Final

This is the last half of my last week of math. It is a great time. I'm almost finished with my final test, and then I won't have to do math for at least a while. Not sure how long that while is, but it's at least a month and probably more like....well I don't know, but not for a while.

Only one month and four days until I step foot in San Antonio. It is really exciting to move. As Katie was saying our house will soon never look as good as it always has. It's about to get CRAZY. But that's good. That will mean we are out of here.

Alright, well I really don't have much to say, so I reckon I'll be going.

Ok, I'm out

later


Oh here's a photo of me and Tracy and frasher aka thrasher....or from right to left me, frasher, and Tracy, and I think that is ermin's shoulder.... the building behind Tracy is the one we have been staying in since the other one in the picture we had to move out of since someone else is moving in. Oh and this was taken a few months back, when it was summer. I know lots of run-ons. I'm out.

Time is slllloooowwwwww

Oh well, it's always like that when you are excited for something that is still a month away. However, I am really just happy to be leaving soon, so another month will definitely not kill me.
On a more fun note, I think I have narrowed down my bike search to these three. The Honda Shadow Spirit, the Honda Shadow VLX or the Kawasaki Vulcan 750.
They are all cruiser style bikes and not too big. A pretty good size learner bike I reckon. Anyway, all these models are relatively inexpensive, and the reviews I've read are all great.
Well that's all I've got to say about that.

I would pull my hair out.....

But then what would have been the point of me growing it out.
Anyway, today we went to The Bowl. Probably the greatest chinese food place in all of the UK. We went down there with our friends Tracy and Keith. It was great fun. Plus the food was good, as always...although I only ate two and a half plates, a small amount in comparison to previous trips. Then we came home and I started working on my blog again. Which is why I want to pull out my hair. I have been trying to figure out how to put drop shadows and other stuff and it is just not working. Anyway, long story short, I just posted and republished my blog as is, seeing how it would probably be 2012 before i get it how I want it.
We made a list of all the stuff we want to airship to San Antonio. It's making me get even more feeling like we are leaving soon. DUH! It's only a month and a week away, but you know what I mean.
So we did that and then we have to look for an apartment to stay in for a month or two until we can get moved into our home.
Alright well, my brain keeps shooting out things for me to say/write, but I reckon I run on enough when I'm not tired, so I should probably just go to bed.

I do want to shout out to Uncle Rick and Denise. I saw your blog, and although it's gross seeing older people kiss, that was a cool picture.

Your attention please

I just want to fix any misunderstanding.....although the housing market is good in San Antonio, no one reading this blog will have the pleasure of staying in a sweet place like the house posted below while visiting Justin or katie in the aforementioned city, that is, unless you rent mentioned house or one in its likeness, in which case Justin and katie will quickly abandon their home for the rental.
However y'all are welcome to come stay in our slightly....or greatly smaller home upon written request and verification of identity and true relation to Justin and Katie. Along with the written request a credit check and a cleaning deposit will be made prior to any visit to the Myers' residence at least 30 days in advance.
Thank you for your understanding, and have a great day.



The Management

You stay classy San Diego. I'm Ron Burgundy?

Yeah that has nothing to do with what I am posting, but hey it's a great movie line and a great movie. We should watch it sometime again eh, zach and marla?
So what I really want to write about is the fun I'm having trying to figure out HTML and web design. It's really fun, but for some reason I am not good at it. Mostly because I don't know html, but you know that just a minor problem....
Anyway I have made a few new buttons, but I can't figure out how to get them without the outline. I would just like to have my buttons and that's it. Also I want to figure out how to make the button look as though you pressed it. So if you know how to, I would greatly appreciate some shared knowledge.
Alright well not much is happening on this side of the Ocean, except for the days are getting way short. It kinda stinks. I was doing some homework when I noticed that outside was pitch dark. Yet when I looked at the clock it was only 7:35. Kind of a bummer. Oh well we'll be gone soon enough.

¡Nada mucho hoy!

I went to work today at the coffee shop, like always, which was just about as much fun as always. That's ok, because next weekend is my last weekend there. After that I will be able to have a real weekend, and relax. Not that I'm trying to get too much sympathy, seeing how I got the job, not like it was forced on me or something. Anyway so I went to work, and then came home and mowed the lawn and then did some homework. Weirdly enough, I am starting to somewhat enjoy this math class. I never thought I would say that, but I figured out this web-based tutorial deal, and now it is kinda fun to practice math.
Anyway then the bean and I took a stroll around base, or should I say a long march..... j/k, now I am getting ready to go watch some football with some of the guys from work.

Basically I am just killing some time before I go, so I hope this didn't bore you too much.

And I just thought I would tell zach that his pool is the coolest. If you haven't checked it out he posted it on his blog.

