How I did it
It made me
Happy 
How I did it: I created a Flickr account before I left. While I was there, I took pictures. It took me a few days to get them up when I got home, because I had to catch up on stuff for school. Finally got them uploaded and linked to my profile here. I even uploaded a video of penguins from the aquarium. You can read about my trip on my new blog at http://randomthoughtsfrombrad.blogspot.com/. Read how I did it…
It made me
Creative
How I did it: I downloaded images off the web that I wanted to combine in to my personal crest. After I had the downloads, I sized them and roughly organized them through Paint. I then printed it out and went to work with tracing paper. I drew it in pencil that way it was easy to fix any mistakes. I scanned it back in after I was done. Read how I did it…
It made me
Complete
How I did it: I went down the list and typed out a brief description of the goal or why I wanted to do it. I realized that some of my goals are more longterm, but that is fine. I had plenty that are easy to do now with just a little effort. Read how I did it…

I haven’t written anything on this in a while. We didn’t do a whole lot while school was going on, but now that summer is here we are knocking things off the list. She picked out her dress and those of the bridesmaids. I picked out the tuxes. We already had our site picked out, and now we are on the verge of a choosing the photographer. Once we have that it is on to catering. Things are slowly starting to come together.
If at first you don't succeed...

I found out this morning that I was not recommended on my first go for the Navy JAG Corps. I am not too down about it, because I still have multiple times to apply during my 3L year. Would have been nice to get it this time since the application process is a bit of a pain. They also said they are changing some of the procedures, so it maybe it will get easier to apply. Either way, I am going to keep trying.
