My house will be paid off in about 5-6 years and then we can talk retirement! Woo-hoo!
You GO girl!!!!!

It's often true that once the weight of the marriage is gone, we're able to pursue our own goals and dreams more freely, and good things come of that. You're a smart woman and it's been great to see how you've blossomed in this new job. I won't quite have my house paid off as soon as you but may still be able to retire around that same time - let's go traveling!

Sorry to hear you're having a rough patch with not-so-new-guy. What's that about? You know this is the best place to get advice about that sort of thing.

(P.S. sorry I was out of town last time you were in my area. Would love to see you next time!)
