August Update

I know that I haven't kept up with this thing as much as I probably was intending to when I started the site - but then again, whenever can one keep all of the promises that he makes? ^_^;;

Anywho - there's a ton on my mind (ranging from the most recent scientific study concerning the dealing with a potential zombie infestation to that of the more imminent and dangerous political situation found within the USA).

The major focus on my mind at the moment however is divided evenly between two major events that are in the process of being realized. The first happens to be fairly significant - my wife and I have decided after a long period of debate that it is time for us to move to be closer to her immediate family. Of course, this isn't just a move from one city to another, but rather a leap that will take us roughly half way across the States from our current location in the DFW area to that of the KC geographical area. This being said, I am still in the opinion that while we will undoubtedly face hard times (we're planning on putting my wife through a master's program for accounting and then hopefully getting me through law school) I think that at the end of the next 5 - 6 years, we will be much more comfortable with our place in the world. Hopefully by that time, we will also have been able to either have our first child or will be working towards that particular addition to our family.

The second aspect of my focus currently deals with the job front (which is kinda significant, you know?) and what I'm going to be doing for at least the next 2 - 3 years. Depending on whether A.C. gets into her master's program, I'm going to have to pull some significant weight in regards to monetary gain to keep our little family going...something that hasn't been a light weight on my mind, to be sure. However, I'm equally confident that when (not if) A.C. gets through with her CPA licensure, she will prove more than capable of taking over the majority of the income aspect so that I might be able to focus on getting the JD degree that will allow me to practice law.

Of course, this is all subject to drastic change - what isn't, after all? - but at the moment, that's the plan...and hopefully I'll become more diligent in posting on this site (as my great role model J.P. has) in the times to come.

Peace.
