Hence the reason I'm working on finishing my Aeronautical engineering degree and then moving to Utah. I can make twice the money I do now and live in twice the house and have half the amount of bills I do now, sounds good to me.
I've been tossing the idea around about moving to Florida, make a little better than what I do now but the cost of living is way lower than here...
Would love to move back to Colorado or Wyoming, job market's tight out there though...

I am sitting here just laughing cause right now she is straight hammering out a solo and actually doing it quite well.
That's awesome . My Grandson is 3 and plays like he's been here before. He learns from watching and listening to other drummers at church and on tv.

You seem to be pretty good with your hands, I'd put in for a Mechanics position....
Show up to work every day, work the required OT and you'll have a job for however long you want it

Mormons don't bother me. As long as I can buy beer, real beer, on the Air Force base out there I'll be alright, plus the positives out weigh the negatives.

Yeah, that's understandable. We thought about moving back to Florida as well but the wife says no. She would rather be someplace with mountains and doesn't want to move again until we can get to said place, so I guess I'm stuck receiving it from the man until I finish my degree at the end of this year, then we'll see what happens.

Getting out and growing up are two totally different things bro. I got out a long time ago, but you can ask my wife, I have never really grown up. lol

The only reason I can think is because of the proximity to DC. But who gives a ****, not like I want to be any closer to that stupid mother ****** ****** ***** **** **** ****** ***** than I have to be.
