2012 - What's it looking like for you?

2»

Re: 2012 - What's it looking like for you?

  • Continue working on my dad's estate (yes, been almost a year, and we're looking at another 6 months at least of really hard work to get it all in order) and helping my mom run the family marina.  Hopefully will take an even more active role in it as a social media/media coordinator of sorts.  Really need to help Mom purge through all of my dad's stuff and get down to the stuff she needs/really wants to keep.

    Big change for my organizing business...haven't done anything with it in a year (since right before my dad died), and I reevaluated over the summer and felt like God was nudging me in a different direction.  I'm really hoping that my new direction will be what I'm meant to do (still organizing, just a new approach) and that I will be busy with clients next year.

    Might take a trip in the summer to Cape Cod with DH's family.

    One year anniversary of my dad's death in January.

    Maybe some house projects...

    Charlotte's first dance recital in May!!!  Cannot WAIT to see it.

  • We may (probably) buy a new house and move - not far away, but still.

    I honestly hope that's it.  This year was a roller coaster!  I don't plan on having any babies next year, we will likely take a short weekend trip sometime in January and that's it.  Anything else isn't on the books and that's ok with me.  :-) 

  • A new (rental) house. Hopefully a baby. Possibly a new job for DH that will take us back to the desert. Two weddings = two trips to Arizona. Maybe a vacay somewhere inbetween.

    I'm hopeful that 2012 will be a much better year than 2011..

  • Houstonkdw....  I'm sorry to hear this....  It's a good thing but still a hard thing.  Hugs.  

     

  • Another one whose baby will start kindergarten.  We are keeping him at the same school he is in now, so not a huge change. Possibly sending the little one to MDO to give me a day off.

  • I turn 30, we will see if/what DHhas anything planned. It is possible we will go home and have a party and hopefully have a few adult only nights! Vegas would work also!

    A few home projects, adding a sprinkler system, new grass and redoing the kitchen are what we would like to do.

    As for trips we will go to Ohio next Christmas and possibly in July too. DH and I already decided we would like to take long weekend trips for next year until DS is a little older. We just got back from 6 days in Florida and it was quite an experience...even with 5 family members there!

  • We are going to get credit card debt free, buy a new (used) car, and start trying for another baby.

    We would like to take Evan to San Antonio/Sea World around his birthday, but we don't have any other trips planned.

    I'm praying for a great year for so many people who haven't had an easy time the past few years.

    Dx: PCOS and short luteal phase

    But I'm also planning a trip to Germany in the spring or early summer to visit my sister & niece.  I've never been to Europe before so I'm really excited about that.

    Edit this to say that I'll be going to Germany in July for the birth of my new niece or nephew Party!!!

    That's so exciting!!

  • DH and I both turn 30 and it'll be our 5th Anniversary so we'd like to take a big trip but no plans yet. We haven't really thought about 2012 too much - gotta finish up 2011 first.

  • Not much planned. Will be taking a trip for spring break, but we haven't figured out where yet. We've taken beach vacations for the last 2 years, so I kind of want something different, even though there are so many great beach destinations here. But not sure what would be good with the kids. Hong Kong maybe, or Malaysia.

  • ill be finishing up my doctorate...THANK GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it will be my son's last year before going to kinder...and i want to spend as much time with him as i can!!!


  • I sure hope 2012 is better than 2011! :)

    Well...hopefully my DH will continue to heal. He is currently paralyzed from Guillain Barre Syndrome but he is slowly healing. If he could walk by the end of 2012, that would be AMAZING! :)

    My 40th Birthday is in January and my friends are throwing me a roller skating birthday party! 

    We had been planning to adopt in 2012 but not sure about that right now....

    Continue to diet and exercise....I am officially 3 sizes below my wedding weight and want to continue working on that!

    Continue my Bible Studies at church.

    We had vacation plan but everything is on hold right now.... 

  • I'll be a SAHM again and can't wait!! My last day of work is next week...they wanted me to go full-time but I declined so they had to replace me.

    Hopefully try for a baby #2 the second half of the year. I'm trying to lose 20 lbs and get healthier the first half of the year before we try.

    WDW in March with my parents!

  • Lose a significant amount of weight - period.

    Get Debt Free - Finally (and PERIOD!)

    Annual bff cruise - we go around April/Mayish

    Go on vacation with the family - in the almost 6 years that we have been married, my family (mom,dad,aunts,uncles, cousins,etc) has gone on vacation in the summer and we have never been able to go with them and this will be the first time! I CAN'T WAIT!

    After we finish the Debt Free stuff - do some housework - get the floors done and remodel the master bath. (other than those two things, we LOVE our house)

    Small weekend trips here and there as $$ permits. 

    Help sister move/decorate her house when they buy it! I can't wait for Belle to get her house because then that means it's the start of making a niece or nephew that we get to spoil!!!!

  • Lose another 25(?) pounds.

    Six half marathons in six months.

    A two/three week trip to Alaska (and a half marathon up there) in June.

    Buy a house.  Maybe.

    Want to surprise father-in-law with baby #3 announcement on his 60th birthday Christmas Eve 2012.  Maybe we'll just start trying then.

  • We have a few trips planned for next year which include our 5 year anniv trip to Cabo in March and then possibly to San Diego with the kids in the summer.

    We are working on paying off my car early and paying off a couple of bills.

    I want to launch a writers workshop next year at my new school and attend a few workshops.

    For my SS we are going to start looking at colleges and he will take the SAT.

    DS will continue going to school a few days a week and I want to possibly do swim lessons in the summer or maybe indoor soccer:)

    Ayers, that sucks, sorry.

     

    We're moving twice next year.  First to Singapore, then to Okpo, South Korea.  So major life changes there.  Including me quitting my job & not knowing if I'll have one ever again.  (If anyone has tips on how to apply for jobs in Asia, let me know.)

    We'd love to be blessed with a baby in 2012, but if I'm not pregnant by the time we leave for Singapore, we may just take a nice long break from IF treatments.

    We'll be doing a lot of trips around SE Asia over the next few years.  But I'm also planning a trip to Germany in the spring or early summer to visit my sister & niece.  I've never been to Europe before so I'm really excited about that.

    Wow, I haven't been around and I missed this.  What a fun move!

    Good luck on the baby, too. :)

  • I love reading everyone's plans!

    Nothing big for us.  We will take a summer adults only trip, probably to the Bahamas or Mexico, then a beach house trip with Georgia and skiing next winter.  Probably either moving or building on to our house.  All of my exciting stuff happened this year.
