I thought I would post a quick update since I haven't really been doing anything on my list lately because I'm preparing for Costa Rica! I leave on Monday, Matt is meeting me there the following Thursday. Super excited, and a lot of my list is going to be happening over the summer after I get back so stay tuned :)
One thing that wasn't on my list and I kind of debated about was doing some sort of organized run. I hate running. That's why it isn't on the list, but I live in the mecca of people who run marathons and half marathons and Hood to Coast, so I feel a little left out. After much harassment by my friend Kristin (I kid, she only harassed me like 3 times), I'm going to do a run at the end of September. Starting small with the 5K, don't want to get too crazy for a run-hater. I think it will be fun though, my other friend Lisa will be doing it also, and they spray paint you with different colors as you progress on the run. I am more excited by this aspect than the running.
The other update is my CPA license. I found out that I have to do some more work experience for one of the required competencies before Intel will accept my application, so it's going to be awhile longer. I still have a goal to submit my application this year, but I think it will be wishful thinking to get the official license from the Oregon Board in 2012. It's kind of a complex process, you have to get Intel approval and then Oregon State approval, so there's a lot of red tape and hoops to jump through.
I'll be sharing some pictures from Costa Rica!!
