A few updates

Wow, so i haven't touched this in a while but its still nice to look at my list and be able to at least mark some stuff as "in progress"

4. Get a Passport

 I filled out my paperwork last week for the passport, and just need to head downtown to drop it off. 

5. Go to Europe

Ian and I are planning a three week trip to Europe in the spring. Stops include Rome, Nice, Paris, England and Ireland to visit his family

19 GO on a ghost tour

I have friends coming in from college in October and this is one of things we are planning on doing. Chicago is a great city for a ghost tour so i'm super excited for this!

Things I can cross off my list

67 Update my resume and 95 apply for a job

Last week I came across what is ideally my dream job-activity director for an independent and assisted living senior living community.  I had an awesome interview with the Executive Director last week, and a decent phone interview with the corporate director. i'm really optimistic about this, and will keep you all updated on this!

Work in progress

Update on my 101/1001 project

Molly and I started therapy dog classes last week, and while we have a lot to do, we are making progress. I am signed up with Advocate hospice as a volunteer and start my training with them in July.

We adopted another dog!

Her name is Fiona!

She is gorgeous! She's a female red doberman puppy and so spunky! She's so different from Molly.

I've finished "My Fair Lazy" last month. Another great book by Jen Lancaster, and it made me want to do my own personal cultural renaissance. I have a list of new restaurants I want to try, plays I would like to see. Right now I am reading Beyond Reach by Karin Slaughter. Its interesting, but I think i'm going to make this reading one book a month non fiction. I can plow through a fiction book pretty quick and this is mind fluff.
