Goals I set in the past 4 years that we accomplished:

1. Achieve Senior Director, own a SUV--2004 Ford black Expedition with leather heated seats, DVD player, walk the stage at convention in 2004 and go to Idaho Falls, Idaho for Road to Executive in July 2004 (company pays for you and spouse to go there and they treat you like royalty and pay for everything including a white water rafting trip) when get to SD. (made that decision at convention in 2003 as a Director 4--my first convention).

2. Achieve Executive Director (May 2006) (set that goal at Road to
Executive)

3. Give children a stay at home dad and mom. Retire Todd home from Sprint (set that goal after got to Senior Director. It was a dream in my heart since August 1997 when we had our first baby)--achieved in August, 2006.

4. Take family on Company cruise (March 2006). Set that goal when heard about it in May 2005--made deposit and got brochures with pictures and developed plan for how I could get our company to pay for most of it.

5. Take children to DisneyWorld--achieved Dec. 2006 (set that goal after got to Director 2).

6. Todd farm some property--going to Africa to do this in March 2007 (set that goal in October 2004).

7. Build our dream house--Todd do a lot of the work and me decorate it and have the finances to do it how I want to and get training to do it more professionally. (set this goal in January 2005, started with blueprints and then searched for land and started to build in August of that year. In May of 2005 I flew to Dallas for design school)

8. Go to Sybaris with Todd for a getaway weekend. (made this goal Summer of 2003 and I got on the website http://www.blogger.com/www.sybaris.com and requested to get on mailing list so every couple of months I got postcards with photos and discounts that kept that in front of me. It was the best time of our 10 years of marriage together and incredibly AWESOME!! It gave us the vision to create one of those as a ministry to marriages.)

9. Take girls to American Girl place in Chicago, ILL. Did that in fall of 2003—had a special tea party, bought them each a doll and made some of the best memories. Elisabeth said, “Mommy, thank you so much--that was the best time I ever had with you” I felt soo good!!
