HELLO ALL!!!
how embarrassing... at the top of my login page says i havent been here since june 28, 2008. ive been out of the loop for far too long.
IM COMING THIS YEAR!!! WOO HOO!!!!
...am still working out with the old lady what day we can come down... its looking like getting there thursday evening, leaving sunday morning/afternoon.
heres an update if anybody is interested or was wondering what rock ive been hiding under. august 2008 i purchased my first house (at the age of 23) for my future wife melanie and stepdaughter julia. i got married to mel on sept 14 (the day of the only hurricane to hit ohio, thanks Ike). we drove off in the scrambler of coarse in good fashion and it DIDNT let me down on the way to the honeymoon! had no power at wedding/reception/honeymoon. and continued to have to charge my flashlights and cellphone at work for the next 7 days. in january 2009 i lost my job at Sweco due to the economy and struggled to get anything accomplished and pay bills for the next 8months. we got taken to court by julias biological father who was vagrant for the first 5 years of her life, so julia had to adjust to seeing him more often and we had to adjust to giving her up. {short side story for those who dont know, melanie got pregnant while a sophmore in high school, she graduated a year early and finished college by the age of 21, i came along right when julia was about to turn 3 and fell in love with both of them}. melanie has had it worse though, she has 3 college degrees from Miami U and is waiting tables at the local mexican restaurant because there are no zoological jobs to be found within 250 miles and in february she got t-boned in her cherry red 92 YJ by a 99 mustang power sliding through a red light at 50mph- no one got seriously hurt thank God. so all in all not a very blissful first year of marriage. obviously the 6th annual SOA scramber in hot springs was out of the question. im SOOOO mad i didnt get to go and missed out on meeting Ian from extreme4x4 and possible getting a split second of tv time. i scored a job at Rhinestahl in august 2009 fabricating tooling as the OEM mfg to GE Aviation. very exciting sounding, but the money and hours per week just wasnt there. i got a call back from Sweco in march 2010, so i have been back to work and working roughly 60 hours a week trying to play catchup with creditcard debt accrued over the last 14 months. so things are finally looking up for us, i managed to keep the marriage and the house despite the finacial hardships. some more good news, the insurance company gave us $4700 for the $1000 jeep that got totalled. so we went out and got a '02 WJ overland so we could tow the scrambler!
i look forward to seeing friendly faces and skinny dipping in water crossings! see you all in june!
