Be Prepared

So I got this tweet the other day from Dave Ramsey – “The story of the Good Samaritan wouldn’t have existed if he didn’t have any money.”
Coming from a financial guy like Dave, I thought this was interesting so I began to look into it a little further. So I read the story of the [...]

The BIG News

Most of you that guessed Lauren and I are pregnant, were wrong. Sorry.
We have actually paid off ALL of our school loan debt. We began focusing on this in January 2007 and finished at the end of January 2008. So, in 13 months we have paid off a total in $58,090.39 in school loans. Talk [...]

Out of the Canyon and Up the Mountain

Many times we all feel like we’re on a journey of some sort. Whether it’s the journey to know why we’re here on earth, becoming a man, becoming a husband, or whatever it may be. The journey always seems to have it tough points and yet those glorious ones as well.
Lauren and I have been [...]

Life at Pizza Hut

Today I begin the new year back at Pizza Hut. I’ve been off since right before Christmas. It seems like it’s been ages. Life there has been great and no so great at times.

Loving People

I’m not sure how many people may read this, but I want to get some ideas.
If you had $25 to spend on a total stranger, how would you spend it to simply show you love and care about them? I’m interested in seeing some creative thoughts & ideas.

Financial Peace Update #2

Here’s the May update.  We have reached 37% of our total school loans. We are so excited and anxious to get these things paid off and to stop paying Citibank an outrageous amount in interest.  Our interest rate has dropped significantly thanks to the Federal Reserve rate being cut.  I believe it was a blessing [...]
