What's going well for you lately? Anything good to report... meet any goals, anything to brag about, or unexpected good surprises?
I know some of you saw my FB post about the student loans being paid off, I had actually sent the final check in early August but I guess they just got around to sending me that letter. I knew they were paid off, but getting a "congratulations" letter verifying it was pretty cool. One step closer to be being debt-free is always a good feeling!
Also, my mom's birthday is next week and usually I'm scrambling to get a gift for her last minute but this year I had already ordered something for her in July and am planning to get just a couple of small things to add to it this weekend. I feel ahead of the birthday-game this time, which is nice!
I am seriously loving life and having so much fun lately. And it's only going to get better as the year goes on since I have a lot of plans/trips that I am super excited about.
I posted this on SO last night ("I'm wicked proud of myself right now."):
So tonight was my first night of cornhole league, and I joined by myself. My team is 2 girls that work together, 2 guys that work together, me, and this random old dude who doesn't even drink but is super into these sports (like, he missed his dodgeball game to come to cornhole, but is probably 45-50 and not really the best fit for a "20's-30's professionals" league).
Aaaanyway, I end up telling one girl I was playing against that my friend was supposed to join me (theoretically true, but not actually) and I joined anyway because I'm getting divorced and blah blah blah (that's pretty much a quote, lol). And she was said, "please, hang out with our team (they all work together). We're all friendly!", etc. So I ended up basically befriending everyone on their team, played flip cup and beer pong, and traded #'s with one of the girls. My team is mostly cool too, but they all left before I did. I'm so happy I stayed, because I'm mostly introverted but overcame my initial instincts to be sociable.
Oh, and my team won! And I was actually a contributing factor toward the win. I also kicked ass at flip cup. #holla

I am cleared to walk, so getting out and walking around has been awesome! Life in general is awesome! And puppy snuggles, he has enjoyed me being home all the time!
