Let's hear what all of you have done this year so far. I have:

Ended a bad relationship of almost 3 years

Traveled to every major city in Texas, some multiple times

Visited the National Firearms Museum in Fairfax, Virginia

Hiked in Estes National Park in Colorado

Sat by the sea in Galveston as the sun rose (beautiful beyond words)

Freeclimbed a mountain in Wyoming

Drove most of Route 66 from Amarillo to New Mexico

Got robbed by a homeless man in South Carolina and the story was put in the local paper

Visited the Arch in St. Louis

Gambled for the first time at a casino in Oklahoma

Met my current girlfriend Heather, been dating almost 3 months

Began working at Walmart two months ago

Realized there's a lot more to the world than I thought, and found my love of road trips

Great replies, all of you!

You are a busy woman.  Sounds like you've a big appetite for a full life.  Good for you Rebekah!

Thanks for asking this.  Works as a good reminder to get off my ass! 

 

But I did accomplish a few things, i guess.

Started a wood carving hobby and competed several small pieces. 

Finally drug out the canoe I inherited a couple of years ago and put it to good use with the family.

Started a new job. 

Lost 20 lbs in the first 5 months of the year.  Have since stopped losing, but at least I havent gained any back.

Started a new job as a design engineer in the mining industry.

 

Driven approximately 55,000 miles in my work commute (AND listened to half of Dr. J. Vernon Mcgee's Through the Bible 5-year program in that process).

 

Spent two weeks at a Chilean mine site.

 

Visited six different mine sites.

 

Sold two houses. 

 

Accumulated 37,000 frequent flier miles on flights alone (NOT credit card miles).

 

Had it snow on me in July in California.

 

Visited the East Coast for the first time.

 

Shot my first coyote.

 

 

But the year isn't finished yet... still much more to do!
