Well, I thought I would put in my two cents about the new house. I am very excited like Anne. I don't think we could have asked for a better situation for our first home. Last night we drove around and checked out the neighborhood in the dense fog. There are a couple of nice shopping centers in the area and some nice restaurants for a dinner out every once in a while. As far as the new job, I'm really excited to start and jump into it all. I just have to keep reminding myself that that I have two classes to finish this semester and a thesis to finish. We are real excited for the holidays, including this weekend here in Vancouver. We will be moving into the house if all goes well the day or two after New Year's Day. Anne is pregnant. I will start working at the same time. The office, by google earth is only five miles away and within scooter riding distance. A motorcycle upgrade will have to wait a little while until things settle down and all. We dropped by Dave and Adina's house this afternoon on our way into town and had fun visiting and playing with the kids. Tom, I'm excited for you and the whole xbox 360 situation. Me and Anne chuckled trying to picture the adults being treated as kindergarteners. My question is, did you guys have to hold hands as you crossed the street? Well, Brook et al are here so I better go.
