2012 was solid. 2013 was even better.

2013 was pretty solid. Got an apartment and new job, both off West 7th in Fort Worth, paid off all CC debt, got out of a relationship I didn't belong in, and started studying for the CPA exam (sucks but once it's over it will be worth it). Looks like 2014 is going to be awesome, with the exception of studying my ass off.Comment

2013 was mostly year of settling in for me- an newly established routine continued. 2012 was the year of transition for me, I sold my home of 18 years, moved in with my GF-Allyson. We found a house together, then sold hers.
I'm 51 now, and now have glimmer of what it means to get old. I hurt both my wrists (the left is the worse), the Dr said it would go away IF I stopped activities that required lots of heavy wrist usage- like working on cars. I had just gotten the new house set up for messing with project cars.....after a lot of thought....I've given up the car hobby.
So I sold my engine hoist & stand, sandblast cabinet, powder coating setup, tons of parts, and will likely sell my welder too. I returned to my first love in terms of hobbies- building models.
Professionally, my employer stumbled at bit, and had it's first layoff ever. I survived the cut, and actually got a raise- with much higher works loads- they realize what a workhorse I am. I have an opportunity to move within the company, but I'm very distrusting of government sales. As fickle as the commercial jet engine market can be - they never have sequester, budget battles & shutdowns.
After my 2008 divorce I was financially devastated, but in the 5 years since I've saved up close to $100,000, bought a house much nicer than I thought I'd ever have, bought a new car. Not to mention finding an awesome GF.
I did take stock of my health, had a complete workup with a cardiologist- I have a strong heart with no appreciable blockages. I also had my first colonoscopy- I got a clean bill of health there to. But I am getting arthritis & more joint problems - just getting older !
All things considered - a good year!

Started out like any other year but in march we learned my fiancé was pregnant. That started a whirlwind of events, married in July, bought our first house in October, and expecting my first child any day now. Been a crazy six months to say the least. Here's to hoping next year will be a little less stressful but just as rewarding!Last edited by Wicked98Snake; 12-20-2013, 06:33 AM.Originally posted by Nash B.Comment

It was a pretty good year. I've got a happy, healthy, incredibly intelligent little boy and I've been able to afford (barely) for my wife to stay home and raise him for the last three years. I know not everyone can do that, but I can attest to it's benefits in his advancement. He is the most important thing in my life.
The old lady and I are on year 17 together and we still chug along. Not a ton of time for each other and at times it seems we just exist together, but after this long, you're almost one in the same and our mutual love for our son and each other are still solid.
As for me, I keep doing what I need to do to make sure this household and my family stay grounded. It's a lot of pressure at times and I keep a lot of shit inside, but that's what I do. It's what I've always done. It takes more of an internal toll on me than it used to and I think there's no avoiding that as I get older.
My brain still constantly races, though it's mostly undetectable on the outside. The fact that I've worked at the same place for the last 15 years has worn on me more this year than it ever has. I've done more second guessing about my job and my future this year than I ever have. When it comes to work, I really feel like I'm living in the movie Groundhog Day. I'm bored. I can't stand half of the people there. The blinder's are on and I forge through the day until it's time to leave. I often feel like the work force world is passing me by and my talents could be better suited and monetarily rewarded somewhere else though I haven't the slightest where. Though, I can't say that if the right offer came along that I wouldn't strongly consider it. I feel like such a small portion of what I have to offer is utilized and the rest is just always on mute. I basically give what I feel I'm compensated for and the rest gets held back. Yet, I have a family to support and bills to pay, so I tell myself to suck it the fuck up and handle life for the time being.
I've found pleasure in homebrewing with the very, very little me time that I have and it helps. I love beer, so, there's that.
Here's to 2014.Comment

It's been a great year here. Picked up an awesome steady job thanks to a board member. Roadtripped out to Arkansas via motorcycle with ntxvstar which was awesome. Got my own place and passed all my classes in school. Picked up new hobbies left and right. Gf and I have been together over four years now. I'm in a great place mentally and financially. It has been awesome. Only regret is not smoking more cigars.2012 GT500Comment
