It's taken a little longer than anticipated, but I've finally managed to pay back my share of the wedding. This goal was kind of arbitrary as Jess and I paid for our wedding with our own savings, so we weren't really paying anyone back per se, the goal was just to break even/get back to where we were beforehand. The money that we 'paid back' for the wedding has been going towards our house deposit.

Most of the other goals don't have a defined end date, so I'm not sure if I'll be able to post another of these until the end of the year.

On another note, I've started getting back into Mind Expansion Sunday - now that I have something to work on, that is. I recently found out I can undertake SAS training through my job at the University, so I intend on working my way through those courses and hopefully getting a SAS Advanced Programmer certification. After finishing that, I've been thinking about doing some stuff through Coursera or Khan Academy etc.

Until next time!
