Big news!

We have received an offer on our house! So it appears that this weekend (and maybe a few more) will be spent moving the rest of our stuff from Diamond to Independence. So now I won't have to worry about mowing this summer and taking care of the house. We are going to wait until 2010 to decide what to do about a new house. My job is in the Manufacturing sector and I don't want to make any sudden movements since the economy is still unknown. On the bright side an economic recovery is probably already underway.

As for the next house, we are undecided whether to build or buy and I'm guessing we will cross that bridge when we get there. With me working from home, I have to have a study that is preferably separate from the house, or at minimum, can be isolated. I really don't want a "4th bedroom" because they tend to be close to the "2nd" and "3rd" bedrooms which tend to be loud with children running around and hollering.

On the bad side, my grandmother isn't doing real well health-wise. I'm not for sure what all is involved but it's not looking very promising. That's my mom's mom (my dad's mom isn't in well health either because she died in the 1980's).

Easter Sunday is upon us. I think Paul (dad-in-law) wants us to come over in the afternoon and do the family-time thing. That will be nice as I haven't seen them for a few weeks. I dislike Easter because you have to dress up. You know how some guys look good in suits? That guy isn't me. I look rumpled no matter what I wear. Now that I've lost about 20 pounds, it's just exacerbated the problem. Oh well... That's life.
