- I changed jobs (not once but twice): I took a big promotion in August and was lucky to able to double my income in less than a year.
- Took 2 international trips to Aruba and Peru and 2 weekend trips to Chicago and Kentucky: We finally crossed Machu Picchu off our travel bucket list.
- Celebrated our 10-year anniversary: It may sound cliche but I am incredibly proud of our marriage and the connection we have. Life can be tough sometimes but I know we'll always have each other's back.
- We welcomed little Finn to our family: I have never been a pet person. My perception completely changed after having him. He's a total sweetheart. He brings so much joy to our family. There were many accidents in the house but thank goodness, he's fully potty trained by 5 months old
- Ran 2 half marathons
- Went to a Celine Dion concert
- Finally finished our backyard: It only took 2 years lol. It's been a long journey but now, it's time to sit back, relax and enjoy it. I will share my backyard in the upcoming Spring.
I typically have a pretty good idea of what I want to accomplish for the new year. However, strange as it may sound, I don't have much on my list for 2020 and I know why. My husband and I are probably are older than most of you. We've done a lot of the hard work already. We built our dream/forever home together, we are both driving our dream cars, we have a solid work history/experience on our resumes, we have a financial plan in place, we own a boat, the kids' college funds are growing. We've accomplished a lot in the past 4, 5 years. Our goals were very different back then. We're finally at that phrase in our life where we have built a solid foundation for our future. We are not looking nor in a rush for the next big thing. We're 100% in a life maintenance mode. I still set goals and continue to strive towards but those goals are simple and easier to achieve.
- BTS just announced their 2020 tour. No dates/locations yet but once they release the information, I will plan a family weekend trip to accommodate Courtney to the concert.
- Planning a family trip to Disney to celebrate the little one's 8th birthday. Still deciding whether we'll do Disney World/Land or a Disney cruise.
- My Dad turns 80 this November (gosh, where does the time go?), we might take a trip to California to see the rest of his family.
- Re-carpet the entire house: Our home is about 5 years old and the carpet is builder-grade carpet. Now the kids are older and the puppy is potty trained =), it's time to give it a fresh look
- Redo both of the girls bedrooms: When we built the home, the kids were still little. They didn't know what they really wanted. Now, they seem to know what they like so we're going to redo their rooms.
- We're planning a family trip to Japan in 2021 so more than likely, there won't be a big summer vacation this year.
- 2020 luxury wishlist: I have a few things in mind but nothing big. I will share my list with you in a later post.
