so sunday, on the car ride home, zane & i started chatting about the future & asking each other what we see, what we anticipate, what we hope, what we need... & basically we still don't know much. the future is just a big huge blank chalkboard. messy with erase marks & begging to be written on.
what we do know is that... we signed a lease for another year, so we will definitely be in palm coast, florida until december 2010.
and we really want to start a family. but we don't want to start until we can move to arizona, (or nearby anyway) so that we can raise them near my parents.
so... it's our primary goal to work on saving money during these next 12-months & working on cutting out all the extras. less shopping/eating out/& other sometimes unnecessary things.
but. we also want to take a "real" holiday sometime this year. maybe fall? maybe late summer? maybe early 2011? we both like the idea of spending a couple weeks between england, holland & france. we've never done something like that for ourselves & we'd like too.
so as cliche as it is to set goals at the start of a new year, we're doing it anyway. & it's not quite a new year's resolution since we made it on december 27th right? =)
I think it's great that you guys talk about that kind of stuff even if it seems like you don't get anything really settled!! It's still important! Sounds like an exciting future! And the Holiday sounds like a great plan!! DO IT! :)
ReplyDeleteGlad us parents are included in some of your future thoughts and hopefully (plans :-) Yes, I know the year will just fly, once again. It always amazes me how quickly time flys by. It's so good to talk about, and have some thoughts and ideas and aims and goals to look toward and think about. They aren't necessarily new year's resolutions but more like thoughts to think about and work toward.
ReplyDeleteCan I just say goals are AWEsome..and so are new year's resolutions, as cliche as they may be.
ReplyDeleteSounds exciting..(and maybe...scary or something like it--maybe daunting would be a better term for it) to have a big huge chalkboard begging to be written on...
