My Eric

Man I miss this boy but he's off floating in the big blue sea for the Navy.

Deployment

Eric left for a 7 month (ish) deployment today. This one will be different than the last one. This time I'm working and going to school with my family in Michigan. We will survive like we have every other underway and time apart. Unfortunately at this point, this won't be our last deployment. As of today, he will be transferring next May to one of the Frigates out of Everett which guarantees him another 4-6 month deployment with the new ship :(
Goals for this deployment:
Pay off the truck
Email Eric lots

I love you Eric!

Sailboat

Here's Eric's new pride and glory, 1974 Venture Sailboat

mokercycle

My first motorcycle, Yamaha DT 125A, its more of a dirt bike but its street legal and doesn't look like a dirt bike too much. But for $900, how can I complain? I need to do some tinkering and will want to replace the starter in the long run, but I'm in love. We are currently using the kickstart to run it, but it'd be nice to have a push on button too. We took it to our cousin Jeff and Shelli's this weekend and he got the throttle fixed. He is going to make sure that its 100% for me and hopefully its good to go when we bring it home this week so I can take it to my safety course on the 14th. I am excited to learn and enjoy my little toy.

Train Museum

We also happened to stumble across a train graveyard, called museum.

Snoqualmie Falls

We went to Snoqualmie Falls last Friday. Did you know it is 100 ft taller than the famous Niagra Falls?

Eric's Leave

'

Eric and I have been doing a few activities while he's on leave. We went to Shelli's this weekend and Jeff took us fishing. It was originally going to be just boys but they invited me and Im not about to turn down time with my boy!
