This is perfect timing considering today I met with my new Head of Lower School to discuss my hopes and aspirations for my future in education.

Travel:  It’s no secret that I’ve been bitten by the travel bug hard (and most likely several times)!  A short-term goal that I have for my TpT business is to enable us to go on more trips.  I love traveling for the excitement of experiencing somewhere new, meeting new people, and trying new foods – but it also is what inspires me!  When I have a trip to look forward to I am so much more motivated!

Give Back:  I’m hoping to give back to my community in some way.  Whether it’s through volunteering, donating items/money/etc, or some other means, I would love to find a cause that rings close to my heart.

Student Loans:  Wouldn’t we all love to be done with student loans???  I didn’t pay for my bachelor’s (thank you Florida Bright Futures), but I did piddle around a bit with getting a second bachelor’s before getting my Master’s.  This has left me with a nice chunk of change that I owe…  Isn’t it sad that I pay almost double my car payment to student loans each month!?  I’m hoping that continued success with TpT will allow me to make a bigger dent, and pay off, my loans sooner!

Adopt: The mister and I have talked for a couple years now about adopting a little one.  We sold our previous house and moved to our current home a couple of months ago to get into a desirable school attendance zone and have done some home renovations in preparation.  This goal is a little more long term as we want to both pay off some more to our student loans before pursuing adoption, but we hope to adopt in the next 2 or 3 years.  If anyone has experiencing adopting, PLEASE contact me!  I’d love to pick your brain a bit on the process!
