What's your next big thing?

What do you think, or hope, will be the next big occurrence in your life that changes it for the better? I'm talking family, career, investments, travel, whatever.

Re: What's your next big thing?

  • Demo starts on our main bathroom in a few weeks. So a big bathroom renovation is in the works a fence and a HUGE tree removal. And probably TTC #2 this winter.
  • It will probably come as no surprise to anyone that we're hoping a baby will be the next big thing for us.  Sadly, looks like this last cycle was a bust (again).  Seeing the doc after Easter to start the fun process of fertility testing, etc. 

    Always missing my Mommy (1954-2010) and Daddy (1943-2012)
    TTC since 2009 ; BFP 9/13/10 = MC 10/21/10

  • hmmm good question. I'm really not sure.  DH and I are both not ready for babies.

     I think trying to get our bills paid off and deciding if we can really expand on our house in the next 5ish years.

  • We're hoping to move into a bigger apartment this summer.  This is the LAST move within Rockland.  We're saving up tons for a home in Westchester or CT.  No more kids until I hit 30 and own a home. :)

  • I'm with Chris in the not ready for babies yet. Our house is pretty good for now.  At some point N will prob finish the basement.  I'm looking forward to 2 friends weddings in May, going to Maine in August and the Kenny Chesney/Zac Brown Band concert in August though :)
  • Hopefully a baby. I don't think we're doing anymore major projects in the house, but knowing my husband, it's still very possible.

    Hello. I've waited here for you. Everlong<3<br>
  • need to really figure out some house plans and start moving on what we can do now.

    maybe a new job for one of us.

  • a kid would be great but not holding my breath

    next big thing is working on bathrooms. 

    sometimes all you really need in life is a pink wig.
  • well a baby will definitely be the most life changing whenever that happens...

    maybe a windshield!  Mine has a crack and safelite was supposed to fix it but they are having a problem getting the exact one.  We've been on their as.s cause if it is from safelite it will be covered through insurance,  if we have to go to the dealer we have to pay for the majority of it.

    we're going on a Med. cruise in the beginning of the summer

  • Summer summer summertime! We have our replacement pool on order and it will hopefully be installed mid-May. Since we have to pay for all of the pool expenses out-of-pocket we won't be getting a new deck this year like I'd hoped. Oh well. Whoever doesn't like the one we have can stay the fuuck home, right? LOL. Aside from that, I have to buy new patio furniture because I never actually did it last year.
  • hopefully a house! We're planning to start looking again late August & hoping to close/move by end of November <3

  • A little bathroom demo (we haven't been able to use the shower in our master bath since we moved in over a year ago because it leaks into the dining room)  =(

  • A baby due in late July and we're house hunting this weekend :)

  • Looks like there will be a lot of babies on this board in the future!!! 

    Our next big thing is deciding what to with our living situation.  For those of you who dont know, we lived in a gorgeous home in NC.  DH was downsized this time last year  and at 7 months pregnant, we had to think fast since I was not working and we needed health insurance.  DH got a job up here and we are living in an apartment in IL's basement (God help me). 

    So, the house has been on the marker for over a year and we have only had one! offer and it was a lowball.  (About 70,000 less than we were asking which is almost half price..lol)  If it does not sell by October, we may think about moving back down.  That would be huge for us, as it would be taking LB away from all her family and that would be quite difficult.  We want to ttc #2 this winter, but it is hard to do that when you live in a 1 bedroom apt.  Even harder when you are paying a mortgage on a 3 br home about 500 miles away. =(

  • We dont need to do any home renos soon but on my list - in no specific order is:

    redo master bath, retile powder bath, finish basement with a slider (which means blasting through the foundation) redo the deck enlarge and restain and possibly painting a guest room

  • We have a little of it all.....

    we agree on moving to FL if one of us can find a decent job to start....

    buying a house....

    and baby when we have our plans in motion....i'm itching for another and can just be done!

  • ohhh.  and maybe marriage.  one day.
  • I would say house, but that means the value of our townhouse needs to come up first.  I refuse to take a loss on this place.  We don't need to move, we'd just like to, so we can stick it out a little longer if need be.  Baby #2 is still ? as to when we'll TTC.  I would like it to be fall but DH and I are still discussing timing. 

    The only sure thing coming up is our trip to Turks & Caicos in September.  We're going for a friend's wedding (DH is the best man) but are turning it into a week long 5th anniversary trip.  We are going to be alone for the first time since our honeymoon.  I cannot wait to go!!

    JennyNell...enjoy Turks!  It is still one of my fave vacations1

    For us, it is a house.  We rent right now but we just need more space.  The baby shop is closed...I would love more but I feel like we were blessed so with our first that I don't want to tempt fate..my age is the biggest part of that as well.

  • Jack's surgery in last May.

  • Well the biggest thing for us is our little girls arrival in August :) We dont have too many other big plans set yet. Just focusing on the babys arrival :)

    Its not really big, but one big thing to us that we are looking forward to is hopefully purchasing a new vehicle sometime this year. I'm not sure when but that will be nice :) 

  • I would love a house...or just a bigger place - 3 br (the kids share a room now)

    and... honestly, even before a house, I'd like to take a "big" vacation just DH & I - like, airplane, beach, sand, NO KIDS, drinks, ... but I'm not sure we have $$$ for either.
