Quite quickly my lazy couch potato, TV watching days are over. I can't believe how crazy busy our life has become in the past month or so. And although I feel quite exhausted by it all, I wouldn't change a thing. I feel so energized and fulfilled right now...like everything is coming together perfectly in my life.
This last Thursday evening I held the inaugural event for the Boise Girls in Tech chapter. Girls in Tech is a group that brings together women working in technology and provides a place for them to collaborate and learn together. As the director of this group, I am responsible for getting the word out and creating/facilitating events. Thursday was our first event ever and we had 17 ladies in attendance. It was awesome and left me feeling so very inspired to get the opportunity to spend time with such inspirational and influential women in technology. And it was truly an experience given the fact that I am not a "natural" when in comes to public speaking. I was a little out of my comfort zone, but it was very good for me. I'm still so energized from the event last night and can't wait to plan our next event.
And then there's our GMAT exam. Craig and I have both recently decided to enroll in Boise State University's MBA graduate program. We've spent the past couple weeks getting our admissions requirements in place and the only thing left to accomplish is the taking of our GMAT. We've heard some horror stories about this crazy test and we have to get a good score to be admitted to the program, so we're feeling a little burdened by the whole thing. The test will be sometime late July and between now and then, we need to get about 30 hours of studying in.
And if that weren't enough, we've been super active with our extracurricular activities lately. I'm taking tennis lessons on Monday and Tuesday evenings for the next few weeks. The lessons are going great and it is so nice to be taught how to correctly play the game. It's been a lot of fun so far...but keeping me busy. And on Thursday and Friday nights Craig and I have our indoor soccer leagues. And when we're not playing soccer or tennis, we've been trying to continue to train for our half marathon in October. So most of our evenings are spent outside doing something active. It's been fantastic and challenging.
And then there is the Iphone development. Craig and I have recently become interested in Iphone development as a side project. In order to create Iphone applications, you have to learn the specific programming language used for Iphones and Macs. The language and syntax is slightly similar to what we're used to working in, but every time we learn a new language there is a learning curve and studying that needs to happen.
And then there are the little every day things like...laundry! :) I might sound like I'm complaining about this crazy busy life we've been leading lately but I've never been this challenged and charged before. The trick now will be making sure to not add too much more to our plate. I think we're pretty much tapped out at this point.
