Hello again
This year has been a year of transition. I guess it really started last year with my severance from the Paper company. It was unexpected and a total shock when it happened. However, it did provide me the chance to work in my chosen field which was being delayed by managers at the Paper company.
It also allowed me the chance to meet my future wife. We would have never met if my job situation had not have changed.
Another transition occurs this coming Monday. I start my new job in Wisconsin. It hasn't hit me yet that I start Monday. I will start getting nervous this weekend as it gets closer. I hope it never hits me. I hope it will be completely natural stepping into a new company.
Tomorrow we'll be flying to LA again for our final wedding planner weekend. Everyone is asking if I'm nervous that our wedding is less than a month away, and again I have to say no. Why be nervous? I feel married as it is. This will just formalize what's in my heart.
My brother G. called me today for advice on a job. He's been offered a sales rep position with a base salary of $64k plus commissions. On top of that, all expenses are covered and they give him a car. Not bad for someone who doesn't even have a GED. My mother isn't happy with the job since he'll have to move to Nashville. He has to take this job. He'll never have this opportunity again if he turns it down. He'll forever be making upper 20s or low 30s a year otherwise. I have no clue why my mom is so against this.
But then she was against me getting married. Not for 'who' I was marrying, but that I was getting married. Her plan was that I was going to take care of her in her old age. I don't know what to say about that. My wife will always be my #1. I can't live my life alone any longer. I never wanted to be one of those who just exist, alone and unwanted. I'd rather not be here if that was what was to be. Life alone is not living. It's just existing.
We've had no luck selling the house in Memphis. This will be week 7 with no bites. The realtor did call and say she showed the house and the family loved it. Hopefully they'll make and offer this weekend. We are thinking of waiting another month and then review our options. Change realtors are perhaps just rent the place out. We can't afford 2 mortgage payments. Especially if we need to save up to pay for my income taxes for next year. I've made mad money the last 5 months as a 1099. No taxes were taken out. I'm thinking I probably owe close to $20-25k in income taxes. That some serious savings over the next 6 months.
