Be Decisive!

Very few people have accused be of decision paralysis. In fact stubbornness to change my decision is a possible faw.
After dating for a few months I had a discussion with my Pop that went something like this:
Me- Pop, I can't wait for you to meet her. I love her.
Pop- Ok, well will she say yes?
Me- Yes.
Pop- Buy her a ring son.
Me: No money.
Pop: Christmas is soon.
At Christmas that year my grand parents liquidated there estate and gave each grandchild $$$. All of us had different needs but my mind was set on a ring.
So I bought one. It almost burned a hole in my pocket twice but my dads rule was that I had to have job before I could ask. It took me a few months to decide the first indications of a soft market was coming and I needed to get any job I could. After finding a job with BBG, doing what I grew up doing, I asked her. Although it took some time to get there my mind had never waivered from my resolve to marry Kelly. The timeline, meeting in September buying a ring in January, is proof of my resolve.

Things I learned during this time frame: persistence, decisiveness, and hard work. It took months to find an opportunity but it was all worth it when the plan came together.
