Good man.

The GF thing can be a good/bad thing I suppose. Everything happens for a reason!!

To be clear, I stumbled into the girlfriend well after the divorce... I was stoked being single, and wasn't looking for anyone. She was the same. Somehow we started dating.

I'm starting to believe that nobody is actually ready for a relationship until they don't really want one. Because this one has been great.

Good for you!

All my best and good luck with everything. I love my wife and family. Marriage isn't easy though. Thankfully, she's a BEAUTIFUL person inside and out.

Great future there. Maxing out retirement accounts (that mindset) at age 25 is FANTASTIC. First thing I learned upon landing in corporate America (one of the only good things):

Investor A starts at age 25 and saves $5,000/yr for 10 yrs. Stops at age 35.

Investor B starts at age 35 and saves $5,000/yr for 30 f'in years (3 times as much money!!)

Guess who has more at age 65?

Yep, investor A due to magic of compound interest. Today's overbearing lecture from Rob: Save early, save alot. When they give you the gate, make sure to leave with more than what you walked in there with...

A BP Believer with his finger on the nuclear trigger!!!

My dreams of realizing world domination just got a WHOLE lot closer...:) This is fantastic man. You're the key to my plan and we're going to publicize this every we can to hold hostage any pirating/anti-BP issues.

I need you to buy a BP Tshirt pronto and take a picture of you wearing it with your hand on the key!!!!

That would be classic! I will talk to my leadership and see what I need to do to get a photo in our launch simulator! Can't make any promises but never hurts to ask the question!

Please do.

Even a simulation in your house or something would be fantastic. That's going on my wall at work :)
