April & May 2014 Update

Great time of the year with summer upon us, Stanley Cup play-offs, and baseball in full swing!

The days are some of the longest of the year which means extra time hanging with my 21 month old son in the back yard playing catch and goofing around.  That is what life is all about and why I am trying my best to achieve FI.
