I am the luckiest man in the world

I won $20,000 on a scratch ticket!!!! All my hard work scratching over the years finally paid off yesterday. I am still in complete shock and it hasn't really hit me that I have more money in my savings account right now than I ever have. I got some good plans for the money, like my car and student loans and other boring stuff like that. But it's great to not have to worry about not having a job yet, for a while anyway. :)

Feeling Great!

Hey guys sorry it's been so long. It's been a mix of being busy and lazy, but I think all my laziness may be going away. I'm doing really well right now just overall in life. I don't have a job yet but as far as bettering myself I'm finally taking control and doing the things i need to do to be the best I can be. That sounded a little cheesy but I guess I'll work on that later. I've been eating A LOT healthier. The biggest thing is I've pretty much given up soda, except for a diet pepsi every here and there. I've also started eating more fruits and nuts and stuff at work, rather than getting a soda and bag of chips at 9 in the morning.

I'm also officially studying for the CPA exam, which I honestly didn't think I'd start doing for a while but I figured I can get it as soon as possible. It'll take a loooot of studying, like 6 months or so, but it will definitely be worth it in the end. And I got half off the study books cuz my cousin works for a publishing company, Wiley, that makes CPA study guides. They are a huge help and are definitely preparing me for what to expect on the exam.

Other than that I'm just enjoying life, doing what I need to do, and I'm just a lot happier than I've been in a while. :) :)
