There was a Fortune area in front of the temple, and for $1.00, you can pick a chop stick out of a box, track the symbol on the stick to a box, and take out your fortune.
Dave gets a Bad Fortune!
Oh no! So you take your bad fortune and wrap it up tie it to a metal rod, where they will burn it later.
I also got a bad fortune.Looking for the box that matches the stick symbol. But guess who got a good fortune!Katrina, she got a good fortune! Actually the BEST Fortune! All the rest of us fated a bad fortune. Sabrina wants me to point out, she did not get a fortune.
Were a Metro Detroit, Michigan, couple – second marriages for both of us – and we dream of retiring early to Travel the World. Follow us while we try and figure out to raise our kids, and save to retire.
David is a Robot Programmer, Laura is a Medical Physicist. We put our kids before ourselves for years, saved and ate at home and now after years of all this sacrifice and raising our kids - we are closing in on empty nesting, and we realized we have the opportunity to retire earlier than most and follow our dreams to travel the world.
How are we going to do this? Well we have a lot of ideas, but lets see how it works out. Our original retirement date was January 1, 2021. We are reviewing the option of working another 3 years but prefer to keep the 2021 date, either way we will be retired by 55 years old - still trying to figure out how, but working toward our goal everyday, while enjoying each other and our blended family.
Follow us to see what happens.

Hi Dave and Laura, No one wants a Bad Fortune and it even costs money:) Fun and interesting:)
No kidding, but Katrina got the best fortune, and boy was she on top of the world over that, so for me I’m happy, and it made it all worth it for sure.
Yeah no kidding, were going out I dinner tonite, just us. We try and take a kid out often just by themself. So they get alone time with us, so I will be tonite 😁
