I can almost see retirement.
I won't say that "I'm almost there." because I can't stand that saying when I am still so far away.
The decision is to go out in
FIVE month
or
ONE year and FIVE months
or
stick it out until my 30 years are up in
TWO years and FIVE months.
As with most people, health insurance is the clincher.
Once Doran retires, we lose our health insurance.
Doran will wait until I retire before he does.
Today he received an award at work for 40 years of service. Not many people can say they have been at their job for that long. I am so proud of him and so grateful that he has been such a dedicated provider for all these years! We aren't rich but we aren't in need.
I can't wait to wake up NOT to an alarm.
I can't wait to wake up WITH my best friend by my side.
I want to put more energy into:
exercise
quilting
baking
traveling
camping
hiking
a mission
yard work
gardening
and just anything that involves spending more time with Doran.
Yep, THAT is something that I am looking forward to.
