For one, we sold our house. This has left us with a definite deadline in terms of moving. This is a great thing overall, we sold our house! Thanks to craigslist, it took only 6 days. Thats right, For Sale by Owner from list to completed offer in less than 1 week. Pretty awesome.
For second, we now have to find a place to live. This has proved to be a different kind of trial than what we were expecting to face. For those of you who don't know, we are moving to a small town in Central IL, around 5500 people in the town, and an area that serves around 13,000. The wife and I had expected to find ourselves short of options. Well, we were pleased to discover quite the opposite. Indeed, there have been a lot of GREAT options, at a great price with a great interest rate. So now we have the trial of trying to pick among many great options. 1st world problems to be sure, but it *does* have to get done, and now it has to be done sooner rather than later.
For Third, as many of you know we are expecting. So now in addition to a new job, new house, moving to a new town, and moving out of our old place, we have to get ready for our little guy. And yes, our little guy is a boy :) I felt him kick for the first time today, talk about wild.
On a completely different note, I have also started reading the "The Dark Tower" series by Stephen King. And it is awesome. It hasn't been since I read a Song of Ice and Fire that I have been as engrossed in a series. Roland Deschain of Gilead ftw. Hile gunslinger.
That is long enough for now, more as it comes.
Stay healthy!
