that's my boy...

as you may have already guessed...we're having a boy...i'm pretty stoked about the whole situation...i would love to have a girl but it sure is exciting to think about having "my boy"...he'll throw the touchdown passes and i'll stand in the crowd and yell, "that's my boy!!"...it should be a great time...

i'm working on posting an ultrasound picture but i don't have a scanner right now...

i started my new job at PG&E on friday...it was very different from the unique world of truss manufacturing...basically the tattoos per capita were much lower...not quite as low as maybe a bank or something but lower than i was used to...as part of my training i am leaving to go to livermore tomorrow...i will spend the week there and come back on friday...this would be great but we are closing escrow on our house this week, so that leaves a lot for my beautifully pregnant wife to take care of...

i know i am sounding like the boy who cried wolf here but stay tuned for a strong week of blogs...i am going to be pretty bored while i'm out of town so i should be full of stuff to write.

by the way...as always check out gene's blog...he's on an awesome road trip.

so many things to talk about

so, as the title suggests, we have so many things to talk about...

-our house will be finished on june 26th...which also happens to be our three-year wedding anniversary...so that's good news.

-jamie and i are having our first child in november (also good news). the only question is...will it be "little casey" or "little jamie"??? that question should get answered in the next few weeks...stay tuned for the big announcement.

-after spending the past year driving to visalia for work, i have decided to stop. in two weeks i will start at pg&e. i'll basically be doing the same thing that jamie does but on the electric side of things. so we're pretty excited about that.

-i was thinking, "hey, gas is expensive and if i'm not gonna drive to visalia anymore, why do i need a car??" so my idea is to buy one of these bad boys:

jamie thinks i'm joking...but i may not be...

-my (sort of) cousin/friend grant is moving back to minnesota...it is a sad time for everyone...thought i'd let you know since i devoted a whole post to him and his state

-my friend/buddy gene has completed his album that he has been working on for basically forever...check it out here...it's grrrr-eat (tony the tiger...you don't hear that much anymore)

hopefully my blog will evolve into something more than just a news report...i'm working on that
