Happy New Year and Decade Highlights

Hi everyone,

We are about to bring this decade and year to a close, so a happy New Year from me.

I have begun to start making goals for the new year, 2010, then I thought, “What about writing down all the good things that have happened over the year and decade.”

This decade brought us 3 children, another house to live in, and some new financial opportunities.

So here are the highlights of the decade:

2000 – I become a trainer at “Computer Technology Research Education Center”, CTREC.
2001 – I start full time contract work at Centerpoint Energy.
2002 – We have our 3rd child, Gabriela, in August.
2003 – My dad built an addition onto our small 1st house on Maribelle Way.
2004 – We have our 4th child, Josiah, in January, and we move to our 2nd house in November.
2005 – I have my head surgery.
2006 – My first book, a supernatural book, “A Light in the Midst of Darkness” is published.
2007 – I started contract work with Shell Oil & Gas.
2008 – I started contracting work with Geokinetics.
2009 – Our 5th child, Clarissa, was born in September.

Financially, we stair stepped from:

2000 – $25.00/hr (full time)
2001 – $27.50/hr (contract)
2007 – $50.00/hr (contract)
2008 – $60.00/hr (contract)

My goal for 2010 is $300,000 for the year. I believe I have laid the foundational work in 2007-2009.

I believe I have maxed out what I can make an hour so I have set my sights on alternative forms of income generation, and those on the internet.

The internet is a “powerhouse” because you have access to the eyeballs that you would not ordinarily have access to.

Here are our 1990-1999 stats, since I never did these:

1990 – Adriana and I graduate from High School. She’s a Spring Woods graduate, I’m a Stratford graduate.
1991 – I started “Texas Bible College”. I was mowing lawns, and living at home.
1992 – I started working at WW Grainger, in a warehouse ($8.50/hr).
1993 – Adriana and I get married in November. We bought house #1 on an assumption in October.
1994 – I graduated from “Texas Bible College” in June.
1995 – 1996 – We did a lot of youth work with and inner city youth ministry, Hope for Youth and home bible studies these years.
1997 – We have our 1st child, Kayla, in July.
1998 – I would only take a computer related job, and got hired by CTREC, “Computer Technology Research Education Center”. I was working as an inventory clerk ($11.50/hr)
1999 – We have our 2nd child, Jonathan, in February.

Have a healthy and prosperous new year and I wish you the best for this decade.
