Inaugural Post…Welcome to the Bushbaker Blog!!!
Welcome to the new personal weblog by Kevin Bushbaker. It is officially www.bushbaker.com. Simple, quick and very easy to remember. This is my first post of which I hope to have thousands more. This site will be a personal blog that focuses on the Bushbaker household here in Las Vegas. Yes, that’s right; we live in Sin City and I am still married! Can you believe it?
I joke about this, but living here with so much temptation all around is tough. My wife, Gail, and I are completely faithful and love each other to the max. However, there are tons of little things around Las Vegas that remind you that temptation is not far. We are not holy-rollers or have any extreme moral conviction, so don’t take this the wrong way. But we both abhor some of the stuff we see around the City. Both Gail and I like to drink; neither of us smoke or do any drugs; but we do like to have fun and go out on the town with friends when they are here.
Enough about that for the moment…I want to introduce you to this new blog. It is a personal account of our living in Las Vegas. We have been here for 3 years now and love it. The weather is great, we have several new friends, and the people (for the most part) are friendly and trying to get by with their life like AnywhereElse Town, USA.
I can’t wait to chat on all kinds of topics ranging from the living here in Vegas to everyday mundane stuff to my brand new baby boy. We love him to death and as of the timing of this first post, he is officially 5 weeks old. I will have tons of posts relating to the adoption process here in Nevada and how it so awesome.
Some of the main areas of my blogging focus will be:
1. Our amazing new little boy recently adopted April 2, 2008
2. Our thriving Craigslist business and eBay business
3. What is happening around the household
4. Personal finance and increasing our net worth
5. Kevin’s undying efforts to de-clutter his life
6. What it is like to live in Las Vegas
7. Hopefully visiting with as many of you as we can while you are in town
8. Running, biking and hiking around the southwest
9. Road trips to Southern California to visit the beach (I am water and wind – Gail is Earth and Fire and I need, not want, but NEED to visit the ocean several times a year)
10. What it was like growing up, living, loving, having all my friends and family, back in my hometown, Detroit, Michigan – I love Detroit, but what a mess right now!!!
11. Whatever else comes to mind
The Bushbaker blog site is selfish…no doubt. I want to learn as much as I can about myself and where I am going in life by reflecting on my observations and writings. I want to learn to write better and get feedback on it. If I can get readers to read and comment, I will learn and hopefully provide better content. It is all about having an open discussion on topics. I WANT everyone’s feedback and comments on things. If I am all wet on a topic and you need to correct me…do it. If you completely agree and want to comment…do that too. If you want a chance to be a guest writer, then send me an email…I want you there. I need to learn and be educated so I can teach the prodigy all about what to do in life and what not to do.
If you would like to know more about my profession and investing in the Las Vegas real estate market, feel free to contact me or visit my other incredible blog site Vegas Real Estate Guy. This site is so fun and so productive, I intend to keep all professional stuff away from personal blog and focus my real estate investment stuff (in the Las Vegas real estate market and real estate in general) to that site.
So, feel free to visit our two new blogs, read away, comment, criticize me (but not others on the site) and just have fun with it. I know I will.
Kevin
