One step closer to 30...

On the eve of my 26th birthday, I sit and ponder on all that I've accomplished; I graduated college with a bachelors degree and enjoy my career to the fullest. I got married. I have traveled somewhat often but only twice out of the continental US. I live what I consider to be a happy and meaningful life...but I realized that there's so much more I want to do. So much to learn and see and absorb.

I recently saw a high school friend's blog, in which she delineates 101 goals for herself in the upcoming months. I thought it was really inspiring, and so I've thought a little bit about what I really would like to accomplish in the next 2 years. I hope to be able to look back on this and check them all off my list!!

6 month goals:

       -Study for and FINALLY take the CCRN (certification for ICU nurses)

       -Map out my study plan for my masters degree

       -Learn to make 3 new recipes from scratch

1 year goals:

-Take a course at miami dade; cooking, photography, dance, etc

-Finally make the scrapbooks I've been putting off, including one for the wedding

2 year goals:

-Travel to Europe

-Go on a medical mission to another country

-Start a family :-)

My goals are by far not an all encompassing list; this is just the beginning! But maybe seeing it in writing will give me that much needed boost.

P.S.-I feel like I have to mention that, although it felt a little strange/sad today to be celebrating my bday with my husband instead of my mom and brother, he pulled off a great day. New boots, dinner and scrumptious dessert...he knows me so well. LOL
