Almost from day one…well actually from day one…Kelli and I have had separate bank accounts. We have some commingling of funds. We share a joint checking account, one credit card and a few ING savings accounts. Some people think we are nuts for having separate accounts. But it makes life easier. I balance mine, she [...]
Countdown has begun….in my head anyway. Vacation next month. Lots of expenses. Kelli is on a “real” airline ticket. Renting a car for 9 days. Hotel for 2 days. Kennel the dogs/dog sitter for 9 days.

This has also been the most rewarding time of my life. I hope you enjoy my blogs.
