Wow. been a while....

So, ive been a bit MIA here on my page.

lots of changes have happened since my last post.

I finally sold my old home.  It was bittersweet. I never though id be able to, and yet we were able to sell really fast.  I listed it on Zillow.com, and figured it would take a year for me to fix all the issues, and to have it sold, but low and behold the place sold in 12 days. I had all of a month to get my new house lined up, bought and closed on.  The new house is all that we wanted in a new place minus 2 things.  We wished for a fireplace and a screened in porch..  some things you just cant afford at the time so if we get them ever, we will have to do so in the future.

My orange Camaro is leaking coolant from the heater core, and Herndon Chevrolet tell me that i need a new motor. It runs and drives fine, theyre crazy.  So a new vehicle has been on my mind a good bit.

This year has so far been a year of sadness too for us.  We lost our 2 dogs, of 13.5 and 14 years respectively.  Loki, my rottie, passed away on Easter sunday morning. He had what i believe to be a brain tumor, and maybe a stroke, and had to be put down.  It was one of the hardest things i've had to do ever. Then just a few months later our 14 year old German Shepherd Nikita passed away.  Having to take care of that was perhaps the hardest thing I've done in my adult life.

We also lost Emily's Grandfather in between the two dogs.   He was 94 years old, and we miss him dearly.  All of that happened during the sell, buy and move of our old house.

Lately we're dealing with a lot of scare in the media, with Ebola going around.
It hasnt made it to SC yet, so that is a good thing.

On a personal note, I have my health, but i cant help but feel somewhat empty inside somehow. its almost like something is missing, and im not sure what.  I've been contemplating a sort of autobiography too... but im not sure anyone would like to read about my life much less pay to.  The new house is nice, but it doesnt fill the feeling of what is my purpose here on this planet.  Material items never do...  I work, i go to school, but why am i here.  I feel like im missing purpose.... drive... something. I cant help but to wonder how many of my friends and family, and others, who think the same thing. Who feel unfulfilled, or empty, or whatever it is.  Think on that, and if you have any insight, or similar feelings feel free to post up.

Let me leave this with you... think on what he's saying.
