    I just got a pretty heft raise and should be seeing the first bigger check around the middle of June.

    Good thing the check is getting bigger too because the bills aren't getting any smaller! Especially not with a house and a baby...

    For the record, I'm definitely not complaining about anything, I'm just realizing the value of saving up money before you need it, instead of spending every dime.

    I should be stuck here for at least 2 more years, but if I play my cards right, we could spend the rest of our time in CO.
    Anytime you want to get together, let me know. Tab is on me.


    I actually got a bit of a scare last week... I got a letter on my desk stating that I had been tasked to fill a deployment spot. Turns out they only need someone for that spot if we ramp up and start a new war or some nonsense. Whew! I would have been totally fine with a deployment a year ago, but babies are game changers, and now a deployment is the last thing I want!

    Alright, I'm gonna be up in 2 hours to feed the baby, but I don't want to be a zombie tomorrow.

    Take it easy Bob. Let me know about getting together sometime soon!
