I can’t believe the year is about over! It feels like yesterday when I started Free From Broke as a Blogger.com site!  It’s certinly been a fun year where I’ve made many online friends, learned so much, and built up this site.

Overall 2008 has been awesome! I can’t wait to see what happens in 2009.  I’m sure it will be exciting.  There’s lots in store so make sure you stay tuned!

Thanks you everyone who has contributed in some way to Free From Broke’s success be it as a referrer, a commenter, a visitor, or a friend.  Without you I’m just talking to myself and that’s not much fun!
