Goals

If you really know me I am very much a goal oriented girl. If I want something bad enough no matter how much work it takes I will do it. Gav is the same, when he has his mind set, thats it. lol Love it! So there it is, I always meet my goal. I absolutely believe that a Bagua Vision Board (or something along those lines) http://baguavisionboard.wordpress.com/ really works. It truly helps me see my goals and aspirations everyday and to stay focused on what I want to accomplish in the next few years.
When my man and I got together after six months of dating we knew we wanted to be together forever, so we decided it would be a good experience to each set separate goals and then goals together. A couple goals we decided on was to buy house by my 21st birthday, and he felt it was important that he owned his own business by his 25th birthday and both were met. Sure we made other goals that are happening, and have slightly missed the date by a year or so. No problem. They were obviously not as important to us. And its true, when I look back at the scrap book that we made, the goals that are slightly behind did not have that big of a focus. Interesting.

I was talking to my man last night on skype and we made some new goals. How exciting! We want to get married before our 8 year anniversary. I need a full time job (or 2 part time jobs) for at least a year as a dental hygienist. Mostly get my foot in the door but also to get maternity leave and pay off my student loans... then we are soo ready for babies! We both want 2 babies, obviously a boy and a girl, but would be happy with anything that comes out (preferably no aliens...) Naima is going to be the best big sister, I know she will want to help take care of them. Gav wants residual income within the next 5 years (very possible). The last thing we talked about was house renovations. Each year after I graduate and have a job we are going do one significant renovation to our home. The whole downstairs is complete (well almost just needs baseboards) now I want our area to be started.

I must have planned our wedding about 4 times. I could tell you every single detail about each idea. We have for sure come to a final decision though. *scream excitement* The only reason why we haven't got married yet is because of finances. School really makes it difficult to save money and give us time to plan anything. But the 8 year mark something will happen.

The latest plans I have been thinking of is for Naima's bedroom. I cannot wait to design it. Naima and I were looking at pictures a couple weeks ago together and she wants each wall a different color (yellow, blue ceiling, pink, green and orange)  Then pink (of course) bedsheets and comforter. We are going to put up sticky colorful huge circular stickers along the top of the walls and glow in the dark stars covering her ceiling. Oh its is going to look adorable!!!

 This is kinda like the circular sticker idea, but maybe not that big and only along the ceiling on the wall.

This is for the different wall color idea, disregard the gross carpet, she will have wood flooring.

I kinda like the flower wall stickers too, how fun. I'll have to ask Naima about this one. I am making sure she wants these things and that I do not take over. Its her room after all.

For my spring break in May I am going to make up our next Bagua Vision Board to fulfill our latest goals. Oh how exciting.

Oh there are only 103 days left before I am done my first year of school in Vancouver. What an experience!!!

Ok, Back to studying...
