Semi-Annual Update

random thoughts / By

So its been a while. Here are some updates.

I started a new job at Cerner in April.

I lost 20 lbs in jan-feb. I have since gained 10 of it back due to feet injuries sidelining my exercise.

I got my ham radio license and have been starting to play around with that.

I went to WLC in April for the Army.

We finished one room in the basement before Julie came to visit for 2 weeks in August.

Belle is growing so fast and talking with new words everyday.

This summer has been filled with alot of car repairs. No fun.

Check Amy’s blog for more detailed and regular updates. http://www.wifehatmomhat.com

Maybe I will start blogging more.

Back to Civilian Life…

Army Life, random thoughts / By

So I’m back from 9 months of training with the army. If you want to know what it was like, go join the army. Or just ask me sometime and I’ll be glad to tell you some stories.
So I am back home and adjusting to my civilian life. This includes, but is not limited to the following: not exercising every morning at 5am, having 2 kids now, going back to work, going to army drill once a month, driving my car again, working on the house and other projects in my free time, and trying to limit my intake of caffeine among many other things.
So if I haven’t said hi or got a chance to hang out with you yet, give me a few more days or better yet call me. I’d be glad to do whatever. I’m still playing catch-up on my life.
Thats all for now. Later.

The House is Finished

Family, random thoughts / By

We closed on the re-finance of our house today. I now have a very affordable house payment at a great fixed rate. It is nice to have the stability.

Finally, all the long hard work has come to a end since we started in July. We moved in a few months ago after fixing the house up, and it now feels like our home.

I would like to say thank you to everyone who helped work on our house during these last 6 months. I am very grateful to all our friends and family for giving of your time and effort.

Thanks specifically to:

Michelle, Johne, Craig, Brandon, Margaret, Brad, Tammy, Forrest, Joe, Linda, HanNah, and everyone else who helped out.

All of your hard work has resulted in us having a wonderful home. You all are welcome any time to come over and hang out.

We are planning to have a open house sometime in the next month. We will let everyone know the details.
