Well, its been a while since my last update. Wow, so much has happened. First, and most importantly, Shannon and I finally seen our baby face to face in an ultrasound. Before anyone asks, no, we didn’t learn the gender. Nor do we want to. I have never seen anything more incredible in my entire life. To see the baby wiggling around inside of Shannon’s belly, moving its hands around was simply amazing. I am now impatiently looking very forward to the next ultrasound.
Other major update is a vehicle update. Sadly, my MINI Cooper S is GONE! Thats right, I met with the future buyer a week ago Sunday. After some short negotitation, we decided on a price, and it was sold. Then, I spent the next week waiting for a safety to be completed. It cost a lot more then I had expected, but in the end, the monthly savings will be worth it.
With the sale of my MINI costing me a lot more then we had anticipated, finding spare cash to pick up an inexpensive ‘beater’ was proving to be difficult. Luckilly, my Dad and I struck up a deal that worked well for both of us. We purchased a 1991 VW Golf turbo diesel. Its in decent shape, has about 367,000kms on it, and the price was right. So now, I have a decent car to get me by until Shannon goes off work, and Dad will have something to replace his van with when its e-test is due at the beginning of September. Thanks again Mom and Dad. Shannon and I would be sunk without this help.
Lastly, my webserver is working, for the most part. Only one small issue left to resolve. Hopefully in the next few days I will figure it out.
