2013 Goals and Updates

Like last year, I've decided to make a list of goals/things to accomplish during the year instead of having a New Year's Resolution.

1)  Read my Bible daily (following a plan in my Nook)
2) Complete my first ultramarathon.
3) Manage my finances better.
    ~Write down monthly budget/expenses.
    ~Find a way/ways to make more income.
4) Finish most of my wedding planning.


I also have a few updates since I haven't blogged in a while.  I'm a slacker, I know.  :-p  I won't be anymore though, for real!

      First, I've officially registered for my ultramarathon!  It's a 50k in Nashville, Indiana called Dances with Dirt Gnaw Bone.  It's part of a race series (Dances with Dirt).  I'm super excited to take this next step in running and join the community of some of the most badass people ever: the ultrarunning community!

     I didn't have luck with the process of getting into physical therapy school for next year, so I'll be taking a year off of school altogether.  I'm actually kind of relieved: a year without the daily grind of studying, doing homework assignment after homework assignment may be exactly what I needed anyway.   I am ridiculously burnt out on school and in need of time to regroup.

     In August, I got another job within OU Outdoor Pursuits as the Rental Center Manager.  Basically, I'm in charge of daily operations of the OUOP rental center where we rent out camping gear, I help training new employees, and attend weekly OUOP manager meetings.  I'm still looking for a job as a personal trainer and currently working on a First Aid/CPR/AED instructor certifications.  Yay for another certification!

     I know it's already March, but I'm looking forward to the exciting opportunities that 2013 has yet to bring and hope that I can finally figure out what exactly I'm supposed to be doing with my life.
