Good News Abounds

So.......A lot has happened since my last post. I guess that should be obvious considering it's been nearly a month and a half. But you know what I mean... I recently applied for a public health masters program and I found out today I was accepted!!! Now my main goal is to get a GA position on campus to help with tuition and living expenses. I have an interview with the university clinic next Thursday and *fingers crossed* I hope I get it.
On another note, I have been really enjoying DIY projects lately. If it involves spray paint and thrift store finds I am there! It is soooo fun making the unexpected beautiful. It brings a smile to my face for a multitude of reasons: 1) Reusing undesirable objects and making them better is better for the environment. 2) It's infinitely cheaper than buying things at the store! 3) It's fun! :)
The list could go on and on, but seriously don't ever underestimate that ugly thrift store or clearance find. With a little imagination and paint, it could become your favorite thing. For example: I found this St. Patrick's Day chalkboard on clearance at Target for $3.50
Kinda tacky, huh? Well, this is how it looked after some white spray paint! (oh and the above pic was taken after I removed the little key hooks you see in the next pic)


Much better in my opinion :)

Resolution headway:
I biked 22 miles this past Sunday!!! I am still doing pretty well diet-wise too. Roman and I both love our healthy options such as brown rice and wheat bread better than white bread and rice so it's not really all that hard for us :)
