Challenge
This week's Two Peas blogger challenge is to write about 5 goals accomplished and 5 future goals. This one is tough!
Goals I've Met
Future Goals
Goals I've Met
- College I really wanted to go to the American Academy of Dramatic Arts, but my parents were seriously opposed. In the end, I opted for the College of Charleston (see life goal number two). I literally raced through college and earned my Bachelors degree in two years.
- Live in Charleston I was vacationing in Charleston when I found my heart's home. I was 16 years old and I had never experienced anything like the feelings I knew in Charleston. I knew right away that this was the place I belonged.
- Travel I've been lucky enough to visit Europe twice. The culture, the art and architecture have had a profound effect on me.
- A Good Job I actually have a job where I have amazing autonomy and command respect. I also have job security. My work life is good!
- I survived 3 years as a submariner's wife One of the hardest things I have ever done was commit to a realtionship with (and eventually marry) a submariner. DH was on a fast attack submarine and out to sea 9-10 months a year. While he was deployed, we had virtually no contact. It was three years of living hell. We've been civilians a long time, but I still have nightmares about those deployments.
Future Goals
- Adopt DH and I hope to adopt an infant girl in roughly five years.
- Travel There are still so many places I want to see!
- Finish my novel
- Complete my Book of Me actually this will probably always be a work in progress, but I want to give my daughter (see future goal one) a scrapbook about who I am, what it was like to grow up being me and what my life was like before I got married.
- Continue my commitment to Lifetime Learning I always want to be reading, studying, learning.
