It was all for good reason though, as I will tell you. Firstly, I have been working crazy hours. I started working 4 days a week with 10-12hr days. Great, loved it, 3 day weekends! Then the out-of-town days started, and at first it was great as well - new food, little extra money, not bad. Well, now I am working 5 days a week, 10-12hr days in a hotel 5 days a week. Ouch. No love for the car, and very little time/energy to post in the forums unfortunately. This has all enabled me to save up some well earned money, however.
About a month ago, I took my girlfriend-no-more to a fancy restaurant, walk along a beach and read her a poem I wrote, so I could give her this shiny non-car-go-fast-part and asked her to marry me. Clearly because of my romantic ability and charming good looks she accepted on the spot.
Now the rest of my time/energy/money has gone into the next step (well besides a wedding). We're looking for a house! Going to be VERY frugal for the next year so we can afford house/wedding and all that good stuff. I will let you all know where the knew home will be when the time comes!
