The 2010 Summer Blogging Challenge is slowly coming to a close, not actually sure the date we end this.  I think September 3rd?  I wasn’t 100% sure I was going to be able to complete it and have something I think is interesting each day.  I tried to keep it different each time and I think I did that however there is a theme to my blog as I think most know. 

Like I mentioned before I was worried what my friends would think and really there was only one blog entry by James where he gave some thoughts into what we are doing. You can find that blog entry here.  It was provoked by my Dream Stealers blog entry.  However after exposing my blog to some people that didn’t know it, or knowing people were following it for awhile really didn’t affect me like I thought.  I have great friends who respect me for what we are doing and I respect them for their views and opinions.  Really it doesn’t matter what people think because we know where we are going and how we are going to get there, despite the odds and all the other stuff that people bring up.

So I’ve split up this blog post because tonight is the eve of my wife’s freedom date.  The date where she will never have to work for another man again, for someone who will tell her what to do and when to get up to chase a paycheque.  Well I should say she really hasn’t had to chase one of her 3 paycheques each week because one of the broke financial advisors still has not paid her in two months.  She’s submitted that invoice today as her final one so it will be interesting when I go pick her up tomorrow if he has her final cheque.  If not I’ll be pissed.  We’ve budgeted Lindsay’s paycheques for the last two months to go directly onto debt.  Him not paying us doesn’t affect how we live or puts us on the street but it affects us paying off the last line of credit debt that we have and I’m pumped to get that done.  So PAY UP BROKE FINANCIAL ADVISOR.  Maybe you should take your own damn advice!

I’m excited for Lindsay, excited for her to re-discover who she is without the stress of showing up for a job.  The last two jobs she’s worked have been pretty stressful, political, and to be honest degrading to her.  Well no longer.  No longer does she have to dress up for some other man, looking all sexy like she does, she can do that for me now   I’m excited for Lindsay to pick up her yoga practice again and for her to do P90X.  She’s really really pumped for that.  Could she do that during the early morning or after regular work hours? Sure but that just reduces the amount of time for everything else like spending time with me, eating healthy, all that other stuff.

Most importantly I am excited to get my wife back.  I’m excited to get to know my wife where the stress of a job does not loom over her head.  I have no idea what to expect, but I’m pumped to enter this new chapter of our lives together and I owe what we’ve done to smart decisions and great association.
