Last month, I was given notice by my boss that I was being transferred to a different state. I have a family, so this was a very major event for us. My wife had to change jobs, my children were having to change schools and we would also be moving away from our families. Even though I would have my job, my wife was worried about finding one that suited her and paid as much as she makes now. Luckily, we had 3 months before the transfer took place. We, first found a home to live in and took care of all that paperwork. The next step was helping my wife find a job. We were moving to Atlanta, Georgia. Neither of us had ever been there before. In searching for jobs in Atlanta, we were shocked to how many there were available. It only took my wife three and a half weeks and she landed a job that she loves. It was very much like the one she currently had, and also paid more than she was making before. We never realized how many jobs in Atlanta that there really were. We were amazed and happy at what we found. Our children also made lots of friends with our neighbors and loved their schools.

I’m thinking about taking a nice little vacation this summer with my girlfriend. We’ve been budgeting and planning for a nice vacation for about 2 years now and I really think it’s time we took the plunge and cashed it in. We’ve been talking about going to either Las Vegas or Florida. I really enjoy going to Las Vegas, the atmosphere and everything is just very nice. I also like being outside and around at night, so Las Vegas is the perfect city for me. On the other hand, I’ve never been to Florida and it looks like it could be fun to just hang out on the beach and sip Margaritas for a couple of weeks. We’ll see.

Many people today are doing things differently after getting married. One of the things has to do with their finances. They each open up their own separate savings accounts. This is much different than how it used to be. When I get married, we are going to open up one savings account with both our names on it. To me, making everything ours is part of being married, instead of each having their own money and assets. A savings account is very important to have whether you are married or not. You never know when you may need some extra money and is also good to have for the future.

I purchased a nice little gold anklet for my girlfriend yesterday. I’ve had a pretty good month at work and I really wanted to do something nice for her. She has just about every necklace you can imagine, so I wanted to get her something different. She was very surprised and I think she actually likes it. We’ll see if she wears it or not.

When I was younger my family went to Branson Missouri for several different family vacations. We actually stayed outside of Branson in a little town called Rockaway Beach every time we went to Branson. As a child I really couldn’t appreciate everything that Branson had to offer, but as an adult I can really see why my family loved going there. I’m trying to get my girlfriend to take a little vacation with me to Branson.

I went to Las Vegas a couple of years ago and stayed at the Stratosphere hotel and casino. It was really amazing to be near the top of it looking down. You could see the whole city from up there. My girlfriend wasn’t with me and she’s tired of me talking about it. I think I’m going to surprise her one weekend and take her on a little Las Vegas road trip.

I think I’m going to get myself a term life insurance or whole life insurance policy. I’ve been reading about life insurance lately and if something would ever happen to me I want to know that my girlfriend is covered and doesnt have to worry about how she’s going to make ends meet. Im going to call an insurance agent this week and schedule a meeting.

My girlfriend’s best friend just sent out engagement announcements to let everyone know that her and her boyfriend of almost 5 years were finally tying the knot. We were kind of surprised when we received the announcement. We’ve known both of them since before they even got together and they really didnt seem like they planned on getting married any time soon. I wish them all the luck.
