Home Update

We did not get the first home. The owners would not come down enough on the price. We had a second home in mind, so yesterday we placed a bid on that one. The first home we bid on didn't need any work; the second home needs some TLC, which is right up our ally. Hopefully, we will get it. We'll let you know. Becky and I are on our way to Waffle House for a little alone time - I know, I know - I am so romantic.

Family Update

Hey everyone! I am off to Commissioned Officer Training ("COT") in a few days. Please beware, this websites use of acronyms will steadily increase. I'll be in Montgomery, AL for four weeks before returning to Pensacola, FL to pack a U-Haul and drive 1400 miles to Schriever Air Force Base in Colorado. We will arrive in Colorado about the First of May.

We placed a bid on a house today. Real estate bidding is so boring. Faxing paper back and forth is hardly a way to negotiate. Though it forces you to look at the facts you have and determine the other party's status without the ability to read their face. It is hard to judge the human element with no human subject.

Becky is 17 weeks along today!!! I am looking forward to finding out if our child is a male or female. Notably, my excitement has a lot to do with the fact that I want to pick out a name. I am really excited about picking out our second child's name. It is the first opportunity I have to shape the life of my children...so it is a daunting, yet exciting, task.

I am a little nervous about joining the Air Force. I waited so long for this day...and here it is. No time for second thoughts (mostly because I already signed my Oath). Well, next time you see me I will be in uniform - with short hair.
