BIG plans for the New Year!

So i have thought about it, and i mean really thought about it.  My life that is....  Where is it going? Which direction am i going?  Are these the right choices im making?  Where do my priority's lie? What motivates me?  These just some of the million questions that have been floating around in my head for the last month.  I feel like i have reach a critical point in my life where i need to choose the path i want to follow.  And of course i want to make sure Adam is on board with all my decisions im planning to make.  He is and has always been so supportive on me.  I couldn't ask for a better husband and best friend.  He really is my everything,  we do have ups and downs just like every other married couple but i still feel in love with him as the first day i met him. :)  Which is what brings me to my next decision.  Its time for us to get a move on this family thing :)  
I have decided that school isnt right for me right now.  As much as i would love to go back to school, i would love even more to have a family.   So i guess that answers a few of my questions on what motivates me.  I feel if i went to school i couldn't give my undivided attention to starting the family process.  Of course this process wont be how people usually start a family because me and Adam are going to adopt through foster.  I have decided that im done with the fertility treatments, they are very costly and there's not a 100% guarantee, Not even a 50%.  I still will pursee my weight loss and hope Adam will get healthy right along with me, and maybe then God will deiced to bless us with another child.  But all the same whether its natural or adopted the love will still be the same for it because i want a large family. I still got to work on Adam about that one,lol.  
We do have a long list of todo's before this happens, which i will blog about when the time is right.  Yall know im not a secretive person,lol  Just trying to get a few things balanced and together first.  But i want this to be me and Adams last Christmas childless.  
I know it will be hard going through fostering the kids till we get one that we can adopt, but i really believe this is the direction that were supposed to go.  I feel very strongly about it.  So we may have a few broken hearts along the way but it will be worth it in the end.
 So anyways that's the big changes we have planned for this year.

Putting your fears aside

So the more i think about going to school for the ichthyology or zoology, the more i really want to purse it.  I realize that I'm a not a "smart" person in a few areas.  But after talking with a few people about this i think i can totally give it a go.  I'm not saying i wont be horrible and flunk out of college, but if i can get it paid for why not try.  I don't want to have any regrets of things i wish i would have done.  Because right now i have tons of them.  I don't want my life to be full of wishes.  I feel its time to start taking action.  So I'm going to do my research, and find out what schools provide what i need, and tutoring and all that good stuff.  I have a learning disability when it comes to math, which that's always been the stopper for me.  I HATE math, and going into such a scientific field, well that scares me.  But i need to start facing my fears, and give it my best shot.  If i cant hack it,  well at least i will know that i tried.  What is meant to be will be....  A journey of a thousand miles starts with one step....  So i will be taking mine this fall hopefully

Dream Chaser

"If you're going to be thinking, you may as well think big." Donald Trump 

Some days i just wake up with ideals in my head, well the ideals have always been there.  Its weird i guess how my mind thinks.  I go along fine, and then i get a pull that i cant ignore.  I cant even describe how it feels.  I guess its the need for change.  And it doesn't come on slowly with me, its always like a strong crash that i cant ignore, and nothing triggers it.  I just wake up and it happens.   Maybe its something bigger inside of you desiring more then your giving.  I'm not sure what to even call it, so ill just call it the dream.  I think all people have them.  But what defines you is where will your dreams take you?  Will you change them into reality?  I honestly think when people set there mind to do something, resources or not if you want it bad enough it will be done.   Not knowing what you want is where alot of people get stuck.  I have the opposite, i know what i want.  My fear is failing or succeeding, sometimes its hard for me to tell them apart.  Because every failure, is one step closer to success.  It probably sounds like I'm talking in circles, but I'm sure there is some people that understand what i mean.  
Its scary going after what you want.  I wish i could rewind time, but that cant be done.  (yet) lol j/k 
Basically what I'm getting at is i want a life change.  I want to live near a ocean, work at a aquarium or zoo.  Something is the marine biology, or zoology field.  Those who know me,  know i love doing hair, and makeup. But i also LOVE animals!!  Ever since i was little i would go to the zoo, and say that i wanted to work there.  I also have a shark obsession, yes its weird i know.  I'm kinda a  nerd, well when it comes to animals anyways. 
I just don't know how to get from where I'm at now to where i want to be?  I'm pretty good at ignoring obstacles,lol  But well money is a pretty big one.  I know i could do the science and biology, but the thought of math scares me beyond belief.  i have problem with grade school math,lol.    Its not that i think I'm dumb, going by my grades in school i kinda always just excepted that.  But the truth is i hated high school, and i didn't study or do my homework.   So that's not really a good comparison.   If your reading this and i do your hair don't freak out,lol  were talking like a good 5 yrs before even considering a career change ;)  
I just had to get this off my mind, and any advise you have on grants, aid, info, would be appreciated.  I don't even know where to Begin,  but i do know all the good things in life started with a dream.
