Thirty by Thirty Update

Hey y'all! 

I haven't been updating on my 30 by 30 list much lately, but that doesn't mean I haven't been working my tushie off towards some of them! I wanted to update y'all on some of them! 

5. Read 20 New Books Each Year - In 2014, I have read 115 books on my kindle app. Not even kidding! My husband will attest to the fact that on a Saturday I might read three books in one day. You might be thinking "I thought you were studying for some big tests." Yes, I am and have read one book for fun since July. Let's put this in perspective....in 2013, I read 193 books! Most are contemporary romance, $2 or less (free and 99 cents are my best friends) on Amazon and really quick reads, but I love them all the same. Also, you should note I have spent an INSANE amount of time on an airplane/in an airport in the last two years. I would guess on each round trip I make, I probably read about 6ish books.

7. Pay off as much debt as we can - All I'm going to say here is WOW. We are doing great towards the goals laid out and I know we are going to reach it by the day I turn 30! :)

8. Pass the CPA exam - I found out today that I am officially HALFWAY done with this exam! Y'all honestly don't know the joy that this brings me. I'm a glass half full kind of girl, so I am PUMPED about this. God is soooo good! Thank you to my awesome husband for supporting me through this...hopefully sometime soon I will be able to watch football with you instead of studying all the time. Also a huge thanks to my amazing family and friends! I appreciate ALL of your love and support and I know y'all will be rooting for me for the next two exams too!

27. Lose 50 Pounds - Y'all...this one is sucking, but I'm slowly making progress. I'm down 8 lbs right now, but have a long way to go. Time to get serious (right after I eat this chicken fried steak my husband is about to make me). I plan on sharing my progress with y'all more often. You guys hold me accountable! (i.e. I know you read my blog and I go out to eat with you, I'm going to eat healthier because I know that YOU know that I'm trying to lose weight). 

Any goals that you're working towards and need some positive thoughts and prayers sent your way? I would love to do that for you! Just let me know what you're working towards and I can send as much positive energy and prayers your way as I can! Consider these little minions my virtual hug to you, wishing you luck!

Until next time,
