Addendum to my excitment...

So I got a call from my wife last night while I was at work. She was sad and crying, which usually doesn't mean something good just happened. Appearantly, the ladie who bought my house had a husband who died & he forgot to put his pension in her name, leaving her with no cash. Doesn't quite make sense to me because you would think this would be taken care of before she was prequalified. So, in all, the house is not sold and my agony of defeat is causing my lower regions to contract...God bless Baby Jesus for baby wipes.

Going once, going twice...

Last night (saturday), me and my wife signed the papers to sell our house. We listed it about 60 days ago, which is a pretty fast sell I'm told. We received the offer last week and we quickly counter their ridiculous offer. They countered back & it was good enough to sell. We are very excited that pending all inspections, our house is sold and we get to finally move up to reno. We've looked in a lot of different areas, sparks, spanish springs, north west reno, and the north valleys. Not sure where we'll end up, but we have to be out by February 13th.
I've been confronted with lots of things popping up in my mind the past day or so, thinking about selling the house & moving to reno. While it's great & exciting, there's also some feelings of sadness. I've been thinking about all the good things that have happened to me over the past 4 years that I've lived in carson. I was able to buy my first house & have a true roommate for about over a year. Then I traded him in for my permanant roommate. I found my wife, or she found me, I'm not sure which one it was. We did some remodeling, purchased our dogs, and made the 408 our home. Not to mention the job I had, which opened lots of doors for me & gave me more life experience than I probably know. I am excited to see what's in store for us in the near future.

Ramblings...

Today is new years day. Growing up, new years had some interesting significance. Usually, my family would wake up at an ungodly hour & trek off the JA's Nugget. All this for apple pancake... Not your standard apple pancake, more like a circular pile of sugar, apples, and other things put together by baby Jesus. There were other things that went on during the day, but that's not too important.
Today I had to go to work. It sucked. It was the first time I had to work on new years day. It's not that my job is horrible, but we don't see too much traffic over in sparks, appearently because of a couple reasons:
1- when people think of buying a car, I guess they think of Kietzke lane because that's where most of the dealerships are
2- we don't advertise...why? People who make the decisions are morons.
Anyway, after talking on sunday about God's will, I've been thinking about what I'm doing for a job. Due to the lack of foot traffic today, I had plenty of time to think about it. Do I like what I'm doing? Yes I do. Would I quit? Yes I would. It's pretty nice place to be. I would describe it as being content. I can see myself selling cars for an extending time, but I can also see myself quitting & being happy. A job is a job. One bad thing about my job that will suck is that I won't be able to play soccer on sunday afternoons or softball on tuesday nites. I think Jesus wants me to play.
