Eric Bailey Moved

Hi everybody,

Well, I finally did it. I made the move to Greensburg, PA. I was offered and took the job with the PA State Police as a DNA Analyst. Although I have achieved what I always wanted to do, it's not all downhill, yet. I still have extensive training to complete which might take me like a year or two to complete before I'm allowed to run my own cases. It's a lot like returning to school with required reading and question sets to complete and comprehensive tests along the way, not to mention, the mock trials. I at least completed what I set out to do since I graduated high school.
I would have liked to have said that the move went off without a hitch, but that is not the case. We didn't find out how bad it was until we arrived the day that we were moving in to find that the townhome was not ready. We actually had to stay at a hotel for a night after moving in because we had no toilets installed. So the place is a work in progress. Our landlord is at least trying to get everything fixed, so I won't have to sue him. Today, they managed to fix a few things.
Jared, my son, is a mix of happy that he has a new house with a backyard, but is completely bored out of his mind, and is lashing out and completely annoying the heck out of us. We are still trying to find things for him to do around the area to entertain him, but the area is nothing like Harrisburg. There is a lack of decent playgrounds that a toddler can handle. We have been frequenting the local Burger King which has a nice playland that Jared really enjoys, and we have been to Chuck E. Cheese twice in as many weeks.
I would like to thank those that came to my aid and help me pack or unpack. Especially, since I really torqued my shoulder and over exerted myself. I can now rest, at least, until I find a house to buy. Jayson and Cess I owe you guys one.
I would like to further say, if I haven't told any of you already, that we are expecting our second child. It will be another boy. The question now is do we name him Bryce (Bryson) or Tyler?
