To Do Lists

There are so many things that are on my "To Do List" these days...

- Complete 1 chapter each week in my GRE study book
- Workout 3-4x/week
- Eat healthier
- Get started on that damn weight loss
- Spend more time reading literature/fiction
- Spend more time working on self reflection and growth (currently working on Mindfulness)
- Keep up with the Ladies Bible Study Book (Currently reading "The Best Yes" by Lysa Terkhurst; and yes, I'm already a week behind)
- Be better about flossing (yes; this is actually a goal)
- Work on keeping the house clean, organized, and simplified (lots of purge sessions!)
- Work on putting the cell phone away more often
- Work on being less reactionary (ie; be slower to become angry)
- GET TO THAT DANG WEDDING QUILT
- Be better at staying in touch with friends

LoL. Can you tell I'm a perfectionist and an over-achiever?

Short Life Update

....Two and a half months later....

Daniel and I have settled into a quiet routine that we are enjoying... There hasn't been a whole lot of excitement in our lives but I feel like now I have enough material to compose a post with a life update...

• We are looking forward to our first season ticket holder season of ECU Baseball! Games start next week, and our tickets will arrive on Monday.  We're excited to have season tickets and friends to enjoy the games with and relaxing but entertaining evening events to attend.  There is just something about baseball that we really enjoy.  I certainly don't know all the rules, but it is definitely a nice quiet relaxing way to spend the lovely spring evenings after work :)
• One of my aunts has made a huge life change and as a result, we are going to inherit some very beautiful furniture to furnish a home -- whenever we get a place of our own. Of course this means that we are going to have to now figure out if our storage unit is large enough to hold our old furniture plus the new furniture, but we'll tackle that on a warmer day.  We're just excited about the furniture we're getting!!!
• Daniel is continuing to make strides in his career and is continuing to aim for the position that he wants.  There hasn't been any movement yet, but we are continuing to be prayerful and faithful over the situation.  God has certainly instilled more hope and positivity about the situation than we have experienced yet, so I believe firmly that something good is going to happen soon.
• My career has not been looking very hopeful to change jobs to one more local.  The job market for my position has been incredibly sparse and disheartening. I'm continuing the hunt, but Daniel and I have pretty much come to the decision that it is probably time for me to go back to grad school and advance my degree to open new opportunities in my career (not to mention a pay raise).  So please cover me in prayers as we move forward with exploring this option... I am very nervous about it.

I told you things have been nice and quiet around here ;)  It's been nice to just kind of "be" with my husband and to settle into our lives.
