Trying to figure out a way to associate one type of content with another

Heres the situation:
I have two types of content that users can create: Goal and blog. In the goal content type, users can describe some type of goal they want to accomplish and then use the blog content type to write about the journey to accomplishing that goal. So basically when a user creates a blog entry, they need to specify what goal they are writing about.
I started to solve this problem but have reached a dead end. In the blog content type, I set up a 'node reference' field. Basically it creates a drop down list that the user can select from. The items in the drop down list are grabbed from a views block I created that displays only that users goals. So far so good -- each blog entry is related to a previously created goal.
But now I need to create a page that displays the goal and any entries about that goal. This is where I am running into trouble. I am trying to create a views block that displays the blog entrys for the current goal that is being displayed on the page. I'm guessing I need to pass arguments. IDK though, seems like I've started off on the wrong foot using the 'node reference' field. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
