Oh 2010 how I have loved the time we spent together. But we need to talk. I have found someone else and I am leaving you for good. “What’s her name” you ask? Well her name is 2011, and I can’t explain it but it just happened. It was like I didn’t even have a choice. It’s not you…it’s me. We are just going in different directions. You are staying where you are, and that’s fine, but I am moving on and I can’t help it. We had fun and it was great while it lasted and you will always hold a special place in my heart.
It is December already…when did that happen? It is amazing to look back over the last 11 or so months and to see how far I have come and what I have achieved. Here is a small list of some of the things that defined 2010 for me.
- My first child and daughter was born at the start of March making me forever a dad from this point on.
- I got a new job for the first time in 5 years. Same company but a new role and better hours and that has changed my life significantly.
- Moved in with great friends and now roomies who also have a daughter a bit older than Sasha. That was a crazy decision (who does that??) and it has been loads of fun (and will continue being fun).
- I officially stopped working in the Internet Marketing Niche and moved into the Real Estate Niche.
- I tried to buy my first investment property but the deal flopped when the bank valued the property under my offer.
- Changed our car from the teeny tiny Toyota Echo to the family sized “mum van” Nimbus, which can seat up to 7 people. Wicked
- Went on a holiday to Byron Bay with the family and our roomates. Rekindled my love for skating, vintage skateboards and just vintage in general.
- Got an Xbox and enjoyed countless hours of shooting people online.
It is exciting to look back over the last year and see what has happened and to document it, because I know that in 2020 I will barely remember any of this.
This time last year Kelly was pregnant and still working on the other side of Sydney. I was working 2 days a week (just weekends) and I was trying to find my fortune in every different get rich quick strategy on the internet. We were broke but we were happy.
We are now a little less broke, and with the addition of the little one a little more happy (and a little more tired). This time last year I would sleep in till 11am on countless mornings, now sleeping in till 8am is a dream. Late morning sleep ins is definately something of the past.
