Felicia looked at the bank account today and discovered we have not been sticking to the agreed budget. I know it was both of us. We both have been buying lunch, which is not in the budget. I think that was the big killer. We both feel really bad about it. We have been taking so many steps forward that I hate that we jumped back a little. These next two weeks we are going to try to keep a close eye on it. Knowing the problem now, we have to find a solution. For my part, I am going to ask around for ideas for easy brown bag lunches to take to work. We can't do a lot of lunch meat, because Felicia is pregnant and she can't have too much of it. I need to email mom, my aunt, and my cousin the chef to get ideas.
Hey Blog, It's me again. I have taken a long hiatus from you. Now, I am ready to give us another shot. Why now? The main reason and the scariest reason is that I am turning 40 this year and I still don't know what I to be when I grow up. With that milestone approaching, I am hoping you can helm me stay motivated and encouraged to keep soul searching and figure it out before another decade goes by. When I was turning 30, I was filled with a lot of anxiety and despair and some of those feelings are starting to creep back in now that I am looking at 40. I know I will have some of those feelings again, but I am hoping with you that I can better manage them. A lot has happened since I tried starting this blog. My wife and I will be celebrating our 15th anniversary this year. Our two kids are now 13 and 11 years old. We are living on our own after living with her parents and then my parents for awhile. These are some of the good things. Some of the not so good,
