ONE COMPLETED - 12. Visit at least 2 friends who live outside of the NJ/PA area

This weekend I was able to add a trip to Virginia to see M after we went to DC. It was a nice visit (even though it was short :( ). So nice to see her new baby. I couldn't believe it had already been 16 months since I saw her last!

DELETED - 38. Maintain a civil relationship with Dan throughout the divorce

I know that I should replace this one with another goal, so instead it will become "Get over Dan". Either way, this is officially completed.

COMPLETED - 20. Get a part time job

Another completed!

I got a job today! I don't know when I start yet, but at least now I can cross this off my goals since as soon as HR finishes my employment packet, I can start.

This brings along with it a huge sigh of relief!

COMPLETED - 18. Open a Personal Checking Account

So it seems that sometimes we're forced into doing things we didn't plan to do at the time even if those things are positives and we planned on doing them down the road. That's the case with this goal. I've needed a personal account for a while, but what I needed more was money to put into that account so I was holding out until I got a job, won the lottery, or found that proverbial suitcase of money on the sidewalk. Due to some recent issues on my business account (what is this country coming to when no one is safe from identity theft or fraud issues!) I went ahead and opened a personal account to use in the meantime. I'm pretty excited.

11. See some of the local sights - PHILADEPHIA

I really am glad that I added this to my goals.
This past weekend G and I went to Philadephia where I got to see the Liberty Bell and other surrounding historical sites for the first time. It's hard to believe I've lived so close and never made it there before. We also made a trip to Eastern State Penitentiary on Sunday and that place is awesome.

COMPLETED - 10. Send a random present to someone "just because"

Well, I can't really say what this was yet because as far as I know the person hasn't received it or at least they haven't mentioned receiving it, so I'm going on the assumption that it's not there yet. I will say that it was something I made and something that I hope will give the recipient a little peace of mind over the next couple of months. Something I think they truly need.

Edited: She received it today. So there it is. I sent a friend a St. Gerard charm bracelet to continue blessing her during the remainder of her pregnancy.

COMPLETED - 73. Walk around the Moravian Campus and/or Bethlehem

Another goal done. I did this one in two parts, but I've still done it now.
Back in October G and I went to the Moravian Book Shop . That day we walked around Main St and both reminisced about various events in our life. Him about growing up in Bethlehem and what used to be on Main St and me about my college years. We knew a lot of the same places and it was fun to share some of the same opinions on the places that are no longer there and the ones that have taken their places. It had been ten years since I had walked around Bethlehem and I enjoyed it, but i didn't cross it off my list because I wanted to get back to Moravian.

Yesterday I took a trip down memory lane. I met P for lunch and then drove down Main St again looking into jobs and places for my jewelry. I decided to head further up the road to Moravian and while I didn't walk around the entire campus, I did drive around it. The last time I was there was in 2005 and it's amazing the changes that have been made since then. The one thing that didn't change much was the library. It is a stop I needed to make because after working there for four years it is the one place that truly holds the most of my college memories. I was surprised to see one of my old bosses still there and it turned out that they were both still there except one was out sick. One of the reference librarians was there still too and they both recognized me even after ten years! What a great feeling.

So there it is, this goal met. Though I think it's one I want to do again and again. I truly felt at home on both trips.
