Day 13: Goals

One of my main goals in life was to get married and have children.  I've had the married part down for the past 6 1/2 years but now I have the children part taken care of too!  At least, partially, lol.  In November (or October, who knows) I should be able to mark this goal as completed.  I can't even express to you how amazing it feels knowing that I have a child growing inside me, one that is a combination of Matt and I together.  For anyone that knows us, that's quite the combination.  Matt and I are quite different so I'm interested to see what our child's personality will be like.

Another goal of mine is to get my masters degree.  I was about to sign up and get started on this goal when I found out that I'm pregnant and that we'll be moving next summer, so this goal is currently put on hold.  I want to get my masters in social work and become a military social worker.  I really thought teaching was my calling (that's what I have my B.S. in) but once I graduated and started teaching it just wasn't what I expected it to be, then we moved to GA and it's near impossible to find a decent teaching job here.  So I reevaluated things and decided social work was the way to go.

A long term goal of mine would be for Matt and I to own our own home.  Since he's in the military it is going to be a while before this one happens.  We definitely won't be buying a house until he is done with the military, just doesn't make much sense for us.  It would be nice to save up enough money to be able to build exactly the kind of house we want...we shall see how that goes.

Those are pretty much my goals.  I'm a pretty easy going person with simple dreams I think.  I just want to love and be loved, have a wonderful family, do what I love, and have a place to call our own.  Not too much to ask, right? :)
