So I figured i'd give everyone an update as to why I'm not online as much as I used to be and i'm selling my beloved 1982 Toyota that i've dropped coutless hours of blood, sweat and tear's into!

Well me and my wife have been looking into buying a home since the housing market is down in California. Today we got a call from our Realtor and we've had our offer accepted!!! Which is great. In a nut shell, the home was built in 2006. Stucco exterior with a concrete tile roof, 1648 sq ft. 3 bedroom 2 bath on a pretty big landscaped lot. It's going to be great finally having my own garage so I can work on my projects.

On top of all of this we found out about a month ago that my wifes pregnant with our first child!  Yea... this has got my head going a million miles an hour. I really don't think it's hit me yet but on Monday we're going to the doctor to hear a heartbeat.

Ppphew!

I shall post up pictures of the home and baby once I get some  :)

It really is Wermz, one thing that I don't tell many people is that I come from a divorced family and my real father was never there although he literally lived 1 mile away. He didn't even have the courtesy to come to our wedding.

I'm going to enjoy being a good father and being there for my child through everything. Just thinking of all the great thing's to come... fishing, camping, wheeling and introducing he/she to so many great things.

:)   :)
