A new month, about time a new blog entry! This past weekend was pretty exciting. As you may have noticed there are pictures of a house filling up this month’s “Picture of the Day”. As of yesterday it has been agreed upon by the seller, that me and Susan will buy the house. Yup that’s right, you’re looking at a couple of future homeowners (April 30th to be exact). This attractive two-story home is located in the quaint little town of Freeland (if I hand a virtual hand I could show you where exactly that is, or you could mapquest it…) We talked the seller down from their asking price (which was quite a bit below the SEV), so we got it at a really good price. This week our focus is getting the agreement signed and heading over to the Dow Chemical Employee Credit Union for a loan (a really BIG loan… :/). Another exciting event that happened this weekend was that we got our taxes figured out… okay, maybe a little more exciting for us then you, but still we got it figured out! You’re probalby more interested in the fact that we went up to Winter Carnival (pictures coming soon…) We met up with my sister, Beth, brother-in-law, Matthew, and our little nephew Marcus. We survived the chilling winds to see the magnificant statues so carefully made (some more then others… as some had used dirty snow… >_<) It was a pretty good time, we went to the Ambassador where we got their ever-so-popular pizza. We also got to see the unveiling of the Houghton snowflake postage stamp and Susan got to meet up with her sirority sisters for a fishbowl. Later that night, back in Ishpeming, I dropped off the computer I had built for my brother and found out “Ambo” pizza isn’t all that tasty coming back up. We ended up taking Ben to Border Grill (going here was important, aparently…) and hung out the rest of the night with my lil brother. All and all, it was a pretty excellent weekend.
