Mo Mortgage, Mo Problems

Big news on the home front. We have received approval from the bank we were dealing with to purchase a short sale home in southwest Arlington. It is exciting to know we will be having a place of our own again that can be decorated, renovated, and done with as we please.
It's been good living with my mom these past few months and saving money for our new home, but not having all of our own stuff and living in two bedrooms between three-and-a-half people has been hard. We go to look at the house again this afternoon and measure rooms for carpet and painting. I'm excited to do some fix-it-up projects at the new home.
Any other bits of news about the house I will post as we progress.

And He Strikes Like Thunderball

This is a bit late, but about two weeks ago I went with my wife and a friend to watch the fourth James Bond thriller Thunderball in a Dallas theater. This brings my total of 007 movies up to 10 of 22 seen on the big screen. Not bad for someone born in 1980 and didn't get into the Bond franchise until 1997, 35 years after the first adventure was released.
