ummmm…
well… i’ve wanted to update my website for about five days now but every time i get myself in front of the computer i draw a blank. sometimes it is the most difficult thing in the world for me to think of something to write. i don’t always want to talk about what is going on in my life; i’d like to record my thoughts, ideas, philosophies and passions… there just don’t seem to be many of those floating around right now. so since i have nothing terribly interesting to say, i guess i’ll just get back to what’s up in my life.
there are two things going on right now that i have been pretty excited about recently.
first - financial peace university:
though our church and with our community group kris and i have had the opportunity to go through dave ramsey’s ‘financial peace university.’ it is basically a class that couples (and single people) go through in order to learn how to manage their money, limit their spending, learn basic and advanced financial principles and build wealth. dave is a very smart guy and has taught kris and i so much in only three sessions! we are so lucky to be able to take part in something like this, that will teach us so much, at such a young age! i really know that many of these principles that we are learning will help us throughout our entire financial life.
second - swimming:
i joined the local ymca last week and took my first swim in over six months. it felt so good - the smell of the chlorine, the feel of the heated water, the struggle for air stroke after stroke… i didn’t know how much i missed it until i actually went! i absolutely love swimming and i wish i had time to do it more that twice a week. joining the y and being forced to go twice a week (class requirement) will help me regain my active, athletic lifestyle and help me keep my body at a good fitness level. i always feel pretty good after i work out and can’t wait to get back into that pool!
like i said… i really didn’t have anything too interesting to talk about. maybe i’ll have some sort of revelation this week in school and post it here. keep those eyes peeled kids!
