Back to Civilian Life…

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

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.

The house is almost done. We hope to move in less than 2 weeks or so…

Jackson’s birthday party is tomorrow at noon. Lots of pics will end up on Amy’s facebook, and possibly my website if I get some free time.

Christmas list is up on my main page at derekcreason.com

Work is going good. Seems like everyone is getting over or getting a cold/flu.
