I'm Sorry...I promise.

I know I know...More posting less...whatever I do!

I haven't posted because 1. I have been pretty busy with work(and other MORE entertaining endevours;) and 2. you guessed it...I am just plain old lazy.

So what has kept me so busy...?

First is work! The guys with the 10 Lbs brains have been here all week doing upgrades and such. It has been kind of frustrating because they were just tweaking things without telling us what they were doing. That, luckily, is over now as they have left so we can put all the settings back to how we want them!


I have also been put in charge of the 63 Radar. This is pretty sweet because it is a lot more mechanical than 59 which is controlled mostly by software. the downside to this is that I haven't worked on the 63 since...well probably Radar School 2 years ago. It has been a slow process re-aquainting myself with this Korea Era beast but I have no doubt that in the end I will be as effiecent on it as I have become on the 59.


Second is working out. Can anybody say Cardio, Cardio, Cardio. The Marine Corps standards have become even more strict and I am about 3 lbs overweight. We all hate the weight standards...until we see a really fat soldier, sailor, airman or worst of all Marine. So I have tried to stop my complaining and have started hitting the cardio machines(and the pavement) with a renewed purpose.
Last but not least...Sweet Audi! I have been spending the majority of my time off(all of it) with Autumn. Sounds corny but I find myself getting butterflies everytime she comes to get me from base. I love being with her...and even better she returns the feelings..I have this song running through by head all day, "I should be sleepin, stead of dreamin about you."




I have often made fun of my brothers for falling so deeply and hard for a women that they have only know for a short while. I must admit that I have fallen very hard for this cute little thing I call my girlfriend!

In other news Denver weather is even more retarded than Idaho weather. With a high of 80 degrees on sunday the weathermen have been calling for snow all week. Wednesday we are told that we are supposed to get between 2 and 14 inches of snow. I don't know how you can predict snow with a foot difference possiblity...but whatever. We are told that we will have thursday off due to the possible crappy weather. So naturally we go out wednesday night to celebrate. We also had a birthday to celebrate see it was just plain lucky

We were out until about 2 am and still no snow...we thought that there was no possible way we would get any snow, let alone 14 inches...little did we know. By ten we had a couple of inches on the ground but nothing serious so I went to get my car towed to a mechanic. by noon the roads were so bad that 15 MPH was the top speed on base and 10 was about average.

crazy weather...I just want it to be summer already!!!

I wouldn't call choosing to hang out with Autumn instead of blogging laziness, it is plain old prioritizing...and now that we all know what your priority is, you are forgiven.

Sorry about the stinky weather...same story here, just not the high and low extremes.

Mike gave his 2 weeks. He is going to be spending a lot of time in Denver for the next few months (like 2 weeks at a time), so one of the times the kids and I will probably join him. Is there any way I could twist your arm to get a tour of the base, your radars and, meet this girl that gives you butterflies?? :D

You make a cute couple and she seems to make you smile.

Like Kate says--it's all about priorities.

Johnny my boy,

Can't wait to see you either. How fun to get to meet your girl.

Still can't tell you how often I think of you. Every time I see a Marine at the Embassy. We just had an Night time, Easter Egg Hunt(with flashlights) for the boys at the Marine House. I could totally see you living and loving a place like that. Shawn just shook his head and said it was unnecessary, but you could tell the Marines have it good.

I've heard there is a new great movie called North and South. I really wish I could see it. Better see it for me.

Love you 2!
