(my community group. feel free to be jealous of our name.) i'm not going to write it all out here on my blog, because it's not something that i feel needs to be shared with the world wide web. but if you know me, and you ask, i'll probably tell you. there's nothing to really be ashamed of from my story, but i stories are not something to be taken lightly.<br /><br />so. i'm crossing this off the list.Hollyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04808258140405886402noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-622343333624378641.post-86614199337789112862012-03-19T16:30:00.000-05:002012-03-19T16:30:00.080-05:0030 before 30 update: 25. walk the cumberland river pedestrian bridgeon my 29th birthday, my roommates and i spent the morning walking the pedestrian bridge. it wasn't as long as i excepted actually, but it was fun to walk across and get a great view of the skyline. here's one of the pictures i snapped along the way:<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-tYbMBPtExEE/T2eaCeYj_aI/AAAAAAAABJg/bIuuDL5QRFk/s1600/429548_628180973693_56200002_32563375_403200687_n.jpg"><img style="display:block;

At end of year keep only year-end stub. Keep these for 7 years.<br /> <br />Bank Statements – 3 months<br /> <br />Financial Documents (stocks, bonds, etc) – indefinitely<br /> <br />Utility Bills – if claiming on taxes 7 years, otherwise 3 months<br /> <br />Mortgage Statements – ownership period of the mortgaged property + 7 years<br /> <br />Mortgage Documents – 10 years<br /> <br />Credit Card Statements – 3 months (although i suggest you go the <a href="http://www.daveramsey.com/home/">dave ramsey</a> route and not use credit cards, ever. at almost 29-years old, i never have.)Hollyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04808258140405886402noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-622343333624378641.post-8602879496729652122012-01-02T09:28:00.009-06:002012-01-02T09:37:01.941-06:00friday photos: 2011.52i realize it's not friday, but with 2011 ending on a saturday, i wanted to get all the last few pictures into one post. so, here's the end of my 2011 project 365. stay tuned, though, because i've decided to continue through 2012.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">friday, december 23</span><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-7kxBh0bo2QQ/TwHNZHNUbvI/AAAAAAAABHI/0f6DPVsM71k/s1600/day%2B357%2Bdec%2B23.jpg"><img style="display:block;
