Money and Finance
This past week went by extremely fast. As I've mentioned my wife and I are looking at purchasing a house and we spent most of our time while I was home looking at potential houses. We had put an offer in last week and it was accepted. Now I just want to get the process started toward actually getting keys in hand. We'll be having the inspection done on Monday and hopefully there's no big issues that need to be taken care of because that could seriously effect the purchase. It's newish construction since it was built in 2000 so I wouldn't expect there to be anything that bad. I know our monthly costs are going to go up with a house but my wife really wanted to have a place of our own. Once the house is ours for sure then I'll post up some pictures. If everything goes smoothly we should close around the first week of September.

I can't believe that another week and month have come and gone. Last weekend I had a great time with my wife and friends as we headed up to one of their lake houses and got to go have a great time relaxing. And it didn't hurt that we got to...
