Thanksgiving

We are very thankful to be in our lovely new house! We had our challenges to get here, and still have some (Moving is expensive!) but love where we are. We now have room for y'all to come visit, just no extra beds...yet.

Thanks to everybody who helped us move and sent their thoughts and good wishes...we needed them! It was a stressful few days...from not being given any keys by the seller so we had to call an emergency locksmith and pay him 240.00, to having Time Warner Cable claim they came out on Saturday and found no one home, which was untrue, to I think almost melting my poor Discover card as we spend money for things like curtains, ceiling fans, ranges, and a washer and dryer, and a long commute to work at least for a bit, we have and will over come them all and the house is so worth it!

Thanks most of all to our Father in Heaven for helping us through all this. I know we could not have done it on our own.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!

Moving

Apparently, posting at midnight means one does not type coherently. :) We are moving but most likely Saturday the 22nd. Love y'all!

We signed our life away!

So, we signed our loan documents ...the huge pile of them, and will soon be the proud owners of a house in Moreno Valley, CA! It is exciting and scary and scary and scary and exciting and scary. Did I mention scary? We love our new house, but are scared about the mortgage payment that is larger than our previous rent and the whole moving new jobs commuting situation. We look forward to moving in next weekend, so if anyobdy has a free Saturday, c'mon down!

Sprint to the finish line-YES ON 8!

So I know I have sounded off on this before, but I have to again as it draws near. For all of you in CaliforniaVote yes on Proposition 8 to protect traditional marriage! Election Day is on Tuesday, and this is a crucial issue! For more info please go to protectmarriage.com

CHOC Walk 2008

So for the last three years Tiffany and I have raised money for Children's Hospital of Orange County though the annual charity walk held at Disneyland. We enjoy the fun, and thanks to all of you who sponsored us...for those who didn't, there's always next year!




This guy had a great hat!

We saw lots of characters along the way!




We evEn brought Mace, Tiffany's Build A Bear Monkey, with his own CHOC Walk T shirt!

At the end of the 5k...slightly sweaty, but happy and we got a ton of free stuff from all the vendors!The CHOC bear---CHOCY I think---waves goodbye to y'all!

We got a House!

It's official! We have a house ! We found the house that fits us in Moreno Valley, CA! It is a beautiful 3 yr old near new house, 3 bedroom two bath house with a two car garage, and a backyard just tiny enough to cool stuff in and not have to mow! We expect to move sometime next month, and once we get in y'all are invited!*

*Subject to prior approval, O.A.C (On Approved Coolness-just kidding-y'all come on down)

Preserving Marriage

Though I am usually a very even handed I can see your point of view kind of guy, I have found I do have convictions. Voting yes on Proposition * in California is about protecting rights...protecting rights of parents to protect children from things taught in school, churches being sued, and intiolerance of any other view than gay marriage is okay. No man is an island, and what happens to one affects all.
