Well, things are coming along. Before I graduated, I had 3 major immediate post-graduation goals, and two of those are accomplished:

1. Get a job
2. Get an apartment
3. Get more involved with church

The job is going really well. I like that it's laid back, I like that I get to do the stuff I get to do, and I like the people that I get to work with. It's cool that in an entry level position, I get to work directly with the CEO and he genuinely has an interest in my thoughts and ideas. I enjoy going into work each day.

The apartment is coming together, as well. Ryan and I moved in over the weekend. I think we pretty much have everything unpacked and put away. The only thing we still really need is a couch, but hopefully I'll be taking care of that this week. So far, we haven't really run into any problems. This is the first time Ryan has lived on his own, so the experience may be a little different for him. I've been out on my own for almost 4 years now, so I'm used to everything. I don't foresee us having any problems living together.

So my last immediate post-graduation goal is to get more involved at church. I've been really trying this past year to do that, but being so far away from my home church really made it difficult. I'm now a lot closer, so I think things will finally be able to work out. I'm not really sure what areas I'll be involved, but I'm sure I can find a need.

I'm hoping that being out of school and having a more structured schedule will allow me to do a lot of the things I haven't been able to do the last four years. I'm hoping I'll have more time to play guitar and read. I'm also hoping I'll have more time to go hiking. I've been thinking about getting a new bike and maybe doing some more bike riding. Just the things I couldn't (or didn't) fit into my schedule during school.

It's weird that I don't have anything big to look forward to now. In high school, I looked forward to college. In college, I looked forward to new semesters, graduation, and getting a job. Now, I have a job and I'm done with school, so it just feels like there isn't anything big to look forward to. I'm fine with that for the time being. It's nice to get into some stability. I just don't want to get too comfortable doing the same thing day after day, week after week.

If you're completely comfortable with your life, you're probably not living it to the fullest.
