Re: QOTD 7/1

  • Wow!!  Time really flies!

    My biggest accomplishments so far this year are getting my anxiety under control, and working on my writing.  

    For the rest of the year, we are buckling down on saving for a house, finishing paying off credit cards (we're so close!!!!), and building up our savings.  And more writing for me.  I really want to be able to just write my own fiction full-time one day.  I don't need to be a millionaire, just want to be able to earn a salary.

  • I can't believe the year is half over.  Time is really flying.

    I have big plans for the rest of the year, have the baby and move into our home.  I guess all of that will be finished by mid-September, so maybe after that taking it easy for a while.
  • I can't believe we are halfway through 2014! I guess my big accomplishment is having a baby?

    I'm in the process if looking for a new job, so hopefully I can transition before the end of the year.

  • This year is FLYING by!

    My biggest accomplishment is definitely finishing my Ph.D. Moving to and getting settled in the DC area is another big thing that's happened in the past 6 months too.

    Goals/Plans for the rest of 2014:
    1) Find a job!!!! Hopefully sooner rather than later!
    2) Trip to CA for my best friend's wedding on Nov 1
    3) 30th Birthday on Dec 1

  • Biggest thing so far is selling our house and becoming debt free.  As of last night, all debt has been paid except H's student loan.  That is so much stress off our shoulders!

    For the rest of the year, our biggest goals are to find the perfect home for us and hopefully start trying again.

  • Biggest accomplishment is paying off the Jeep! Now we have baby money lol. I should have my last student paid off in October if I can reign Hs spending in.

    Next 6 months... Finish baking this baby, decorating the nursery and the kids room. We have the kids for 2 weeks this summer! So excited! Then it's baby time and adjusting to motherhood.

  • Biggest achievement of getting KU seems weird, but I'm happy about it! Other than that, moving has been a huge accomplishment!

    Goals will be to sell our old house (soon!) and get settled into our new place.

  • My biggest accomplishment of the year will be baby I'm sure.

    The rest of the year we'll just be preparing for our spawn.  I also need to get all the licensing and classes done so I can do in home daycare. 

  • Biggest accomplishment was for sure the baby. I'm starting my last year of nursing school in September. And we're travelling halfway across the country to visit my Grandparents at Christmas.

  • I don't think I did anything really great in the first half of 2014. 
     
    My goals for the remainder of the year are: pay off my student loan (should be easy since it's not much at all); build my photography business enough so it can be my full time job; get pregnant.

  • Haven't really accomplished much in the first part of the year other then grow this baby! Second half of the year I look forward to finally meeting this squish face and experiencing motherhood!!
  • I'm still shocked it's July. And I'm even more stunned that I did not have to adjust too many papers at work today to fix the date. Usually there's at least one or two data entries for my labwork where I've had to either rewrite or try to fudge a number change. Little harder to turn a 6 into a 7.

    Not really much has gone on in the first half of the year. At least things that would be considered "accomplishments" anyway. 
    I did quit my second job since it was stressing me out--even when they were trying to convince me to stay. 
    And I managed to get through finishing three cross stitch projects--one of which had a deadline!
    I tried out for Jeopardy too.

    An upcoming accomplishment will be my three year anniversary at my job this August. This will be the longest I have had a job, so that's kind of exciting. Only other future goals I can think of involve finding a new house.

  • Accomplished already... paid off my car and earned a position in our district's special education central office. 

    Still to do... pay off our 2-week trip to Italy for July 2015. It's our last hurrah before we start TTC!
