A One Word Update

Remember in January when I shared my One Word for the year?

My word was Explore. I wanted to explore places, friendships, job opportunities, new designs, and new restaurants.

Since it’s now the middle of the year, I wanted to give ya’ll an update on how my One Word is going.

The places we’ve explored so far this year include:

• Jacksonville, Florida
• Disney World
• Sea World
• Ponte Vedra, Florida
• Panama City Beach, Florida
• Daytona Beach, Florida

Do you think we like Florida? 🙂

Plus, we’ve tried out some new restaurants in all those places! We’ve also marked a few off our Food Passport like Ruth Chris’ Steakhouse for Valentine’s Day.

As far as friendships go, I feel like I’m getting closer to some people here in Georgia. I joined a new small group and met a few new women from church. I went to a spouse’s event and met a couple people too.

I’m exploring a new job opportunity by writing all the stories for a magazine that will come out in August. It’s going to be a ton of work, but it’s going to give me so much experience and look great on my resume. I also picked up a position as the editor of the features section of a local newspaper. I’ve been doing that for several months now, and I really like it.

And ya’ll know I recently got a new design layout for my blog! In fact, I’ve got a giveaway going on now, so be sure to go enter if you haven’t already!

I think I’ve been exploring like crazy this year, and I still have six months left for even more exploring! Here’s what I’m hoping for in the next six months:

• Go on a cruise (maybe?)
• Spend a weekend in Charleston
• Join a new small group as a couple
• Host a game night to grow closer to our friends
• Bake treats for all our neighbors
• Try all the restaurants in our food passport
