It has been a little while since I have been able to sit down and "blog" about our little life. Many people start the new year old with goals to achieve. I have contemplated goals many times in my head and came up with the idea just to set a monthly goal and try to achieve that. However, my goal for the year is just to survive. Between, being a mom, wife, employee, and student, my life becomes so over whelming sometimes just trying to stay caught up. Last Fall, I chose to go back to school not only to better myself but mainly for my family. Jake loves to teach but unfortunately teachers are not paid a lot but on the up, they do get a lot of time off work. I want him to be able to continue to teach and for our children to have things, so I am being pro-active and back in school. When Christopher goes to school, I can leave FedEx working nights and work during the day, making a larger salary as well. Over ten years ago, when Jake and I were married, I decided I will do what it takes to help provide for us...then babies began to come along and the determination was stronger. So, my overall goal is just to survive. Now, the month of January, I am working hard on not raising my voice at my sweets and this goal will continue into February as well. Likewise, I am encouraging the kids not raise their voices at one another. I want our home to one of peace and loving words.
We also have set a goal to being looking for another home this year. We are getting closer to becoming consumer debt free (only having house and school loans) and will try to get in another home for our little family, so we will see how that goes.
