Dream Big or Go Home

There is so much I have planned for the next 2 years. With this new job it will allow me to do a lot more with my life than I had originally planned. I have so many ideas for trips I want to take, money to save for a house (and let me tell you the housing market is so good for someone like me, someone who is a first time buyer). Here is my agenda for the next two years:

- Buy a new car (I have to go used at first because of a new job I wont be able to finance a new car) Hopefully by springtime next year I will own a brand new car.
- Budget myself and open an account separately for a house(I am looking at about a year to maybe a bit more to be able to have enough saved up for a down-payment on either a house or condo)
- Take Ryan to Mardi Gras next year (this isn't necessarily very expensive, flights are pretty good and I have plenty places to stay while we are there)
- Head to Disney World with my 3 besties next May (I want to do one last hurrah for them before we all get too busy with work and marriages and future kids to be able to do this)
- I want to take a few weekend trips to D.C., Philly, and New York (This is definitely doable as I will be on the road a lot towards the end of this year, so I can definitely go away for the weekends

As a bonus I really want to attend the Olympics in London next year...that will depend on what happens this year. So I will keep that in the back of my mind as well.

I have firmly established that I will not be able to attend my graduation in July due to work. I can only take time off and not be paid as my paid holiday starts in September (go figure). So no London trip in July, though maybe Thanksgiving is an option, we will see.

Hopefully my really big priorities will work out in what will definitely be a very busy 2 years.
