I named this blog years ago, but haven't posted.  Perhaps that is a good thing, due to the fact that the character of this blog is likely to be very different now than it was when I first had this idea pop into my head.

Apparently some people take issue with me because I don't have a reputation for being an incredibly positive person.  Believe me, I have my reasons.

My husband and I have been married for sixteen years.  If there is a theme for our marriage, it's that we have some of the worst timing.  As a result, things that appear to come easily for other couples have been filled with frustration and struggle for us.  But hey, that's what this blog is supposed to be about.

I have two degrees:  a B.A. in Psychology and a M.Ed. in Elementary Education, and my husband has a Bachelor's degree in an Allied Health field.  We've made so many of the right choices in life, even waiting to have a family when we should have been considered financially stable.  Well, once again, that doesn't happen for a couple with consistently bad timing.

On a positive note, we've achieved many of our major goals in our lives.  However, in this economy we are now live in constant fear that things are going to fall apart.  The "Great Recession" supposedly ended years ago, but for us things just seem to be getting worse.

The details are to come.  It's a story that just can't be summarized in a few paragraphs.  After all, whose can?
