I Never Thought It Would Happen

By Courtney 15 Comments

Oh my gosh, this week has totally been getting away from me!

I had every intention of popping in sooner, but then…well, you know how the story goes. And truth be told, I’ve actually felt somewhat uninspired on the blog front. I’ve been busy, but not with anything that’s all that exciting and worth blogging about, ya know?

But you know what IS worthy of blogging about? Some tremendously exciting news, that’s what! Yesterday, I officially paid off my very last student loan EVER. WOO HOO!

Jay surprised me and brought home some champagne for us to celebrate after work, and I’m still just so pumped. For the longest time, I just assumed that it would be a monthly payment that would forever be in our budget, but after really buckling down this past year and putting some big chunks aside as payments, we were able to make it official. I told Jay I was almost shaking with excitement when I made the final payment. I never thought it would happen!

I’m also celebrating the fact that this guy let me put him down in his crib, AWAKE, for all naps and bedtime with NO crying yesterday.

I have no doubt that it was likely a fluke, but I’m going to hope that it’s a trend that will continue (since it’s something we really needed to work on).

Yesterday was ALSO a much easier day (and much needed day!) on the kiddo front. We’ve had a few rough days over here, between lack of naps, colds, being three…yeah, it’s been a challenge. Oh, and I also quickly realized that attempting a double tubby on Jay’s bowling night is definitely NOT a good idea.

But hey, they both came out clean(ish) so it was still somewhat of a success.

Other than that, we’ve just been…living! I’m hoping that my blog spark will return soon, but until it does, I’ll just be popping in when I can and will continue to enjoy the holiday season with the family!

OH, and tonight, I’m heading out for a girls night and I am SO EXCITED. Dinner and drinks, followed up with an I Love the 90’s Tour concert…eeeek! Smile

I hope you guys are all having a great week!!

    Yay! That is amazing - and such a relieving feeling! We are still working on my hubby's loans, but we will definitely be celebrating as well when those get paid off!

    Omg congrats on the loan pay off, Courtney! I just graduated with my bachelor's in May, and am officially out of the "grace period", so here comes the loans. I plan on being pretty broke for the next 10 or so years! Lol!

    Congrats on your last payment! I'm in school right now so I can appreciate how expensive books and tuition can be.

    I'm interested in a book party! Where should I join or signup? My email is mag.dohler@gmail.com I have a 17 month old who loves picture books and having us point to things and say what they are and doesn't necessarily like being "read to" but maybe that'll change over the next few months? Any recommendations would be great!

    I laughed at your "being three" comment. I totally feel ya! Three is TOUGH! My daughter turns 4 in January and I am secretly hoping and praying that something magical happens the day she turns 4 and all of the "3-ness" disappears. Oy....

    Wow, so much to celebrate! Great week!!! I had a successful week as well- I was traveling for work and spent the week at meetings at Microsoft, got to go out to some fun dinners, see one of my best friends and kick butt! I'm looking forward to a relaxing weekend with my son and a date night with my husband!
