Quick Update...

Just a quick update on the progress toward the goals I set for myself this year...

Myrtle Beach Marathon- February 18, 2011  Completed

National Board Certification information due- March 31, 2011  Completed the portfolio entries, but not feeling confident about it...took the assessment portion last Thursday and did not prepare at all.  Procrastination got the best of me on this one.  The official word won't be out until November, but I feel sure I'll be going for round two next year. But a few extra prayers would be nice...

Take the GRE (ugh)- Sometime before March 31, 2011 Completed...and hated every second of it!

Apply to Columbia International for Masters of Arts in Counseling- Applications due March 31, 2011 Completed, but not accepted.  Long story, crappy situation...but bottom line...being divorced for only a year kept me from getting accepted to the program.  So what now?

Pay off debt- Before August 1, 2011 Still working on this one...slow and steady

Buy a house- Sometime in the next year Became very discouraged about this one after my first couple offers were not accepted, stopped looking for a while, seller called a month and a half later to say she would accept my last offer.  The loan closing process has been everything but smooth and exciting, but I sealed the deal and am officially a homeowner.  So excited to start making it my own:)

Mud Run- April 2011 Completed (I admit to being the weakest link, didn't keep up the running like I should have after the marathons) Looking forward to being a little stronger in October!

Get more involved at church and in the community Still have a lot more to do and a lot more to learn!

Remain single (and date free) for a year (October 21, 2011-October 21, 2012) Yeah, um..about that...I wish I could just backspace over this last goal and pretend like I had never made it, but here it sits.  For now, let's just say...it's complicated, in an absolutely uncomplicated way.
