Another Year, Another Failed Journal Attempt

I just happened to wander by this page and realized that a long time ago I started to write a journal here and never made it past the first post. It was neat to read about the thoughts I had during April, nearly two years ago.

Kate is now my wife, so I guess I was right about wanting to be with her forever. We have been married nearly 8 months and just made it through our first married Christmas. I am not a fan of the holidays, but it was nice to spend it with Kate.

Life has had many twists and turns in the last few years. Kate and I are embarking on a new adventurous portion of our lives, as I face the very real possibility of not having a job for the first time in 14 years. Kate has taken a post with an agency and is going to be working as a nurse in far off lands. If everything goes well, I will be travelling with her and finishing my degree online.

We have had our fair share of set backs in our plans. Several hospitalizations. Two surgeries. Two job changes. I am hoping that this new post provides the stability that we desperately need.

The goal is to do this for two years so that we can save enough to buy a home and start a family. This is the one thing in life that I want more than anything else, so here's hoping.
