I'm alive...

Mum & CJ, 11/2005,
There was a vicious, unsubstantiated rumour about town saying Bluezy has an offline life....well, that rumour is true!
It's been 5 months since my last blog post. CJ is now 2 1/2 years of age, wearing 10T shoes and a size 4T in his shirts (he's got the Scottish Highland build...you know, the build of the gorgeous men who throw boulders at each other for sport). I've also been at my first paralegal job for 5 months. Time passes quickly.
Of all my accomplishments in the past 5 months more savings goals completed and/or increased:
1) CJ's 529 - Goal 2K...Completed
2) CJ's Coverdell (2K)..Completed
3) HSA ($3650)..........Completed
4) 2006 Trad IRA (4K)...TO DO
5) Emergency fund (25)..10K to go
I'm also putting prayers towards a relocation plan back to Arizona. I lived and worked there in 1999 - 2002 and loved it. I have family there as well. Florida is not the heaven it is portrayed to be on the Travel Channel. It is rough to make ends meet. Pay is not up to standard and the cost of living is pushing the middle class out of the cities. The area around Sedona is breathtaking and might be the perfect place to live while working in Phoenix/Scottsdale.
Until the next post, Cheers all!
