Indianer!


We took leave and made the 18 hour drive to "Befford" (Bedford), Indiana, Mandy's parent's homeland. Haven't done much here yet than help Mandy's parent's unpack and put stuff together in their very nice new house. Today we got out and rode the dirtbikes around, well actually she rode because I couldn't get the Yamaha to start. Honda Rules! Or so says Manda. When I get back from Bahrain I think I am going to get myself a KTM SX 450F. It's supa cool yo! The house sits on a 6 acre lot and is fun to hot rod around on. Here's a little piece of useless trivia- Befford is the Limestone capital of the world. The limestone from here was also used to build the Pentagon where Mandy's brother just so happens to work. Or more like sit around and surf the web while collecting a ridiculous government salary. My government salary however isn't so high class, but I do get 30 days paid vacation yearly. WooHooo! Mandy's plans for the six months that I'll be gone is to work fulltime at the hospital as a phlebotomist and part-time at Maurice's while going to school full-time to become a flight RN. At least that way she won't be spending all of my hard earned money. I take that back, she still probably will.

It's probably a good thing you couldn't start the Yamaha. You might have tried something crazy and "biffed it". The blog is great and I have it bookmarked to access quickly. I just added some new photos on our site. "Ma & Pa Travelers"
