It has really come to an end...
As of July 31st I am officially off the YL staff. It’s a little hard to believe that the page has turned and now I am onto a new chapter. It feels freeing and a little surreal. I am so curious to see what the next pages hold!
I am working at the children’s furniture store and also working with a friend (Johnny) who does residential design and drafting work. JPCADD Services is the name of his company (www.jpcaddservices.com). I am helping him market the business right now because it is a new start up… so some cold calls to contractors and realtors… funtimes! Johnny is also (re)teaching me auto cadd which is a huge blessing and will be valuable in this next chapter.
As mentioned a while back I’ve decided to run the Chicago marathon with a group of friends from Charlotte. We are in the middle of training and it has been a real adventure so far… aches, pains, power gels and LOTS of water! We are not just running for the fun of it though, we are on the WORLD VISION TEAM. We’re raising money for water projects in Africa. Each person is raising $900. So our team alone, made up of 8 people, will raise $7200 for World Vision. This is so motivating when there’s no desire to train, we just remember why we’re doing it, so people can have clean water and live!
This weekend we run 14 miles, one more mile than I’ve ever run in my life! I’ll let you know how it goes!
