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,
Wow! It has been a long time since I have posted on this blog. The last post was September 2009 and that is about the time we fell off the wagon. To make a long story short, in December 2009 my daughter had surgery and had a weeklong stay in the hospital and needed another week of attention at home. This caused added expenses and loss of pay. Instead of staying on track and rebuilding our emergency fund, we just let things fall to the side. When I was blogging about our situation, I had gazelle intensity and my hope is to start blogging again to get it back. So after two years of hiatus, we are back to square one. We need to complete the Baby Step 1 again, ($1,000 Emergency Fund).
