Still Renovating...

Now Playing: Jars of Clay, "Good Monsters"

We're still renovating, but our house is starting to feel a lot like our home! We're currently refinishing the floors upstairs, they will be varnished by the weekend and then we can start moving the rest of the stuff from the basement up there! Plus, we're getting a couch donated to us this week, so our living room won't be quite so sparse.

Frank is still looking for work, but had 3 excellent leads this week...we'll see how they pan out.

We just found out that we're going to be an aunt and uncle again! Patty is pregnant, and due in September.

A new Lost is on tonight. I am really loving the new episodes. I was worried for a bit, the show was getting kind of stagnant, but it's really picking back up again. We also have recently given in and purchased digital cable and a PVR. It's really great getting to watch what you want whever you want. It's nothing like regular old cable.

We took an excellent course through our church on the weekend: the Good $ense Budget Course. It really opened up our eyes to how to manage our money. We are going to start paying a lot stricter attention to where our money goes, and how much we put aside for the future. What I really loved about the course was it's no-nonsense approach to consumerism: if you don't need it, don't buy it. If you can't afford it, don't buy it. I was shocked by the statistics they quoted on consumer debt, and the public perception that credit card debt is unavoidable. Anyways, we highly recommend it.
