Our closing date has been changed to July 14th due to a lender delay.

We'll be back in Lafayette this weekend for Father's Day, and again for July 4th weekend.

We've received a verbal acceptance of our counter offer. w00t! Right now the closing date is set for July 9th. The buyer was out of town today and wasn't available to sign the acceptance document yet, but he's supposed to when he gets back. Hopefully he doesn't change his mind in the mean time.

We got another offer on the house today. This is the third one we've gotten so far, but most of them have been really low and no one has accepted or even countered our counter offers. Hopefully this one goes better.

When Best Buy delivered the washer & dryer, they decided to install them for us for free. They work pretty well. The washer supposedly only costs $8/year in energy to operate so that's a plus.

Well, today (and tomorrow (and another day next week)) is moving day. The packers are here right now, but they're almost done. Tomorrow the truck comes and another group of people loads everything up. Then sometime next week the truck arrives and everything gets put in the house.

I also finally bought a washer and dryer for the new place. They'll be delivered next Tuesday and then I get to install them. Fun, fun, fun.

I guess I ought to update this thing sometime this year. I'm now 25 years old. I bought the new DSi last week. And last month we bought Ally a 2007 Honda Fit.

Take that, Twitter.

I guess it has been a while. I interviewed at three places (two were different divisions of the same company), received very good offers from both companies, and decided to go with Northrop Grumman - Xetron in Cincinnati. I start work on January 12th. Ally and I will be looking at apartments the week prior and hopefully in a year we'll be ready to buy a home again. We have yet to put our current house up for sale, but we should be doing that in the near future.

As most of the people who would be visiting this website already know, Arxan laid off 23 of its roughly 100 employees on 30 October. I was one of them. The severance package included 2 weeks pay + 1 week for every year of service + payment for any unused vacation. In all, I'm getting 3 weeks pay since I hadn't taken any of my vacation yet.

So, now I'm applying for jobs. I suppose I'll have time to update this as things come along.
