Update on my 101 in 1001


So since starting work I have been oh so busy. Work, school and trying to work out is A LOT harder than I anticipated. But .. since we are starting a new week tomorrow and a new month soon I thought I would give myself some goals to try and accomplish! :)

37. Work out 24 of the 30/31 days of a month
54. Make my bed every day for a week
76. Do morning work outs for a week
77. Have morning quiet time with God
78. Pray before my meals
88. Help make my sister a mum or garder

After re-looking at my list I get to mark some things off!! :)
99. Walk across the Brooklyn Bridge - I did this with Carly!




100. Pack up apartment in New York



71. Go to a friends wedding
72. Be in a wedding
I was able to do both of these in one weekend thanks to Amanda and Adam!


I think this finally catches me up on my list. Hopefully this week I will be able to add more like making my bed for a week, hehe!

Happy rainy Saturday!

Gone for soo long

I have been gone for so long, but now I am back to blogging. :) I got the job I wanted after sooo many interviews and I couldn't be happier with this decision. I know everything happens for a reason and this job lets me flex my hours so I can take the last two classes I need for medical school!

Yes, thats right. After much prayer I have decided that I will not give up and continue with the last classes I need and apply maybe not this cycle but the next. I was given this job for a reason and I will take my flex schedule and use the blessing I have been given to get things in order.

Other than that life is life. I have been sooo busy with weddings, reunions and everything else in between but I am grateful for all of those opportunities. In New York I wasn't as social/didn't really have as many people to hang out with and I feel as if my prayers have been answered. I go to an awesome young adult ministry once a week and after this weekends picnic have made lots of friends who are in like minded faith as myself.

I was so ready to be done with school, but now I am going back!! I know roll your eyes at me! First class tomorrow so I am going to try and get in bed early!

Long time no blog

Hi my name is Kristi and I am a bad blogger! I know it has been such a long time since I have blogged and I have been sooo busy with interviews and looking for a job. As soon as I have all of that figured out I will be back on the blogging bandwagon. Not too much exciting is going on here - just life! :)

Happy 4th of July weekend!

Graduation

May 15th I graduated with my MPH (Master's in Public Health) Woo Hoo!! And here are all the glorious pictures to show for it!! It was soooooo long!! A politician spoke and basically just promoted his campaign and said "government is not the problem/enemy" .. we all rolled our eyes and just wanted him to get over with it. Either way - I am soooo glad to be done and to have survived the semester. It was probably the hardest yet most rewarding.


Heres me and N. I babysat him and his sis for the two years I was there.

My advisor and the teacher who made our lives literal hell this semester!

My roommate for the past two years.


Me and Allie.

Me, Selina, and Natalie.

Me, my dad, Marjorie and Nathan. I love his face in this picture. He was doing it on purpose! Haha!

Me and my dad.

Me, Allie, Charlotte, and Hayley.



Crossing the stage!

Walking in.

The small stage we crossed - haha.




Now that I am done - I am on to bigger adventures. Who knows what, but either way I will enjoy them as long as they don't require me to move to a new state with no one I know. At least not for a good while! :)

Live your Best Life Weekend (Day 4)

Our last day in NYC was spent doing some sight seeing. I have always wanted to go to Liberty Island and see the Statue of Liberty so we got up and did that. What I really really wanted to do was go to the top of the crown but you have to book 3 months in advance to do that. So we went had fun and took lots of pictures.

After that we met our friend at the MTV studios because that is where she works! We also rode the elevator with this guy from some show either the city or the hills.

All in all a great trip with a great friend!! Glad we were able to have such a fun time before I moved.

Live your Best Life Weekend (Day 3)

I think after this post I will be one post away from being caught up. So here is the last day of the LYBL Weekend and what me and Carly did after the run that day. We got up waaaay to early for a 2 mile run along the river and ending in Times Square. At the last minute we decided not to run but to instead take a taxi to Times Square and wait so that we could be close to the stage. In our attempt to leave we got stopped and ended up in a good position because we got to take some great photos of some of the celebrity's who were there - Dr. Oz, Jennifer Hudson, Mary J Blige, Suze Orman, and Gayle. After all was said and done with the walk we went home and took a long rest and got up to go walk across the Brooklyn Bridge. This was on my 101 in 1001 list. So we did that and got some amazing photographs that I can't wait to frame. Then we went and had the best pizza ever at a place right under the bridge. Never did we think we would have to wait in line for pizza, but we did and it was worth it. The atmosphere in side was great. All of the tables were right next to each other so when you were seated you were so close to the next table. It was great because we were able to have good conversation with people on both sides of us. I highly recommend walking across the Brooklyn Bridge at getting pizza at Grimaldi's if you go to NYC.

One more post about our trip to NYC, a graduation post and then I will be caught up! I am only a month behind! :)

Live Your Best Life Weekend (Day 2)

Saturday was a day of sessions and Carly and I chose to go to Dr. Oz, Nate Berkus, and I forgot what the 3rd one was because I went around the Galleria to see what was going on up there. Up there I was able to hear Suze Orman speak and do some other fun things. The ladies there were CRAZY!! They were cutting in line, yelling at each other, running for seats - it was intense. I enjoyed all of the sessions and that night we got to hear Oprah speak about her life at Radio City Music Hall. They said no camera's so we didn't take any pictures but everyone there had cameras.

We got a nice purse, shirt, make up case, and some other free stuff in the bag. It was lots of cool stuff.
