time for an update

I've been rather quiet on my blog this week, but I really haven't had anything on my mind that I wanted to write about and my week has been relatively uneventful. Most of the week, I just did some cleaning around the house and ran some errands. I did visit the UofM on Tuesday and got all of my financial aid squared away for this semester and I purchased all of my books. I also had lunch with my buddy Tim & a friend of his named Victoria. The highlight of my week may have been when I asked Victoria to guess my age and she guessed 20 or 21, yes! At least I still appear to be young, haha!

I spent yesterday in Nashville visiting my friends Israel and Denise Brooks. I'm pretty good friends with both of them but Denise is like a sister to me. They got married last December and she moved to Nashville. I miss her a lot & it was fun to hang out yesterday. I also got to know their 3rd member of the family, their dog Spencer. He's a handful, haha!

Now, I'm just looking forward to next week. I will start school on Tuesday! I'm very excited! It'll be really cool to meet some new people & to make some new friends. But I'm also excited about the class aspect too. I really enjoyed my summer school experience with Anatomy & Physiology and I am looking forward to learning more things about how the human body works. I'm also excited because every day I will know that the things that I am working on are leading to my future career. And that's pretty exciting!

For my entire adult life people have asked me "What are your career goals?" and I never had an answer. I knew that I wanted to be a husband and father some day and that I wanted to have a job that would provide for their needs but I didn't really have a passion or desire for any particular career field. So, I'm really enjoying this new phase of life where I know what I want to do. I'm enjoying the process that I am going through to get there and I am excited about the job that I will have in a few years!
