life so far.
Well since my last update, I have re-enlisted for M6 options I will be in San Antonio for the better part of 2013. After that who knows. I do know that I am ready for a change in units. I wonder what school will be like.

Having fun in Alaska
We are at the point where we have a working house and have guests. Only the basement and spare room have some boxes left over. Christine and I still want to paint the floor of the basement with that chalk paint so Nathan can write over it. He has a large enough pay space to use his out door toys ( Read more... )
