People always say that at different stages of your life you are allowed to reinvent your character or persona for who you want to be. Usually that is when you start high school, when you start college, and when you start your life. No one ever tells you that's okay to tweak what you have going for you already instead of starting over. However, March 1st, 2019 is my tabula rasa. I'm not exactly sure if it's hers, you'll have to ask her that. For me I am making it mine. I've been chipping away at this "figure out adulthood" stage and it leaves me 11 days before my 25th birthday. I thought I was supposed to have everything figured out by then. Guess it's a lifelong game I'm just now coming to terms with. I will say I have been progressively positive with my tax refunds every year. Granted getting married helped a lot this past year but still, I can say I don't mind tax season.

These are the unknown places either my family helped me to concur or I battled myself. Each place chiseling the character I bring to my now wife in 2019. So if she's annoyed now she can thank these locations and the people in them haha. Each of these places I came to with a different mindset. Each occurrence for me was my tabula rasa.
Vegas will ALWAYS have a special place in my heart. It's where I've resided most of my life. It's where I met my wife. It's where I've resided during two of my biggest heart breaks in life (first move there when I was 10 and the death of my mother). However, it was also the place I've had the happiest times in my life (married my best friend and surprise 24th birthday party with my best friends, family, and colleagues). However, I am not sad to leave this place. I am sad to have left some people behind. I am use to that kind of sadness by now, with all the moving I've done.With this time though it's different. It's not just me anymore It's me and my wife. Granted we talked about it and discussed extensively the pros and cons. Overall, we felt moving would be best for us in the long run; but it doesn't take over the fact it still hurts. This time a little more than others because I know that was my last time leaving Vegas move wise, like I won't be moving back. On one hand that scares me. On the other it means I've grown as a man. Ready to take on what life throws at me and my wife in stride and see our success progress day to day.
As these blogs occur you will slowly but ultimately see progression in our lives. That of course is the point of these. However, I don't know if I have explicitly said it up to this point, yet I am now. There are going to be challenges, and mistakes, and arguments, but as long we push through and push through together you will see it's not so bad when you're surrounded by the ones you care for most.
