Progress?

So its May and the year is flying by...while there are still so many things to be done, I can also hopefully say that a lot HAS been done!

With that in mind, I thought I would use the usual dashboard...my New Year's Resolutions...to see where I stand

1). Get fit, Stay fit.
There was a definite lag following our trip to Zanzibar and studying for my statistics exam last month, so technically items 2 and 3 below are partially to blame for this. But, I can say with all honesty that I am back on the wagon and am off for another 8km run as soon as this blog is posted! (followed by a hockey game tonight)

2). Achieve in my MBA
So far, so good. Although I dont have marks for my first module yet as the first payment still needs to go through, so for all I know, I have failed everything so far!

3). Celebrate One Year Anniversary in Style.
Please visit the post detailing our trip to Zanzibar and Dar es Salaam. Enough said. :)

4). Travel Less
While this has certainly been less, my weekends are now spent in syndicate discussions and classrooms, so a far swap...sort of. I have a little golf tour coming up next month, Ryder Cup style where a JHB team will be taking on a Cape team down in the Garden Route, should be lots of fun!

5). Have Christmas in our New House
This is where the biggest update comes in! We finally have our land at Pecanwood! We gave up on the crazy situation at number 3 Forest Crescent and went to see a piece of land on the same road at the end of a quiet Cul De Sac. Number 29 Forest Crescent is further down the fairway and has unobstructed views out over the 5th and 4th fairways towards the mountains. It is great and we have (today actually!) had the loan for the land approved!
Helen and I finished our designs for the house while we were away with my family in the Waterberg for Easter and are quite excited as they look amazing! We are meeting with the architect this weekend to look at how to take our plans and make them formal and then get them approved! The next step is to sit with the builder and determine the cost of it all! (exciting stuff, well...not the cost!)

As for being in by Christmas, that might be a stretch, but we'll give it our best shot!
