Today we "sealed the deal" on our new house. We signed the purchase agreement, which basically guarantees us the house. The foundation had already been poured, but they poured the slab while we were there signing papers. Now that we have a contract we can begin posting play-by-play pictures without the fear that someone else may show up one day asking why we're taking pictures of their house. There will be plenty of time for pictures since the house won't be done until the end of January.

Our current house officially went on the market yesterday. We've had several people come by to look at it, but no takers. We still have plenty of time, but Emilie is antsy. The sooner we sell, the more relaxed she'll be about the whole process.

We'll be leaving town Thursday morning for the big family reunion this weekend. We'll be driving to Utah on Thursday to spend Thursday and Friday at Bear Lake. On Saturday we'll be darting over to Idaho Falls for the reunion.

I finished reading The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams last night. I was a little wary about reading it because in my mind it seemed to be little more than nerd fodder; however, I have to admit that I could not stop reading it and found it to be very funny. I highly recommend it (more so than Ender's Game - my last read).
