I can print checks, yes I can I can print checks, how 'bout you?!?

Ok, so maybe that didn't work so well. Remember in high school with the spirit thing...We've got spirit, yes we do, we have sprit...how 'bout you? blah blah blah, then it turns into "We've got more! We've got more! We've got more!" and then everyone cheers on both sides of the stands because they think they "won". Yeah, that's what I was going for. So, it failed. Sue me.

Well, we're moving along at getting into our new house...we should be closing on the 28th, and I'm getting excited to start to get settled there. It's an expensive house, but it will be worth the payment to see Kristen happy with it.

So, today I learned how we print checks at work today. It was actually very interesting, and amazing at how fast it can be done. I also listened into a few calls in the call center today. I'm so glad I won't have to worry about that any more. I certainly feel their pain, so anything I can do to help them out; I'll certainly do it.

That's about all of my update for now. Kristen did find a dog door built in to a storm door that we are considering buying...it should make our lives easier (or so one would think)!

Adios!

Checks doesn't take Checks?

So, the new company I work for is in the Check business. However, you can't pay for your order using an ACH/EFT payment. I find that highly ironic. Apparently that will be my first project, so at least I know what I'll be doing! Yipee!

In other news:
- We sold our house in College Station in 4 days
- We found a house in New Braunfels in one week
- Kristen got an interview at a bank in San Antonio
- The next day she got a job offer from that bank
- The day after that she got a phone call for an interview for a company, literally, 1 mile from our new house.

So, it appears that some one, somewhere is trying to tell us that we are doing the right thing by moving. Everything is seeming to fall into place in relatively short order. I have an interview on Friday, get a job offer on Saturday and our house is on the market by Friday and sold by Monday; then Kristen's quick turn of events with her gainful employment.

It's stressful at times; but we know that we'll get through it. I know we're both looking forward to moving into our house in New Braunfels. It's a "small town" and has that vibe that Kristen and I are going for. If you'd like our new address, please send me an email!
