As another year is almost over, we naturally reflect on the previous year and look forward to the next. I just completed my Enlisted to AFIT package, which if I am selected would mean a move to Ohio in August or September of 2012 for at least 18 months. Very exciting!
We ran a half marathon this year, then saw our fitness go to crap, and now we try to build back up to do another one or more this year. One thing is for certain - we have no doubt that 2012 will be better than 2011 - b
One of the biggest events on the calendar for us, "The Game" between Michigan and Ohio State, was played yesterday with Michigan the winner for the first time since 2003, and only the third time (out of 11 tries) since Kelley and I started dating. This game puts me in a tough position every year. I want my team to win very badly, but I hate seeing Kelley so upset. It has been so long since we won that I cannot remember how long she was upset about it back in 2003 before things got back to normal
I thought I wanted a master's degree, but I was not willing to put in the effort it took to get it. My job is quite demanding at times. For example, I worked 50 hours this week. School does not gel. Time is so precious. There will be more things to do than time allows. I must make the best choice for me. It does not include school.
Kelley completed her second graduate course. It was not pretty. I will make sure to not let any other course go through such torturous nights. I have one week to recoup before I begin Managerial Technology. I am quite interested as to what the paper topic will be. Let's hope for the best.
DJ and I are back from our vacation to Ohio. The first week back was a challenge. It is a challenge to get back to normal. I do not necessarily want to return to normal, but better than that. I am a woman of high standards. I have high goals. I do not handle it well when I fall short. My focus right now is to keep challenging myself to reach my weight loss goal and finish a 16 page research paper for my International Business course. I can do this! I am certainly feeling the pressure.
I am in my third week of my first course at Liberty University Online. I tried this graduate program deal last year and gave up during the third week. I CANNOT do that again. It cost us some money and headache. I am working on an annotated bibliography for my 16 page research paper due in 5 weeks. I CAN DO THIS! Lots of prayer and dedication will get me over this hurdle. What does not kill me only makes me stronger. I am my own worst enemy. I am not good with gray areas. There is no one correct
I finally got around to updating the video section to be like the new photo photo section! Now I can upload videos and categorize them automatically. I also make a new header and simplified the columns on the main page. The Tweet column is now the Quick Blurb column and will contain other short updates.
The biggest news is that our half marathon/mini vacation is only 5 weeks away. We ran 8 miles yesterday and will increase that by 1 mile each week until the race. Our goal is just to finish without walking. It will be a challenge, but I know we can do it.
Work continues to be work, with all it little stresses and drama for the both of us. We are thankful we have jobs and we know it could be much worse. We have not done much in the weight loss area, but we know we are getting in bett
Kelley are I are going to the drive in tomorrow night to see Captain America and Transformers 3 - we'll have to get there early, but it should be a good time. We just got a new stove, and need a new printer, screen door, and various other house fixes - our house is falling apart! Not really, but it is frustrating to have it all come at once.
We are still on track to do our first half marathon on September 17th in Dayton, Ohio. We are excited! We are working our tails off to get read
Last weekedn Kelley and I went went to Carowinds, an amusement park in South Carolina, where Rock the Park, a Christian concert, was taking place. We had a good, albeit tiring, time. It took several days for us to get back to normal, but we are back on track.
I lost 2 pounds this week to reach my all-time low of 179! We continue to hit the workouts hard in preparation for our first (and maybe only) half marathon in September. Also, I am heading home to TC this Sunday for 4 days for
