  • In Idaho

    Well we made it to Idaho – only 4 1/2 hours left of driving and we don’t have to do that until Saturday. A day to relax and get some things done 🙂 – or just relax…

  • 2008 Goal Report

    Editor’s Note: This post was written yesterday, however we didn’t have internet in the hotel. Also, we realized this morning that we didn’t exercise yesterday… Ok, I know what your thinking… its only been 1 day… but I’ve decided if I’m going to be accountable for these things I need to report some. So far…

  • Happy New Year!

    Now its time to look back on the last year, reflect on what went well, and make goals for the next year. Kristine and I drove across the county for Christmas, and it has given me a lot of time in the last couple of weeks to think about things. Last night the announcers on…

  • How Good to Feel Good

    Well, ok, I’m still not better. Even as I sit here my throat is still a bit sore, and I’m still a bit stuffy. But for a brief glimpse this morning, as I woke up when my alarm went off, I actually felt ok. I woke up and I though “WOW! I can breath! And…

  • The Value of Encouragement

    After running last night, and the effects that it caused (coughing for hours…) I decided today that I wasn’t going to go running. I decided that I would do some pushups or situps for my exercising today. Besides, my lungs and legs need a chance to get back in shape. Well time went by, and…

  • I am out of shape!

    Well… It’s official… I am in the WORST shape of my life… I just turned 25, and I can’t even run a mile… The worst part about this, and probably the hardest part of me getting back into shape is that in High School I ran cross country (sometimes 14 miles for practice in about…

  • Exercise Calendar

    Ok. I’ve been saying for weeks now that I’m going to start exercising. I just haven’t been able to get myself to do it… It has actually been really easy to put it off with school, work, and then getting sick. We have a trip in a week and a half, and I kept telling…

  • Free Voicemail!

    About 6 months ago, I signed up with a free voicemail service called Private Phone. It was great. They gave me a free local phone number I could give out as my business line, and I got emails every time I got a message. This week however, I learned that they will be discontinuing service…

  • “Thank You” for a break!

    Well this week is thanksgiving break. Finally! It turns out things were even better. I don’t have any classes this week. I do have to work today, and I do have to go on a trip tomorrow morning for my senior project, but overall these two days will be relaxing. The other great thing that…

  • mint.com – Refreshing Money Management

    Last week I setup an account at Mint.com. The site is to be used as a “dashboard” for all of your finances. How it works is you first create a free account. You then log in and add a bank account to their interface. This involves giving them the name/url of the bank or credit…
