First, I started my first semester of on campus college (still living at home though, last semester I did online). Such a fun experience and step into adulthood!
Making plans for a road trip to California with a few of my very closest friends (which is only 2 days away! HOLY COW AM I EXCITED! I'll be back with pictures and stories next week).
I also looked for a job only to come up with nothing...
I learned what I really want in a guy, and what I don't want.
I made new Personal Records in my fitness life (165 lbs deadlift, 205 squat, 30 lb bicep curl, and all around improved physique).
Got a job!
Graduated High school
A lot of goals reached and changes made for the good in my heart and life. God has bless the first 6 months of 2015! I am beyond excited for the next 6 months and what they hold ( a LOT of exciting things, one of which will be announced sometime at the end of July.) So now, I will fill you in on my 18 before 18 list and we'll see what has been accomplished!
1) Read my entire collection from Edgar Allan Poe
I haven't started yet, but I am planning on doing this over the fall when my family and I will be on the road for about 8 weeks!
2) Journal every single day
Doing pretty good, I haven't written in my journal in a few weeks however. But I am definitely doing this way more often!
3) Write a compilation of 12 stories.
I have a few ideas roaming around my head, we'll see what they amount to!
4) Be a successful blogger.
You tell me how this one is going!
5) Become an avid money saver.
Doing great at this one, saved enough for a road trip to San Diego! (and now saving for college...woohoo).
6) Become completely toned and fit, get my body fat under 20%
I'm at just over 20% currently. My goal is 18% by August 1st!
7) Teach myself to be ambidextrous.
I practice at work some times. It's pretty difficult...:(
8) Continue in my effort to make a difference, to never be indifferent, to be a helping caring person.
Work in progress.
9) To be completely clean for 12 months.
4 months and twenty days down!
10) Learn to speak German
I say various phrases and occasionally say things to my German friends in German. Still hoping to move to Germany and become fluent ;)
11) Bench press 135
Not very close, but I still have 6 months and 9 days to get there!
12) Write a 52 week devotional
Work in progress.
13) Practice being slow to speak and slow to wrath
Work in progress.
14)
Done! But now I'm going back to see the whole city of San Diego and not just the USMC Base!
15) Go to a WarHouse Gym camp and Meet Dana Linn Bailey.
No plans currently...we'll see!
16) Give my all in everything
Work in progress.
17) Actually compose something beautiful
