going to work my butt off to make sure we/I didn't. It was not even an option for me, especially because I did not want to loose my truck that I had been paying for this whole time. I always took care of my bills and paid them on time so why should my credit have to suffer for something that I didn't even do kind of thing. After all of that and the divorce and not getting child support, I, ME, MYSELF have paid off my truck!! It strained my bank account after I got left with nothing and I have indeed struggled to pay this thing off these past year, but I DID IT!! On my own. So now I get to drive around a truck that I love and it is ALL MINE! Can not wait to get that title. Feels so good.

Let's see what else, Christmas is only 7 days away, I can not believe it. I am so excited! I just loving giving presents to all of my friends and family. My family always gets frustrated with me because every year they will ask me what I want for Christmas and I always say, "World Peace!" and I am completely serious but they always tell me they can not give me that. I have everything I have ever wanted and needed so the material things are just things. And just being with my loved ones on Christmas is enough for me. And let's not forget what Christmas is really about. At Skylar's school this past week they were having their little Christmas party and before lunch they sang Happy Birthday to Jesus and it just brings tears to my eyes! Also, Skylar has really enjoyed our little "Elf on the Shelf" this year. She wakes up every morning wondering where "Aunt Evie" is? (that is our little elf's name) It is so cute, and she always gets a kick out of her tricks and where she finds her. Every night when Sky sees it getting dark outside she will say, "It's getting dark outside Mommy, it is almost time for Aunt Evie to fly through the sky to the North Pole." It is just so cute to see her get so excited. This year is going to be a fun Christmas morning for Skylar! She is 3 and is the perfect age! Here is our cute little Elf playing with our dogs and doing some tricks.....

Hope you all have a very merry Christmas! This week is fun-filled with activities for me and my family!
