2008 is done... now what??

I have a few goals.


-we're closing on house in feb so I want to actually get it decorated and make it a home
- get a better job
-enter a figure model competition or run a marathon- I think the marathon will be easier.
-get my ACSM Personal Training certification.

Lets see I would like to


* get more organized
* pay off some debt
* finish some of the house remodeling projects
*lose a few extra lbs

*GET PREGNANT

in 2009 i want to:

VACATION as much as possible - DH works so hard so he deserves it - and i'll just tag along

LOOK NICE for 15 months of being engaged i was a frump - well, i want to be and will be a hot wife and i've been doing good, i got all new clothes, a nice haircut that i blow out everyday , i really have no more excuse to look like a bum 24/7 :)

SAVE money -(but i'm good at that already!) we are both saving as much as we can (without killing ourselves) so we can hopefully purchase a home in 2009 and still have money left to furnish it

BE HEALTHY - stop smoking for good, continue going to the gym, eat healthy, take vitamins, all that good stuff

WORRY LESS - self explanatory!

ETS:
clean up all the wedding stuff, get rid of it or box it up, get my dress cleaned, work on albums and scrapbooks :) :) :)

I thought my #1 goal was to go to the gym but I now realize my #1 goal is to leave my current company and get a real job! That's me praying. I want to have a normal job for at least a year until we start TTC

um..get a better job, start a hobby in photography ( I may want to do that on the side someday), lose some weight)

---

Kristin I got a new camera for Christmas and am looking into photography classes -- interested in going?

I already found one by Nikon -- that isreally more to learn about SLR photography and the camera I got. There is also a light and color class.

Let me know!

I would *like* to.....

-Quit smoking for good!
-Get back into my old gym routine tone up, look and feel better
-Save my salary live on DH's
-look forward to being MOH in my BFF's wedding in March
-continue doing well in my career
-enjoy my marriage

I know it's a great idea...but I am just so used to being independent even though DH keeps saying its OUR money I feel like he'd be paying for my bills and I hate the thought

But I think it'd be the most effective way to save!

i agree with you - that's a great idea but I'd have the same issue... he still buys stuff with his money and I buy stuff with mine so I don't know how we could totally combine. Oh well.

That is what I got the D60! It takes great pictures but i am clueless about really maximizing what it can do.

I have the classes on my calendar and as long as I am not traveling that weekend I am doing it. Let me know if guys are interested!

2008 was one of the most trying times in my life and I'm happy that the year is coming to an end. I have a new appreciation for my life and look forward to all the changes coming in 2009.
