I have been contemplative lately with where I am in my life today compared to where I was 5 years ago. I just celebrated my 5 year anniversary with my wife and realized that the goals that I had set when we got married I am no closer than I was that day.
A few months ago a motivational speaker was invited to come to a meeting that I was attending and brought some things to my attention that has had me thinking.
How many days of our lives do we live for the sake of getting through our day without considering our goals? Sometimes I feel as though I have no control over over my life because I have not set any short term goals. So I challenge whoever is reading this to answer these two questions.
1. What can I do today to get me closer to the goals that I have set for my life?
2. What are short-term goals that I can set to get me closer to the big goals in my life?
This is homework for myself. I have been procrastinating but will now work on this.

So after some serious thought and consideration I will be starting a new job today. I will be a barista at Starbucks Coffee. It is only a part time job for now.
Rachael and I decided to bring her home back in December after she finished her nannying job that she had. We found that we would save money if we brought her home instead of putting Will and Seth in child care.
I still have my job for CGA selling print but will be picking up some evening hours to bring home some more $$.
This will most likely not help my addiction! Good thing is now I will be getting a discount.

I posted blogs here a couple years ago and decided that I needed to get back to it! Since I last posted my family has grown by one. Back when I started posting my son Will was a handful of weeks old. We now have another son Seth that is 7 weeks old and Will is now two and a half.

My wife Rachael and I feel that our family finally feels like a unit. Does that mean that we are done with kids? We're not sure but we are leaving the option out there for now. We are still in our mid-twenties and have many "productive" years to go.

My main reason for blogging again was for family and friends to hear what is going on in my life and in my head. I created the name for my blog Daily Tune because if you know me you understand how important music is to me. And whether good or bad there is always a daily tune that goes with my day.
