And 4 months later...

Wow! It has been a LONG time since I last posted anything on this blog... Whoops!

I actually have not yet looked over my goals, so I am not sure how many I can update, but I am hoping for a few! Lemme look.

Here are my updates!

20. Finally get my customized skateboard. -- I just actually finished building this tonight. And tested it out, regardless of the fact that it is still winter in Minnesota. And it is BEAUTIFUL! I have wanted this skateboard for about two years. I justified spending the money on it with my tax return. I am happy with it. Now I can skateboard, longboard, and bike to work! Wahoo!
35. Successfully win one video game. Ever. -- Christmas break with my family helped me complete this goal. It was a lot of fun. Maybe someday I will buy a gaming system again...
64. Give up soda for a month. -- I wish that I could just give up soda for good, but it is so so good! But I am proud of myself for giving it up for a month. Phfff.
94. Pay back loans, credit cards, family and friends. -- I still owe a few people, but should be able to take care of that soon. My bankruptcy is pretty much complete. I had my meeting with creditors last week, and my lawyer told me that I am practically finished. That's a big relief. I am very fortunate to have this out of the way. And very thankful.
95. Have all the surgeries that I need on my joints. -- Please, let me say that this goal is complete! I had my last knee surgery in November. I have been very diligent about recovery, and am hoping to just be a healthy Josh from now on.

There are quite a few goals that I am nearly complete on. I have been going to the gym nearly everyday. It hasn't been in the morning, I think everyone knows I am not a morning person, but going at night is still good. I am hoping to be able to play baseball on one of the summer adult leagues here in Mankato. Oh, I would love that! I have been painting a lot more recently too...still haven't taken a class yet, but have an open mind towards it. :-)

Life has been different lately, but...it just keeps moving along. I just have to choose to move along with it.

Here are some pictures of my new skateboard.
