It's been awhile since I've said anything here. I realized that I've been posting here for ten years, so I decided to republish some of the older posts from the past decade. It's crazy how much has changed and how much has stayed the same. I guess that's a fairly common realization but I'm still amazed none the less. I came here to document the big changes that have been going on just the last few months and some plans I have for the coming days, months and years. Instead I'll give you a reflection of the past, a flash of the present, and my hopeful projection for the future. Excuse the entirely narcissistic nature of this post as I won't be discussing much other than my immediate world. It is my blog after all.

Past and present...

• I guess the biggest change is that I'm single again, or as every form I fill out likes to point out, my marital status is divorced. I honestly couldn't be in a better place emotionally. 
• I've completed 2 Tough Mudders. I never would have thought I would be participating in anything 12 miles long that had obstacles involving ice water and electricity. 
• The munchkin isn't much of a munchkin anymore, she just turned 8 in January. She's an amazing person; She's smart, witty, tenacious, loves music, and is beautiful. 
• I had a great run at an amazing company over the last 3+ years but we parted ways in October. I'm still looking for my next "big thing".  
• My parents are retiring to Ecuador, within the next 12 months. Yes, I said Ecuador. I think I may be more excited than they are about this great big adventure.
• I still have massive time management issues. I'm still working on them. I'll still probably blog about it too. 
• I finally graduated from college, B.A Communication Arts (Advertising). Who saw that coming?
• Music is still a huge part of my world too. Listening mostly and occasionally still playing the guitar.

Future...

• I'm going back to college. I have a 6ish year plan that will result with me being a Registered Nurse Practitioner. It's going to be an interesting journey and I'm pretty psyched to get moving. Starting classes this summer, sooner if I work a couple of things out. 
• I've lost a lot of weight over the last few years. I have a few more pounds to go and a lot more endurance events I want to participate in.
• My friend Wes asked me a few years ago, "What big idea are you working on?". I didn't have an answer at the time. I'd lost my drive and vision for big ideas. I have a few in mind now Wes! Hopefully I'll be telling you all about them soon.

If you've made it this far, thank you.  I'm not sure how often I'll be posting and I've learned not to make a promise to do any better, but I'll be back.
