Hello Reader,

First of all, thank you for taking the time to visit.  Let’s start with a little disclaimer.  I haven’t really decided what I want this blog to be, but my hope is that, much like many things in life, the journey towards the eventual destination brings to fruition something enjoyable for both of us.

A little about myself, I’ve been married to my best friend for close to 5 and half years (we’ve been dating for 11 years), I’m a first-time dad of a wonderful 10 month old boy and as you can probably guess, I’m in the accounting industry.  The name of my site, in some respects, is a tribute to my wife.  Many years ago, she urged me to be an accounting major, I argued against it because I wasn’t “passionate” about the field, so I went with finance.  Lo and behold, we fast forward 10 years and I’ve been an auditor for 6 years and I’ll be receiving my CPA license within the next month or two.  She likes to remind me of the conversation from time to time.  For the record; however, I’m still not “passionate” about accounting.  I love literature, always have; I love to write (hence the blog).  However, at the same time, I’m very private, which is why I fought the desire to blog for as long as I have.

So why am I writing now?  Well, as I mentioned earlier, I’m a dad for the very first time and I’ve had the idea in the back of my mind, since I found out the little guy was on his way, to record this journey so I can have a way of not forgetting little details of each milestone through fatherhood.  A part of me also envisions my son one day reading this blog.  So that kind of provides a rough road map as to where this blog is going, thank you for coming along for the ride.
