i'M pUmPEd.

I was thinking long term this morning and it struck me that I am in the long term already! Hopefully my life isn't half over yet but I've got 22 years behind me...that's a lot of time. And I've gotten a bit done in that time...I moved away from home, found the man of my dreams and started a family, I got my BA {unofficially} a year ago, and....its pretty much stopped. My life is still hectic with the little man running around wrecking havoc in his path but I find myself watching a lot of TV while browsing the internet, talking on the phone and on chat, and coming up with ways to spend my time {and most often my money} so I'm not bored when Caleb is sleeping or playing by himself. I realized today that I need a GAME PLAN so I can use my spare time to continue to progress and learn new things rather than thinking back on my week and realizing that the only thing I learned was Opera's new favorite book. So here it is.
After I finish my stats class this December I will officially be graduated from BYU. That's when I'm going to enroll in Sheffield Interior Design school online and I will be graduated from that WITH a business plan that I can work where ever Kiel's school/work takes us. I also want to come up with a new and fresh marketing idea for creating small and {relatively} inexpensive beautiful spaces. Such as apartments. My completion date for this goal is 2012. I'll be 25. That's a good age to have a little family and a small business underway.
I also want to start an interior design blog. This is very daunting. There are so many other beautiful and inspiring decorating blogs out there that I feel I have NOTHING to contribute. But having a blog and a following seems to give you authenticity. I'll have to think about that one. My completion date for my blog goal is Dec. 2010.
My final goal is to learn how to create beautiful, tasty, healthy meals. I want to learn how to really cook. I find that meals in my home get put on the backburner (ha) a lot and its hard for me to think of yummy things to make. So I'm going to master the art of thinking up and creating wonderful meals. I want to learn to cook gourmet! I watch plenty of the cooking channel and know many many people around me that have that talent so I can become proficient as well. My completion date for this goal Dec. 2010.
I'm excited for my future!! It makes me excited that I can keep learning and making myself better while Kiel is doing the same thing at school. We really are given so much time and even though it feels that I am up to my neck in "stuff" I could use my time so much better to get so much more done. Cheers to my goals and the future!
