Goals

So after last weeks slightly depressing post I have decided to come up with a life list of sorts letting you all know my goals for the next year, five years, ten years, lifetime. So that this way you all can hold me accountable for them, and help encourage me to meet them. :-) some are pretty out there, others are pretty basic, but all in all these are the goals I have decided to set for myself. Please feel free to comment, share, pray for me as I reach for them, and push me when I need it!!

• Train to 
• become a self-defense instructor
• become a CPR/First Aid instructor
• speak Spanish fluently (or be on my way to that goal)
• Finish writing my book. To see my progress check out my page on Scribd
•  Have at least one child
• See the Grand Canyon
• Go on a cruise
• Let go of vanity and shave my head for cancer St. Baldricks

• Buy a house
• Get Mark through college :-D
• Finish my Master's degree

• Write a second book
• Spend a month living in a different country and/or host an exchange student

By 12/31/2030

• Renew my vows
• Be a PTA/Soccer mom with a carload of kids :-D
• Have visited every continent 
• Seen every Presidential Museum
• Run for public office whether that's a city council rep, State Rep, Senator, President ;-)
• Have my PhD
• Start my own non-profit
• Teach someone how to read
• Be a good/happy person
• Be graceful
• Do something absurdly generous

So that is my list as of now. Just because it's under the 2030 category doesn't mean I can't do it sooner, I could theoretically do all of it by the end of next year....though I don't think I'll have the time or resources to necessarily do that. :-) I can't wait to scratch things of the list and add new things to the list as I think of them.
Love you all!
