AU, if you are semi retired in 15 years I’ll take you to Perry’s steak house and buy you a ribeye 😀 If you plan on having kids you can kiss that 15-20 year plan out the window. They are more expensive than you could ever imagine. The Spirit of God has made me; the breath of the Almighty gives me life. Job 33:4

Had a friend who's Dad worked for oil & gas company in TX who hired me right out college. Moved to TX and stayed 16yrs. Stayed 4 yrs with 1st company then went to work for another company in the oil and gas, then left and started a contractor business until my current company and owner ask me to close my shop and come on board. I often think back on my visions for that company, and where it might today but after 24 yrs with my current employer I have no regrets. I was able to help him build his business and we have been bought 2 times in last 8yrs. It's been a good ride !

Not the most exciting job in the world, but very rewarding and validating at times.
