Potato Chips

While at the USS New Jersey Ken walked up to this light, plugged it in and then said "Hey this works." Ken immediately started talking to passing boats. We were all laughing so hard and he didn't know I was filming in the beginning.

USS New Jersey

Tracey, Lou, Ken, Chris and I took the train to see the USS New Jersey. Chris has been looking at pictures from last summer when we went and wanted to go again. We took a self guided tour and had a ball. The first few pictures we are waiting for the train. I was really surprised Chris had as much fun as he did.

After the tour of the battleship we went on a 4-D simulator ride and were flying a WWII plane. I didn't tell Chris what it was before hand because I didn't think he would go on the ride. He didn't quite understand that we were on a ride and asked at one time if the plane was going down and then told me he wanted to go home. Great....I hope he doesn't have nightmares now. He said he liked the ride when we were done though.

Hope you enjoy the pictures.


The Next Challenge

So yesterday, my Realtor called and informed me that my condo has depreciated in value. He suggested that I wait a while to sell my house, because right now I will loose A LOT!!! So right now I am trying to figure out how I can afford to keep my condo and live in Milwaukee. The only option I can see for now is to rent it out. Which has problems in it's own right.

In addition I have found out that I may not get transfer ed to Milwaukee, anytime soon. Basically Milwaukee Airport was looking for some part-time Customer Service Agents, but since I waited to long to put in for the transfer, they hired people for the positions. So now I have to wait to see if any of those people have brains between their ears and quit or if they don't they get disqualified.

And I have been looking for a new job in Milwaukee and I'm running into a wall. As far as the paralegal gig goes, I have to have experience to get a job and I can not get experience with out a job! The circle is NEVER ENDING!

On the bright side I have gotten my house the way I want it and now I can enjoy it a little bit. I know things will eventually work them selves out, I just wish they would soon! So I can get on with my next challenge....the roll of Step-Mom!

Waiting

We are waiting for the movers to get here and start packing. We will officially be cell phone only in a few hours. We also won't have our Internet. Wish us luck and safe travels!!!! I will be in NJ Sunday evening and Ken will hopefully arrive the following weekend. I don't know when we will be in Delaware because we do not have anywhere to live yet. So you may not hear from us for about a week or so. Bye Bye!

Quick Reminder

I just wanted to let everyone know really quick that the movers will be here to pack our house on Monday and Tuesday. Therefore, we will only be available by cell phones after Monday. I am pretty sure most people have both numbers but check and if you don't send an email or call. Remember that we won't have email either after Monday! We will be leaving in 9 days!

I had to say my first goodbye yesterday! I really hate saying bye to friends but at the same time I am looking forward to getting back to the east coast. We will meet Ken's uncle for dinner this Friday, then a group of friends for dinner this Saturday, Chris's friend will be here for a quick visit (from Korea) on Wednesday and finally Ken has a dinner planned with his coworkers next Saturday. I think that will be the end of all the goodbyes and finally on to the exciting part of the move....all the hellos!
