The good:
Dajuan and I are having a home built by a builder that I have worked with for over 6 years. The process of building a new home is coming along. Right now we are cleaning and cleaning out in preparation for selling our townhouse. Very soon (hopefully) the builder will be able to start on the new one. The equuity I have built up in this one will allow us to pay realtor's fees and hopefully part of a downpayment on the new one.
Also C5 has been officially announced. Dajuan was very skeptical about going, but I would like to try to make the finances work (see above) so we can go to it. I really want to see many of our friends who will be going.
The bad:
We live in a very safe townhome complex. I normally leave my truck, and many times the house, unlocked. Two nights ago someone got into it and rummaged through it. They must have been on a mission because it was a windy 30 degrees out! They took my Oakleys, and I think they took my starter checks from one of my banks, although I may have taken them out myself a while ago. I don't remember. Either way I went to the bank so they wouldn't post any checks from that account (it's the account I use to pay my mortgage with, so I never write checks from it anyway.) I think it was some local kid, because my credit cards were still there (although somewhat hidden.) Dajuan and I now have to lock up for the remainder of the time that we are here, which is sad.
The ugly:
Well, more like me being ugly...my glasses broke today. I've had them for a few years I think. target couldn't fix them, and they no longer carry that style, so I'm SOL with those. I am wearing my old pair for now. Dajuan set me up an eye appointment for next Tuesday, so I'll get new ones then.
