Conratulations you baby happy freaks! Three Wachel kids, oh Lord! Have you thought of any names?
ZZ and I want another baby, hopefully a girl, but we'll be very happy either way. We've already named our, like, next twenty children or so. There's no way I'm having 21 kids, so we'll have to get dogs to use up all the names. 20 dogs. Yikes. Maybe I'll get some goldfish. That sounds good.
ANNOUNCEMENT: WE JUST FOUND OUT THAT WE'RE PREGNANT WITH GOLDFISH! ZZ is due in about three and a half days!
Seriously though, we're really happy with the house. Five bedrooms and an acre of land with a 2.5 car shop garage is more than we really need, until you factor in the Mother in Law living with (off) us, the second baby we're hoping for, and the school of fish zz's about to drop. We're going to get a dog or two too, plenty of land for them to roam around here. We're also excited to start exploring Hatcher's Pass and all the other hiking opportunities out here in the Valley. So this is all great and everything, but to be honost, I miss Anchorage a lot. I never thought I'd say this, but I don't think I ever want to live in the country again. It's a nice place to visit, but somehow, someway, someone managed to turn Mungo into a CityBoy. But SHHH, don't tell ZZ, I have to keep her spirits up about life out here and I can't do that if she knows that in my HeartOfHearts, I would
almost consider a move back to Anchorage... if the money worked out. I've also never been in this much debt, so that's freaking me out a little bit too.
I keep being offered TDY's at work and I keep accepting, and then at the last minute funding is pulled for something else and I don't end up going anywhere. Hawaii, North Bay, something at Nellis. All pulled, nothing came of them. Now they're asking if I'd like to go to Robbins for the MAGIC course. "Of course!" I said. They whisper under their breath: "He ha ha ha, just wait, Kershner, we'll teach you to be enthusisastic about your job. Ha ha ha!"
Peace and Love,
Mungo
PS, where's Eddie at? If he doesn't read this, ST, would you send me an address and phone number for him to my email?
