26 Goals at age 26

Hi! I've decided to go with my strengths on this next blog post. I am passionate about planning and figuring out logistical details, almost to the point of being fanatical. So I will simply give you a list of the 26 goals I hope to accomplish in the next six years, now that I am 26.  These goals are a combination of personal, family, education, and career goals:

1.  Family pictures every other year (2011, 2013, 2015), kids pictures taken every six months.
2. Start UCMT program either in October 2011 or October 2012 (finish by August 2013)
3. Start working at Resort or Medical field by September 2013
4. Apply to Grad School or Law School (Fall 2016)
5. Finish 72 Hour kits by December 2011
6. Three year old potty-trained by age four (June 2012)
7. Kids taught to read and write at age five (October 2011 and 2013)
8. Bookshelf and filing cabinets organized by December 2011

13. Invest in stock portfolio for each family member each month by June 2014
14. Work part-time by June 2011, full-time by June 2012
15. Buy a house by Fall 2012
16. Get a dog and two cats by Spring 2013
17. Finish research and writing Historical novel by December 2015
18. Run full marathon by Fall 2013
19. Play Harp for 40 functions a year starting in Fall of 2013
20. Family trip to Disneyland in 2013
21. Start Husband's Architecture Grad Program in Fall of 2014
22. Cars paid off by 2014
23. Move out-of-state Summer of 2014
24. Graduate school finished by 2017
25. Novel published by Fall 2016
26. Baby in 2012? 2014?


I like to function in five or six year plans and so by the time I'm thirty, I hope to have most of these accomplished. I'll keep you updated on mine and my family's progress on each of these.

I think I'll do this every year, but make it for the year. 25 goals for 25, 16 for 16, etc. I better get started since half my year is gone... maybe I'll divide it all up based off of how much time I have left.

You are going to be one busy lady! Hope you are successful but just crossing off a few of those things is a big achievement I think.
