Getting Started

Well, it has taken me a few days to settle into my 'Master's-Journey-mindset', but I think I am finally ready to get started. Hopefully I will figure out how to enter my tracking numbers on the website!!!!! I have to admit that I'm a little (ok, a lot) intimidated by the scary number of requirements I will need to complete before my testing date in October 2015, but I know that the only way to get close to those goal numbers is to tackle each requirement one at a time and keep moving forward. I'm feeling a bit old-ish lately--stiff hips, body parts and joints that make weird, random popping sounds, and a little (ok, a lot) extra weight to lug around these days (which one of you made me eat all of those Reeses Peanut Butter Cups?). This journey will be a challenge for me on many levels and I'm excited to see how much I can accomplish.
