NWR Life Plans
I saw this over on the E board and thought it would be fun to do here.
Post what you're life was like in 2010, what you accomplished, what major things happened (good or bad), etc (got married/engaged, had baby, bought house, etc)
And then post what your life plans are for 2011! (get married? go back to school, buy dog,etc)
Let's see what all of us have planned for the coming new year

Re: NWR Life Plans
2010: Lots of things happened for me this year, it was a year of events thats for sure! I graduated undergrad in May, moved in with the FI for the first time in August and then started law school in August, quit my job of 4 years (for law school...which felt amazing!), got engaged in Sept, got a puppy in August, and now am trying to finish up my first semester of law school!
2011: Hoping to finish my first year of law school with good grades!!!, try to get back on a normal exercise regimen, watch my little girls that I teach dance in their recital in May, hoping to get a good (law related) job for the summer and beyond during school, and hopefully plan the majority of my wedding for Jan 2012!
2011 will bring a few more life changes...getting married and hopefully before the new year...a bundle of joy growing in my belly. We don't want to wait @ all so we are hoping to get pregnant not too long after the wedding.
Yaaa for an incredible 2010 and an even better 2011

Here here on the incredible 2011 front! And that's exciting that you are gonna try for a baby too :) If I wasn't in school I'd definitely want to try for a baby but I know it's better to wait! ;)
2010: FI & I FINALLY picked a date for the wedding, & let me tell you after a 4 year engagement, I was really excited!! FI got his Law Enforcement degree, which means we're closer to where we'd like to be in our lives!
2011: Getting married - Can't wait for that day!! Hoping to finally move out of my parents house, where FI & I live, & get a house of our own. If this could happen before the wedding that would be amazing! Keeping fingers crossed that FI can find a cop job somewhat close to family & my current job. (He's got an interview with Anoka County on Thursday!) = ) And depending on the house thing, possibly getting a dog!
Here's to an amazing 2011!! = )

Thanks. Yes...if either one of us were still in school it would be a different story. We feel ready...but just not before the wedding. We have house, dog, established jobs, etc. Bring on the new changes...so excited for our wedding :)
2010 - FI and I got engaged in February --got a new car in April (I've never had a "nice" car...only beaters) I paid off a lot of debt! We took our first vacation together to Tennessee....started the wedding planning process and became a Tastefully Simple consultant.
2011- Get MARRIED! First though, I have another friend getting married in March who got engaged 2 hours after we did. My MOH is due to have a baby in May...so lots of showers will be happening this spring. Hopefully towards the end of 2011 we will start the house hunting process and I'll have more debt paid off. 2011 is going to be great!
