I'm Not That Interesting

I made a discovery about myself the other day: I'm just not really all that interesting. I have lots of opinions, and things to say, and all that different stuff. But I realized that nobody really probably wants to know what I have to say. I have been meaning to be here on my blog, updating things, and letting people know more about what's going on in my life, and all that. But, every time I sit down to do it, I just realized that I don't really have anything all that interesting to write about.

I have an amazing wife, and I feel so lucky for that. But life is good for us. We have our struggles, with moving 800 miles and costing a fortune being a big part of it, there hasn't been a lot going on that I really feel needs to be shared. Most of the people who read this know most of what's going on anyway ... although I suppose to owe it to the others (Aubrey, I'm talking about you! :) ).

Overall, this is my daily life: Leave for work, work 9 - 10 hours, get home, relax, go to sleep about 9:30 or 10:00, and then do it all again the next day.

It's crazy, I know

Anyway, I promise that I will write more out of pure desire to write about my life.

I do like my job. I LOVE MY WIFE. She's the reason I do everything.

My ward is good. My life is good. I look forward to moving forward.

All my love people.

Give me more POWER!

How many out there watch Heroes? How many are following the current season? Ok, so, I'm going to do a lame crossover. You know how Peter and Sylar just keep acquiring more and more powers? I'd like more power too. But I don't necessarily need more power, like superpowers (although I would really enjoy having some), I just need more power in my computer life. And that's why someone invented POWERSHELL.

I know. I'm a nerd. I'm ok with that.

Onto other subjects.

So, I'm taking a financial planning class this semester. It's giving me lots more power. How do I mean? I mean it's giving me power over my finances instead of letting my finances have power over me. It's amazing how, when you simply take control of your money, rather than letting your money control you, how much better you feel about everything. Creating budgets and trying to stick by them is fun. Plus, it's teaching me how to get my credit score, how to obtain my credit report, and also know more about what to do with these things. And that's been really nifty.

We recently had a class about home buying. I think that this is a class, or at least a section of the class, that everyone needs to focus on by visiting the website for personal finance that I linked above. It provides tons of information about how to compute your effective interest rate for your mortgage, and other information about affordability and what you can take into consideration before you head off to buy a home. I think it especially important to know during this time of financial meltdown.

But I digress. Windows Powershell is really cool.

But I keep digressing. Financial planning is crucial. Especially now that I am getting married, it's important to talk things over with my (future) wife and make sure that we are on the same page. In fact, this class has even helped to design a savings plan that should allow us to by a townhouse or condominium within the next 3-5 years while the market is recovering. It should be a great time to buy.

My brain's confused. It doesn't know what it wants to talk about. Heroes, Powershell, financial planning, Chuck, power, sleep, glasses, contacts. The list goes on. So let me conclude like this: I can't wait to watch The Office tomorrow.

Sigh.