Loans and money and craziness

So I figured since I have been on a roll with posting, that is three whole days in a row, I thought I would make today lucky number four.
So we went through the process of getting pre-approve for a mortgage today. We won't know for a few days how much we are approved for, but at least that's one step out of the way.

I am really thankful that we have USAA, they are a great company. We have joined, if that is the right word, a program that will give us a Real Estate Coordinator and Loan Counselor, in which they will give us advice and tips on how to buy the house and take care of all the closing process. It relieves all the stress that I had about moving.... or at least a good chunk of it.



Anyway we also got our official orders today, so now we can begin the grueling process of checking out of this base and moving to the most awesome and cool state in the Great USA, TEXAS. It shall be great. We chose a day to pack out the house and then I got my plane ticket to leave here. By the way I will be leaving here on November fourth.

We are very excited and ask y'all to pray especially for our house hunting and that we will be able to find a place very soon after we arrive in San Antonio. Also that we find an affordable and reliable car or truck when we get there.

SPAM

Although I don't know why SPAM is so good. I decided to make a post dedicated to the beloved "meat" of my dearest Walker family. The following list will show spam for its TRUE worth and uses.

1. Used for chocking wheels of cars or trucks in order to keep them in place.
2. Feeding fish at the zoo.
3. Special lunch room meals where they can't find the other mystery meat.
4. As a flotation device in case of crash water landing.
5. A weapon in case of burglary.
6. Can be used when you have guests that stay too long. Just pop Spam onto skillet and turn on stove.
7. When changing a tire, Spam is good for putting you car up on blocks.
8. When bored Spam can be used as an alternate frisbee.
9. For poor schools Spam will substitue clay for art class.


Hopefully after reading this post the Walker family will realized that Spam is just not meant to be eaten...... Unless you really like it and then I guess it's ok.....

Another Day

Well last night we looked at some houses in San Antonio, and I'm pretty excited. I mean I know there is a ton to do and lots of questions to ask and get answered, but on the whole I am optimistic that it is going to be a great time there, even for just a year....possibly more. I just went on Google maps and found out where Olive Garden and Wal-mart are in comparison to where one of the cool houses we looked at are. They are 3.6 miles and 6 miles respectively.
This should be great. Anyway, I just thought I should be updating my blog seeing as everyone else does it. And well, if everyone else is doing it, then so should I!

Why doesn't God just use the telephone

You know I think life would be much easier if say God would just pick up the phone and dial my number. I mean He knows everything so He should just be able to call me. Or maybe He is tech-savvy and He could call us on Skype.
I say all this just because sometimes it is hard trying to make big decisions, say like buying a house. I know that the benefits are great to owning a house, but all the things that go with it. One major one is a JOB! I mean I would rather not work, but I think the mortgage people may have a problem if I ask them to stop asking for money when I still owe them money.
Oh well I'm sure we'll figure this out, but man it sure is difficult right now.
Ok well just pray for us when you think about us and I'm sure God will take care of us, and pray I will not stress in a bad way over this, cuz I tend to do that every now and again.

On a good note the 49ers won yesterday. Good way to start the season eh?

Oh what a sweet vacation

Well we just got back....a couple days ago now. Our internet is on the fritz again. Anyway our trip was great! We mostly laid around on the beach. It was great though, getting away from work and everything, just hangin out. This has to be our best trip ever! We even got to play putt-putt golf. Of course I won because I am the man...

The views were great. I wish we had more time to walk down more of the beaches and cliffs so we could take tons more pictures.
I'll try to include some other photos than the ones katie used so you can see more of our cool trip.

The top photo is a shot from the cliffs but further east.... or should I say directly behind where we took the photos of the sunset.
The next photo is the view from our second floor, which was really the third floor, by the way we took the stairs to get a little exercise while we were there, anyway this is the pool and then further out is the beach we hung out on.
And the last photo is another one of the sunset. It is just such a beautiful sight, that I couldn't take enough photos. If you want to see more just tell me, I've got tons.
Hope you guys can at least enjoy some of this scenery as the photos don't do the real scenes justice as to how awesome they really were.

SPAIN

As you can see from bean's blog, we are going to Menorca. The smaller island of the Baeleric island chain. Hence "menor"ca. There is also Majorca or another pronuciation Mallorca, which is the bigger island, and then you have Ibiza, not sure what that means but oh well.
It should be great. It is our last big trip in this crazy place. But this should be the best so I'm totally stoked. There's just something about the beach, the sun and a book that just makes me totally happy and relaxed. I think if I could retire to a place where I could sit on the beach all day would be the most perfect way to get old. I love the ocean...or in this case the Mediterranean.
Have a good weekend and we'll talk to you later.
Oh and in case you read this weeze your dog is so cool. It makes me want one even more. =)!!!!
