Let's see:  I'm still stationed in D.C., still living in Northern VA.  I still don't like the command, but I'm dealing with it.  I have less than nine months until I transfer, and then it's back to the Middle East.  Good times.  On the 7^th of July, Rea and I will have been married for four months.  On the 7^th of July, she be in her twentieth week of pregnancy.  Wait, did I forget to tell some people that she is pregnant?  Well….yeah, she's baking a baby, heh.  We found out about two weeks after we eloped.  In about a week, we'll try to find out the sex.  I almost missed seeing the kid on the sonogram, because my nose was buried in a graphic novel, lol!  Typical Ball, aye?  I've also felt the baby move, which was freaking incredible!  It's been a pretty typical pregnancy for Rea, with cravings and stuff.  The only difference is that when she craves something, but the time I get what she's craving, her craving has passed.  Kkkkhhhhhaaaannnnn!!!!!!  We went down to Miami to visit my Mom and we told her, my step-father, my brothers, and my sister-in-law while we were eating at a Chinese buffet.  After we told them, there was a good 5 minutes of disbelief, lol!

Work has been about the same, the usual poo.  I've done a couple of missions with the Regional Security Force, and those were cool.  Other than that, not much new with work.  In the fourteen years I've been in the Navy, this command is by far the worst one I've been at, and I was stationed in the Middle East for two and a half years!!  You would think that a command smack dab in the middle of the Nation's capital would be super squared away, what with all the high ranking officials that come to the base daily, but not a chance.  No training, shite ass equipment, and some of the people that work here (DOD and Military) are freaking knuckle-heads.  NOT good times.

I've been working on trying to live a healthier eating lifestyle instead of dieting.   I try to eat clean during the week, eating smaller meals every 3 hours.  I have a cheat day on one of my days off.  It's not easy, I'll tell ya.  Cutting out soda is one of the harder things I've had to do, and I fall off the wagon every so often, lol.  On the physical part of living a healthier lifestyle, I'm taking Krav Maga classes.  For those that don't know, it's an Israeli self defense system, and it's a real ass kicker, physically and aerobically, lol!  I'm also hitting the gym on base, lifting weights and working on my cardio.

Well, that's about it for my third blog of 2008, leave me comments, hate mail, whatever.  Just leave me something.  KKKKKHHHHHAAAAAANNNNNNN!!!!!!!
