S/O Where do you want to be a year from today?

[bunnysmom]

After reading the other thread, I thought it would be fun to imagine where all of us will be next year.

Where do you hope/expect/plan to be a year from now? what are your hopes? do you have a plan to reach those goals?

This time next year I really really hope to have started or to be about to start a new exciting career path. I want to feel confident in my decisions and to be more happier with myself in general.

Also, I would like to be planning a new trip or, better yet, to be already travelling by then!

[gogreengowhite]

At a different job that I love (alright fine I'll take like right now)

Having fun raising my kids

Not letting the day to day drag is down

[jlt19]

My husband to be one year and 2 months smoke free and not be a complete ass on the days he forgets to change his patch.

It'd be nice if my DS has grown out of some of his allergies, but I have no real hope that will happen in one year.

Other than that, I'm good with where life is.

In a new job role, pregnant with child #2

[lya]

One year from today I hope I will have finished my PhD and will be settling into a non-academic job making loads of money.

[my4girls]

I am pretty happy with the status quo right now with most things in my life. I love my job, we're done having kids, we're in our forever home, so next year I just hope to be in as good a place as we are this year. Hopefully planning a family vacation since it's not in the cards this year, enjoying our kids. being 40 pounds lighter wouldn't hurt

[twodogsandababy]

A year from now we will have become comfortable with our lottery winnings and have them invested/set up so we can just relax.


Reality might be a little different. We will have two DS's and our to dogs and be done building our family. H will be out of the Navy and hopefully have a good civilian job. Hopefully we will be working towards our goals of paying off our condo and paying down our house so we can save up to build in a few years. And we will have lost some weight.

[HoneySpider]

I want to have moved and be pregnant/have a child

Same place I wanted to be now. Sigh.

[emilyinchile]

Apparently 1 year from now I'll be in Santiago having drinks with @sfgal530 - or maybe over in BA with her and bunnysmom?

Honestly, I think I would like to be pretty much in the same place. A bit more than a year from now I might want to be moving back to CA (although putting a definite timeframe on that is scary!), but I like my job, like where we live and don't want kids yet, so I'd be happy if none of the big things changed by Feb. 2015.

ETA: Of course as soon as I posted I thought of something! I'd like to be at a level to try to qualify for the Crossfit Regionals on a team. Even if my box doesn't get a team together, or our team isn't good enough in the end, my goal for myself is to be at that level of strength and fitness where it's not a pipe dream.

To be in a new job or on a path toward a new job, to be back in WI or on our way to being back in WI, my husband to be 18 months cancer free and hopefully be back on a path to being healthy.

Maybe have a baby or be content with the decision not to.

Mainly to be happy and healthy whatever the circumstances are.

That sounds great, I can't wait! But I hope that you also can come earlier this year!

100 lbs lighter...really
A few projects finished on my house (front yard, painting, kitchen mini remodel).
Planning a fun family vacation that doesn't involve going with ILs or seeing my family...lol.

[Awkward]

A year from now I will be less than one month away from getting married! That's some scary prespective, lol. I hope at this point I'm just pulling things together and organizing things like boxes of centerpieces. Hopefully nothing major left to do.

Otherwise I hope to be within the same company but in a better position, with a great apartment, and a newer car. I don't want much, I just want it all. (hot)

[macmars45]

This time next year I want:

-to be pregnant
-be a 2 car family
-be involved in a new church community

I will be living in a new city (we move mid March-early April); I'm SO excited!

[Deleted]

I really need to figure this out. Anyone want to tell me where I should be going in a year? So far I'm just enjoying life. I'd like to move out of this area, maybe Texas or Oklahoma? But, I'm not in a hurry to do so. I can't see myself in a serious relationship, even a year from now. Job wise, I'm not sure, I'm guessing I'll still be where I am, but this is the main thing I need to figure out. In a year I'd like to be competing in archery at the national level, I think I can do it.

[mlvmd]

Finishing up a basement remodel.
Having decided on whether a DC2 is something I want and if so be pregnant with that decision.
Less stress at work. I love my job but I've been covering for an acting position and now that that is done I'm still doing that job and I need to not be doing that and my regular job and covering for two people that have left and they are not hiring for since we are in a hiring freeze.

[Deleted]

I hope to have a new position in my company and a baby or be pregnant.

We'll see how all that goes.

[Kore]

I'm thinking about it. Everything is so in limbo right now. A week ago, I was ready to DTMFA. Over the past few days, I've started to check back into my marriage.

We shall see.

I either want to be happily married or happily divorced a year from now. Today, I'm leaning more towards married.

[sometimesrunner]

I hope to be pregnant and have a well behaved almost 3 year old. (not holding my breath on the well behaved part)

[crashgizmo]

Like others, I don't think we'll have a huge "milestone" in a year, since we just moved states and are definitely staying in this rental until July of 2015. I would like to either have a FT job at the company I am currently consulting with, or that I am still consulting and have several new clients.

Life wise, we want to grow our retirement savings, take at least one international trip, and socialize our dog more so we can take him out in public.

[insominac]

I just hope doggy insom and everyone in my family is still in good health. If I can have that, I can handle anything else.

[lb2006]

enjoying our renovated house and hopefully hearing from our adoption agency about a referral!

[rbp]

Same place I am today--at work.

Except when I go home from work, instead of picking up my dog from doggy daycare, I'll pick up my baby from baby daycare

(We're not getting rid of the dog! He just only goes to daycare occasionally and today is one of those days.)

Professionally, I'd like to have a research project fleshed out that I will work on until I go up for tenure. And continue to improve my teaching evaluations.

[imojoebunny]

Eating bon bons. By then my kids will be in school full time, and we should be moved to a new, less work house, with more space. I should have some time for Bon bons. I am forbidding myself to even volunteer for room mom anywhere, and have vowed not to end up on any foundation or fundraising boards. I want to be board enough to do some projects around the house, go for a walk, and cook dinner every night, something that doesn't come in a box from TJ's.

[Deleted]

I hope absolutely nothing changes. Well, I'd take a promotion at work. Otherwise I just want things to stay as they are.

[mskitkat]

A year from now, I'd like to be settled into our first house and pregnant with our first child. It's going to be a busy year, one way or another.

[tacom]

I hope to be working, which will be a big change for me. Weekends! Evenings! Money!

Other than that, I hope most things stay the same. I want to be healthy, living with FI, and planning our wedding.

[winnied]

A year from now I'd like to have taken several more trips, hopefully to Chicago and CA. I'd also like to be in the next level of my department, which I think is reasonable. Hopefully H will be almost finished with his phd and applying for jobs.

[heygrey]

i hope i'll have found a way to supplement our HHI enough to SAH.

[h]

Bali?

Honestly, I would be happy if not much changed. We have all the babies we plan to have, we live in the house we plan to stay in long term, and I have a really good work-life balance. I would like to be done with home renovations, have the house more organized, be getting more sleep, and get in a better workout routine and ditch the last 5 pounds of baby weight. Other than that, I am good with KOKO.
