A very long weekend! We have done so much since Friday that I am having a hard time keeping up and it has made me so tired that it has been hard to stay up late like I normally do. Today has been the typical Monday except that I actually had to go back to work today. It's not like going back to work this week is a bad thing because Thursday night will be our last night here in King's Bay. I actually can't wait until Thursday. I have very little work left to do here in King's Bay. There are some check outs that need to be done and a sedated MRI for one little wee man and then it will be off to the west coast again. I'm actually going to be home most of the day tomorrow so that I can take care of the boys and turn the keys in for the house. Speaking of the house, I am so happy that I did not have to clean it on Saturday. I stayed with my mother in-law while my beautiful wife went over and did all of that hard work. I wanted to help her out, but she made me stay with the boys and rescue mom and keep her sane. I guess I did a pretty good job because we had fun on Saturday and didn't kill any of the children.
Sunday was a really good day for us because we spent it outside of the hotel and in Jacksonville. We took the children down to the zoo, which by the way was a huge disappointment. We got so spoiled by the Point Defiance Zoo up in Washington that the Jacksonville Zoo was just below mediocre. Not saying that we didn't have fun because we did, but we are so ready to go to a real zoo with lots of stuff in it that will be a lot more fun to go to. The boys had so much fun at the zoo that they all fell asleep on the car ride home. It was nice and quiet and peaceful. I don't remember the last time that we had all three of them asleep in the car. I hope that they sleep well on the road trip because we are going to be spending a fair amount of time on the road. We will be seeing a few people along the way. It will be nice because we won't always be paying for a hotel room. At least two of the nights that I know of we won't be paying for a hotel room. At least that's what I think. She knows better than I do because she has done all of the planning for this road trip. The only thing that I do know is that I am ready to be there already and moving our stuff into the new house and getting it all nice and set up.
I can't even wait to get the cable and internet set up again because I will be back online for video games and doing this blog. I even have some plans for a book that I will be writing and I need lots of research so that I can figure some things out and make sure they are right. I am even ready for all of the "rain" that they have up there. It will give me plenty of time to spend inside with the boys and on the computer. I plan on making full use of the next three years to do a bunch of things. I may even go out and get my associates degree so that I can get even more points on my advancement exam. You know, just in case I don't make E-6 this time up. I'm not expecting to make it, but it would be really nice to get it. It would make my career so much easier. A lot of people already know that I am planning on doing at least 20 years in the Navy. I can do that as a First Class, but I can't do it as a Second Class. That is a story for another time though.
Now, I am currently laying on the bed in the hotel room listening to the rain on the roof and watching The Crow. The only good one there is. The one with Brandon Lee as the Crow. Such an awesome movie. My favorite quote from the whole movie, :"It can't rain all the time." I think that it has to be one of the best movies of all time. It definitely makes my top 5 list. I also dig on Pulp Fiction and Scarface, but not necessarily in that order. Man that word was hard. I had to spell it like four times before I got it right. Damn necessarily. I should have paid more attention in school when in came to spelling. I still have issues even with the help of the spell checker.
So now I have just three days left at this command and I am done going out to sea for a little while. My wife is happy that I will be home for the next three years and I am sure that the kids are as well. I know that I will be very happy to not miss major life events because of being underway. Well, that is all for tonight's addition from the arena of Wickid.

Moving Again....
Today has just been one of those days that getting out of bed was probably a mistake. Today started out as a typical Friday with the boys getting up way too early for their own good. Yeah, I can't even say that with a straight face. Anyways, today is the day that the movers and packers showed up to move all of our stuff from our house here and get it up to Washington state. I am excited because this is just another step closer to moving away from this little town with nothing in it.
The only problem with moving is the stress that it causes between everyone involved. I can't stand doing all kinds of cleaning and moving stuff around and getting things arranged to be moved. This is why I let my wife handle most of this stuff and she gets it done. It's not because I'm lazy mind you, it's because I hate doing paperwork and trying to organize stuff. She is way better at it than I am.
At least this time when the movers started packing all of the stuff, they were very professional and this time they got everything logged so that way, I won't be missing a deep freezer when they deliver our stuff to Washington. At least, they better not be missing any of my stuff. I am so ready to be done with this trip and unpacking boxes into the new house and getting everything situated. Although, that part of moving is the easiest because we can set everything up and get it the way we want it instead of my wife barking orders about how to clean this or clean that. I know that my wife is ready to get all of this stuff done because she is ready to go back to work and not be stuck in the house all day long. I'm ready for her not to be stuck in the house all day long. It has been too long since she has done something just for her and yes, I know that working may not be "entirely" for her, but it does get her out of the house and away from the children. She will be able to spend some time not always changing diapers or feeding kids and bottling up her stress. Plus it gives me a perfect chance to play loads of video games without interruptions. I can now finally beat all of those games that I have been wanting to beat.
Well this is all for now. Until tomorrow's edition....

Up and going again!!
So here I am again to start this off right!! I am back and apparently better than ever. It has been a long time since I have added anything onto the Internet that I have produced. You may remember me from Wickidspace.com, but unfortunately that website went under due to severe inactivity.
I can't believe that I had it for that long and didn't even bother with it. This is what happens when I spend way too much time on a submarine and not enough time at home on the computer or on the Internet in general. We have been without the interwebs for a while and I feel like I have missed a bunch of stuff. I have been doing most of my activities on the cellular device, which is I guess part of the reason that I have been so inactive on the computer. Thanks to my uncle, +Chuck Bisbee, I have found this place and I have decided to start this venture all over again.
So here is a little bit about me just to get you reacquainted. I am a military man by nature and I have spent the last 8 years of my life playing sailor in the submarine force. I am currently getting ready to go to shore duty for a little while and spend a lot of time at home with my loving wife and my four, yes I said four, little boys. I am very excited to be doing this because this is my first ever shore duty and we really have no idea what to expect in terms of what will be happening for my work schedule. I have spent the last six and half years on board a submarine and that schedule is already way too hectic for many people. I have spent countless nights away from home and busy pulling all-nighters while trying to get a multi-billion dollar piece of naval equipment ready to go out to sea. It can be very demanding and it takes a special breed of woman, or man, now that woman are allowed on submarines, to be able to handle that type of stress and alone time away from the loved one. Which leads this conversation that I am having with you guys to my wife. She has been with me through thick and thin. We have done back to back sea tours and it has been hell on our marriage, with all of the fights and all of the anger that I have brought home and dished out. It wasn't anybody's fault at home, but that didn't stop me from being mean and withdrawn from everybody. See, everybody thinks that this job is really easy when in all reality, this is probably one of the toughest jobs that anybody can have. Unlike the surface fleet, or anybody deployed overseas, I can't just get on Facebook or Skype to talk to my family and friends. I have to use regular old email that may, or may not, be sent out on a regular basis. We spend countless days in a period that I like to call "Quiet Time". It is where there is really no communication that leaves the submarine whatsoever. This is where the hard part comes in because if there is anything wrong at home, I can't just email my wife to help her get through the crises. She has to do it all on her own, without my help. It even sucks for us on the submarine because we have to read about everything that went wrong at home with no real way of knowing if everything turned out alright. I am happy to be moving to a shore duty where I will be home pretty much every night so that my wife will not have to spend another sleepless night wondering if I am okay out in the deep blue sea.
This is all for now. I actually ended up typing more than I anticipated. Maybe this is a sign of better things to come. I know that you will all be looking forward to the stories and memories that I will be sharing along the way. If you want some more fun and adventure while you wait to hear more from me, check bohica2k.com and read the fascinating tales that come from the mind of a genius. The art is awe-inspiring and magical!
