Happy New Year!  It’s time to write down my resolutions for 2010.  There are so many things I need and want to do.  This will probably be a rehash of my 1 Year Plan series (here and here) that I wrote a while back.  Here they are, in no particular order:

1.  Sky Diving – I plan on going sky diving for the first time this upcoming year.  Probably in mid Spring, so it’s not too cold or too warm.

2.  Passport – I’m not sure when I’ll be crossing any borders, but to do that, I need to have a passport.  I have the application all filled out, but I haven’t made an appointment at the post office to file it and get my photo taken.

3.  Bonus Room – Finish designing a bonus room above my garage.  This includes a home theatre and a wet bar.

4.  Sprinkler System – Install sprinklers in the front and back yards, so the grass doesn’t die again.

5.  Fitness – Get into shape and loose 35 pounds.

6.  Aquaria – Set up my 20 gallon aquarium.

I’ll keep you updated on my progress.

I turned 30 years old this past Friday, September 4th. I don’t feel any different, but it does make me think of the major accomplishments I’ve made in the last 10 years, and the things I want to accomplish in the next 10 years.

At the age of 27, I finally found a career (not just a job). At the age of 29, I bought my first house.

Those are great accomplishments, but what about the future?

I would like to have a family; a wife, at least two children. I’d also like to own a second home, and rent out the first home. And that’s just on the home front. There’s a ton of other things I’d like to accomplish.

I want to travel the world. I’d like to visit Rome, Vatican City, Greece, the UK. And that’s just the short list. I would like to do most of these thing in the next 10 years.

This week I’ll be putting in an application for a passport. I think I’ll get both the book and card. I’d like to start travelling next year, even if it’s just to Canada.

I guess I need to start writing a 1 year, 5 year, and 10 year plan, and try to stick with it.

What are your goals?
