Squatter on the Mountain

This post will not have anything to do with pregnancy and what not. No, this post will be about the squatter. We have this, my only guess is a crazy person, believing that the entire little street we're on and the land surrounding it (this includes our house and land plus five other house and property) are his. He brought a huge building crate and parked it between two houses. He as already walked into a neighboring house and threatened the family on the other side. I am supposed to keep the house locked while im there and call 911 if he tries to get in. Matt is asking command if he can leave work if he gets a call about the guy. One of the neighbors are in the process of getting restraining orders for the guy and all the land permits saying who the land really belongs to. So it should clear up in about two weeks. We shall see!

Next news, since I was asked, housing. We are looking for a new place to live hoping to move when it gets closer to spring/summer. It will be easier for the rentor's to find a new tenant. We are considering apartments with two bedrooms. I asked about base and found out that we would lose the 1600 a month that we get for housing off base which helps pay for bills. So no base yet! But we are definitely looking for something a lot closer to base due to the fact that Matt has been coming home late then leaving again for work soon after. The drive is starting to take its toll.

Next set of news is more political. Obama has frozen all government assets right now. And if he continues to do so, Matt's pay will be frozen. Which means no income for us. We can not live on my income so I am really scared of where this administration is going. If he takes the military's paycheck, he will lose a huge group of voters. Re-election should be interesting. The commandant already briefed the entire marine corps that this might happen so be ready. How do you prepare for that? No amount of force or saving can prepare anyone for that.

Well, that is what is going on in our life. Making our lives a little bit stressed right now. I have a monthly check up on monday and the ultrasound to find the sex of the baby on tuesday! So I will call everyone to let you know what we are having!

Toodles!
