Big Belated News

How Much Is Your Dollar Worth?
$1 = 8.0079 SEK

WE HAVE A HOME!!!  Most of you probably knew that but we have been gone awhile.  We closed on our home on the 17th, later in the day than we had hoped but still, we got it done.  We had to drive to Kansas City to get a cashiers check because our bank doesn't have a branch here and none of the local banks would do it for us.  We waited down there until we heard from our Realtor about when our closing time would be.  We bought some stuff and met a dude named Lars working at a Target.  I noticed he had a little accent and so I asked him if he was Swedish. He said he was and that he had just become an American in fact.  I took Lars as a good sign that we would get our house that day and we did.  So now we are home owners.  We've been busy painting and unpacking boxes.  Our shipments from Pullman and Sweden both arrived last week and I think we have 75% of the boxes opened.  Still don't know where to put half of if, but it's here.  And later next month we get Jax back as well.  Good times.


We also bought a new car.  A 2009 Ford Fusion.  It's a good car it has that SYNC feature from Microsoft so we can make calls with it or tell it to play "Michael Bolton" and it will do nothing because we don't have that on the mp3 player hooked up to it.  Can't have everything I guess.

So that is a quick and dirty update.  Maybe if I keep them shorter I'll update more often.  Kind of like twitter but not as mind-numbing I hope.

Later
