Deployment Goals

We are starting to see the light at the end of the deployment tunnel and I thought I would revisit my Visualization Board. I have just loved seeing things on my board, come to a reality! First, I had just applied to USC Masters in Social Work Program, and a few weeks later I got my acceptance letter and am half way through my semester! I didn't however get the Pat Tillman Scholarship I had hoped for, but I should have the Post 9/11 GI Bill transferred this month. My blog has just exploded and I have been on a few other military wives pages. My daily hits have sky rocketed and I have had a handful of sponsors and products to review or given to me. I would still like to see this grow. I started looking back at my book that I had started. I still have plans to work on that! As for exercise and diet, I have not been consistent. I have started running and I lift weights occasionally. I am doing a mud run with my marine wife friends in a few weeks. My kids seem to be happy and healthy. I have seen them all grow up so much during this deployment. I am working on getting our Mexico vacation planned and am working on the saving money and paying of debts plan. (I have to stop having tires explode on me first! ) The biggest growth has been with my faith. I made a huge jump to go to a totally different church. I have never felt so excited about my faith and love that my kids are also excited! I can't wait to share this with AJ!

Deployment Bucket List

At the start of our journey, I sat down and created a Deployment Bucket List. A way for me to set goals for myself and give me something positive to focus on. I sat down today and realized I have accomplished or am working on more of my list then I thought. I also added my Deployment Visualization Board that I am working on right now. I have a poster board one in my room, but this one I made in Picassa. What would you have on your Deployment Bucket List? My kids and I also created a Deployment Fun List, that we get to mark off when we are just feeling blah. I plan to take pictures of us doing all the fun things to share with my husband when he returns.  You can print a copy by right clicking on my printable section.
