When I started college in 2006, 2010 seemed SO far away…several lifetimes at least. D and I had just started dating, and I was beginning my first semester of nursing school.
Fast forward to today, December 31, 2009. D and I have been dating for 3 1/2 years, and I’m about to graduate with a degree in education. (Nursing just wasn’t my bag, I love working with kids too much…blame it on all those summers I spent baby-sitting.)
Tomorrow will be the first day of 2010, and I have some big hopes for that year:
1. Graduate…FINALLY! I am expected to graduate in May.
High School Graduation
2. Get an actual job. I really need for this to happen so that I can make all my other hopes come true!!!!!
I do things like this when I am not working....
3. Get a bigger place. I realllllly would love to buy a house with D, but that may not be until next year…it just depends what happens job-wise for the two of us. Maybe at this time in 2010, I’ll be posting here from mah very own house…or maybe from my very own rented condo. My lease is up on my apartment in May, so that should spur me on to bigger and better things. ( I realllly, really do love my apartment, but I’m not sure if I’ll get a job in the area, so it’s hard to know what to do.)
I don’t have a corresponding house picture, so moving right along:
4. Ahem…I would love to tie the knot this year. D and I are not wanting a big wedding, so we don’t have to do a lot of planning. We just want close family and friends around us. Who knows, maybe I’ll even wear non-Top-Sider non-Emu boot shoes…although I wouldn’t put money on that bet.
Ok, I lied…I totally will probably wear these shoes to the altar. Or maybe these. Those are my two most comfy pairs o f shoes…well, except for these. But I promise not to wear those at my wedding.
5. Take a fabulous trip! I am pretty sure D and I will be going to Florida to see my family this summer, but I would LOVE for us to go somewhere we’ve never been before too.
6. Write more. Write more in this blog, and write more stories. I think I may actually have time to do it this year too…we shall see. I have so many story ideas floating around in my head, I need to actually sit down and write them out.
7. Read more. One of my goals this year was to read 200 books…I’m pretty sure I accomplished that…I just quit writing them down after awhile. I want to read even more in 2010.
So those are some things that I am hoping for in 2010…what are your hopes for the New Year? I can’t wait to see what happens.
In the meantime, tonight D and I are going to sit back with a bottle of champagne and ring in the New Year.
I wish you all a happy, healthy, and safe New Year!
