January 2012

So I'm a few days (ahem, week) late. Sorry guys! Here's what I've accomplished so far:

16. Bought a computer - a Samsung laptop for graduate school, because...
14. ...I got into business school! I'm going to BYU in the fall to get my MBA. Wahoo!
56. Go on a couples date once a month. This month, I can say that we went out to dinner with my brother and his girlfriend. My mom was there too, but I'm going to count it anyway. :)

So it's a slow start...but I'll get there!
