Plans for the next step

It feels good going back to full time work, all settled in our new home and get back to same routine everyday.

Now that a big chapter of my life has begin, I wonder what the next step is.

We don't plan to have a family just yet, we want to see what the next few years hold for us first, whether we are going to stay in Whangarei, go back to Auckland, or move to New Plymouth.

We are also trying to pay off our mortgage as soon as possible, hopefully get another property before we start a family. That way, even if I take a few years off work to raise my family we are financially secure with assets and have investments on hand. However, these are just a plan, life is full of surprises, who knows what life has in hand for us next.

Our house in Auckland has successfully been rented out, that's another task ticked off. Our property manager did a good job finding us a tenant, and we found them within 1 week of advertising, feels good to know that things are going to plan smoothly.

I still want to try to have my first baby before i turn 30. I have 3 years and a bit to do that, will we be ready then? And when I do get pregnant, I want to be a full time mum and raise my kids myself with minimum help from other means (day care/parents).

As for my career, I will eventually get back into full time work when my kids are older. And then the focus will be to get my own pharmacy business and be my own boss.
Plans plans plans.. I wonder if my life will turn out how I want it to be, I shall read this again in 10 years time and compare :)

Oh, and I am going to get a goldendoodle as a family dog to grow up with my kids! :)
