Well, I am now the proud owner of a house. Everything went very smoothly today, though I am kinda bummed that I will have to paint before I move in and more than likely rip up all of the carpet too.
Oh well, you can't get everything. I'll try and post some new pictures of it by the end of the week!
I will be handling the house this year so please go and see my post over on the Deezn.com Forums.
Also, please post here in the comments section if you plan on coming and if you will bring anyone else.
Closing Day is tomorrow. I can't wait! I'm doing the final walkthrough tomorrow morning then going straight to the closing. I hope that everything goes smoothly. More on this subject tomorrow! (I'll try and have some pictures too!)

We may have picked the house we will be staying at for GeekFest 2006. Check it out here:
Let's hope we can get this one, especially since it has high speed internet access!
As you can tell, I have decided to upgrade the site today. I am now using the latest version of Movable Type (3.2) and have also changed the layout of the site.
Instead of having a 3 column site, I thought that just going with the two column layout would look cleaner. I also changed the color scheme. I'm quite pleased with the new look. Let me know what you think by leaving some comments.
My closing date is October 26, which is just 9 days away! I'm getting quite excited about this and can't wait until it's a done deal. I'm going to be moving in officially Nov. 12, but I plan on migrating over 2 weeks so that I can unpack as I go and then when I officially move in, I am ready to go like I have always been living there.
So we are planning on having Geekfest the second week in January. We are not sure how many people will be attending as of yet, but so far we have 8 people confirmed on coming. Visit Deezn.com for more information!
Well, it has been over two weeks since I began working at the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond. Let me tell you, I love it! Everyone here is fantastic and extremely nice. It's a great atmosphere to work in and I see lots of opportunities at this institution.
