Oh, oops I'm a supporter now, So I can say whatever I want now right??? Just kidding.... But the boys in Iraq are doing a swell job. Wish I could go witht the Marines and wipe them all out but I guess they have a problem with criminal records nowadays. And I would have been a great combat soldier. Oh well, maybe in the next life.

I have no complaints about my income, like I said, it's sufficient, it's just the commute and some of the crap I have to deal with, being a certified welder doing carpentry and all.

Until the kid is born, we need to stay in Kitsap County for county-run health insurance. We're both seriously looking at a move to northern Idaho, around Sand Point sometime next summer as well. Might get bumped up a bit if I find a good job there and a decently cheap place to live.

Looking back on those years of new kids, moving often, renting and scraping dimes together it was not such a good or easy time. So how come that's the best memories? Youngdumbandfullofchowder i guess...
G'luck with a new job, the move to Idaho, and most of all the New Baby
