Well ya, like the Title says, My Wife is pregant
oh and we Eloped on monday... hehehe I wouldn't really say it was "unplanned" but it definitely was about a year and 1/2 before our schedule... Currently we are still planning on a 9/12/2013 Wedding, though we ran out and got a Cival Marraige (already been engaged for Almost a year) and we had been talking about eloping anyways ... so yarr... things are a changing for me... lol.
The plan is that I will continue to rally, (and she may also in the future) but we don't want to be in the same car together. well we do, but we figure its less risky for the child if the parents are in seperate cars. And she probably won't be getting into a rally car for at least a year. Maybe she will navigate an event or two, events i'm not going to enter.. Were not sure yet. I'm planning on running Mendocino as I've already paid the entry, already bought new tires before NNR. and I (sort of) Have to fix my Van. HOA doesn't allow broken vehicles in the front yard, it won't fit in the garage, and the side yard already has my broken STI, and my trailer. hehehe. Plus I'm gonna need something to go and pick up baby furnature , lumber, misc home and garden things... etc Also since Jeana isn't navigating for me ( boo) I'm having an old snowboarding buddy of mine (former navigator) hop in. and he's covering hotel + crew food. (making the rally cheaper) So MAYBE come about April or May of next year i'll be hitting up a few events. so this is an open invite for a new navigator for the 2013 season. Event Cost Sharing will be a large factor in who gets the seat. I'd love to still be able to contest for a championship ... but I might also only do 1 or 2 rallies. North Nevada Rally (assuming it gets put on in 2013) and who knows ? could be navigators pick i suppose. Its do-able to win a CRS championship going to as few as 4 rallies, maybe 3 if no one else is running the series (lame) in which case i'de rather enter Open 4wd . I'd rather get 2nd place due to having competitors, than running away with 1st due to no one else showing up (consistantly)
I do have a set of 4.44 final drives to install for next season (muahahaha!) and i will likely buy a 95 transmission for the .825 5th gear (mine is a .780) and the only reason I'll buy that transmission is to help my buddy Ansel out (he got into a motorcycle accident, medical bills, etc) so the cash would help him, and the shorter 5th gear would be fun for me .. But that's all i'll be allowing myself to do for upgrades. basic maintenance and that's it. So yarr... I'll be a father around Mid March (excited and nervous)
Jeana Might crew (which would mean a baby coming to the events) I'm sure not for the first 6 months, but after that. if i can get the AC working in the van, and maybe install a sink ... and by crew i more mean she'll drive the service van around and tell us how far behind (or ahead) we are... hehehe |

Congrats! Baby bug is bombing around the rally community right now! Pat Darrow, Eddie Fiorelli, Jared Lantzy, myself, now you, and probably more!
We'll have to start coordinating event attendance and maybe find somebody with a motor home to have the day care in at service.
Congrats again! It's so fun!!! Grant Hughes |
