Good Friday

On this Good Friday, it’s easy to forget what the day really means.  Most of us think about the fact that we are off work or out of school.  Perhaps we complain that there’s no mail or that banks may be closed today.  But let’s not forget what this day is really commemorating.  For those Read More…

And so it begins….

There is a hole in your mind…… Wait, that introduction has already been done.  But this is about a beginning.  Or perhaps it’s an ending?  Actually, it’s both. We met with my realtor last night, signed the listing agreement and went over all the paperwork for getting this house sold.  As of Monday, 4.4.11, this Read More…

Sleep

So utterly tired today, and I had a good, decent night of sleep last night.  So what’s up with that?  I have 2 days to get the house ready for showing.  That means 2 days to get all my own personalizations off the walls, off the shelves, and out of sight.  Realtor gets the keys Read More…

God’s blessings

I had a nice revelation this evening when I got home.  God has really blessed me in the  past few days.  Now, this shouldn’t be much of a surprise, as I know my God blesses me daily, but since Saturday, I have been feeling especially blessed.  And I’m so thankful for it. First off, on Read More…

Getting stuff done

Well, thanks to my company bonus, tax returns, and hopefully wise financial management, I’ve just paid off a surgery on my eye from the beginning of last year.  It feels good to pay things off and not have debts hovering over my head.  Now I get to look forward to aggressively paying off my car Read More…

Well, this is no fun

I wish this were some kind of bad April Fools Day joke, but it isn’t. Danielle and I are not getting married on April 2nd.  Now, don’t take that to mean we aren’t getting married at all!!  Certainly not.  We both can’t wait to start our lives together.  We’re just having to postpone that event Read More…

Thanksgiving Day musings

As the holiday seasons approach, it’s time to reflect on a lot of things and remember all that we have to be thankful for.  Okay, that sounds incredibly cliché-ish.  And it is.  But its truthful as well.  That’s the reason for the holiday we know as Thanksgiving.  We get a chance to look at our Read More…

A painful Goodbye

To keep one, I have to lose another.  I love my fiance.  I love her a lot.  I also love my cat.  She’s been my companion (don’t let your mind go there, people) for the past 10 years.  She’s been here in the house and helps keep it from feeling so lonely when no one Read More…

Goodbye, Mom and Dad

Had to spend part of the weekend in Hamilton, OH helping my sister get mom and dad’s stuff cleaned up and moved out of their old house.  I had thought that when I left there in October to move back to Evansville that it was hard then.  This time was hard, albeit without the near Read More…
