Reflections on 2009. Outlook for 2010

2009 has flown by. Here's what has happened:

• Renovated a 3500 sq ft property for a hookah bar/coffee shop in the heart of Lancaster, PA with friend and owner of the Pillar Lounge, Ralph.
  
• Focused my long-term goals by applying to the M.S. Sustainable Design program at Philadelphia University. Got accepted and now have a semester completed already. Getting to know a handful of great designers, builders, and architects in the Philadelphia region.
• Joined the DVGBC and am now involved in two committee chapters; Emerging Green Builders (EMB) and the Student Design Competition (SDC).
• Bought a beater Ford Ranger pickup truck as a second vehicle. No car payments!
• Improved my credit score to over 700 and met with a few different Realtors about local investment properties in Conshohocken.
• My little brother Andy was married to his awesome wife Sarah in August, and I was fortunate enough to be the best man. Also attended about 5 other friends and family weddings.

Now what does this year have in store? There a few things I'd really like to do and see.

• Study abroad in Copenhagen in June for the MSSD program. It's a 3 week intensive course, plus a few extra days to see the city.
• Complete and see through permit issues at Lancaster property so it can open.
  
• Visit Austin, TX again and try and bring some more friends along. Will avoid breaking my leg this time.
  
• Visit Chicago, IL in December for my little sister Vicki's wedding to Tim. Will try and do a few stops from Man v. Food while I'm there.
• Get my LEED Green Associate certification this spring. Then prep for LEED with a specialty.
