"Sippin and Painting" One of the goals Lyssa had for me was to take a painting course. When Lyssa first told me about this I was scared to death. I'm serious folks..scared to death. I hate art. I can not stand it. It's probably because I don't understand it, but nonetheless, I hate it. Thank... Continue Reading →
2013 Memorable Moments
There's still a couple more days before we share our 2014 goals with each other. This year has been exceptionally difficult for us to keep quiet until the night of 12/31. In addition to our yearly goals, which made for amazing memories, we did a few other eventful things this year. Here are some of... Continue Reading →
Drink Alone in a Bar One Night
October 29th. A man, a bar, and alcohol. If you've never experienced drinking alone in a bar, you should really consider it. When I was younger, I saw a bunch of movies (which I'm sure you all did as well) that had people drinking alone at the bar. I thought it was so cool. Alcohol,... Continue Reading →
Some of my Failures for 2013
Goal #1. Change the name of Stonewall Jackson. To be fair, I didn't really fail this one. I created a petition online to start this process but my parents talked me down from this. They thought it could get me in trouble...blah blah blah. Goal #5. Be in a wrestling ring. My whole life... Continue Reading →
Sing in a Choir
I've been singing my whole life. Not necessarily well but singing nonetheless. From elementary school chorus all the way through High School Show Choirs I've been there..singing. I woke up one day last year and realized I missed singing. I'm not talking about singing in the shower, I'm talking about singing with a group of... Continue Reading →
Run a 5K
I was physically ready to run the "Run With Santa 5K" in Reston on December 8th, which I signed up to complete with my dad. By the time December 7th came, I had spent the previous four weeks running four times a week, proudly going from barely being able to run a mile to running... Continue Reading →
Volunteer at a Hospital
I interviewed, got my flu shot, and passed the TB test. I am officially a hospital volunteer -- the front desk greeter, as a matter of fact. Unlike my other volunteering commitments, there are a lot of policies for this one. No surprise, but I've worked in such loosey-goosey work environments for the past decade,... Continue Reading →
No Makeup For Five Days
When we shared our goals last December 31st, I was extremely anxious about one of Kris' challenges for me -- wear no makeup to work for five days. I thought the one day I added as a 2013 goal was bad enough. However, this experiment has been one of the most empowering things I've ever... Continue Reading →
Master Photography
All I need in this life of sin, is me and my Nikon. Sooooooo this is a very subjective goal but I've mastered photography to my satisfaction. This picture isn't an example of my photography but I wanted to show you my hat for my camera 🙂 A couple years back, Lyssa and I bought... Continue Reading →
