Wow...I haven't posted in a couple of months. Work has been kicking my butt lately. We lost two people and the workload has tripled for me. I still love my job, though. The real estate stuff has slowed down since we closed the house in West Sacramento last month. Still working with two other clients, but things are a little less hectic right now due to their availability to look at homes.

James has been promoted to Service Manager at his job and that's a good thing for our finances. We are making progress towards our goal of being debt free within the next 3-5 years. If things go well, we'll actually meet that goal within 2 years and then will be able to move into a bigger home.

We're dealing with some family medical issues that are life-threatening right now. My brother, Craig, had a massive heart attack last month and he's only 47. There are some other problems that I can't go into here out of respect for their privacy, but we really need your prayers for another family member who is battling advanced cancer. It's a very humbling and difficult thing to deal with. It certainly encourages us on a daily basis to take stock of our own lives and remember to tell those we love how much they mean to us. I know that I'm trying to be more focused on my spiritual path; knowing that this life is just a minor distraction in the cosmic theme. When this one ends, we move on to the next existence and continue to learn and grow spiritually. As I am rapidly approaching 50, I am reminded more often of my mortality as I see friends, family, and favorite entertainers all passing away around me.

More to come later today. I'm on my way shopping and just felt the need to drop a line to let everyone know that we are safe, happy, and enjoying married life to the fullest!
