I never thought this day would arrive. After 42 plus years of working I am now officially retired. As I pulled into the driveway my amazing wife had balloons deployed and was standing next to the drivers door, as I exited the truck, with her phone in her hand playing Zac Brown's "Free". I'm sure it will eventually sink in, but for the moment it just feels like I'm on vacation.

With this milestone reached we are now on final countdown for completing final prep and saying goodbye to family and friends. If I was wondering what I would do with all my spare time, my darling wife has solved that problem ;>). We created a list of all items that need to be done before we leave on September 28th and assigned a date to complete each item, and let's just say I'm considering returning to work.... just kidding. It's nice to be finally working on things that lead to the start of our travels and not just counting time. Speaking of that, time to get back to work!

  1. Congratulations again Dad!! You've worked so hard all these years and I'm thrilled that you get to relax and live the dream you've always wanted. I know you and Mom will have a great time on your adventures and yes, she will keep you from getting too bored! Lol! I'm the luckiest daughter on the planet to have such a great Mom & Dad. My best wishes to you on this next journey, you both deserve it! All my love, Jenny

    1. Thanks Jen for the wonderful comments. We are so thankful to have such loving and supportive children. We hope to set a good example for setting a dream and making it happen. We can't wait to see you, Marc, and the kids in sunny California. Love Dad
