Well, I guess now is as good a time as any to share with everyone that I have started the process of buying my first new home. Knowing that moving back to Fort Worth was going to be a long term move I first wanted to get into an apartment while I searched. I’m not going to talk much about the apt because we all know what apts are like (and they are all pretty much the same). But what I will show you is my view. Everyone asked me how I would adjust from the small town of Amarillo to the Big City life of Fort Worth/Dallas…no adjustment needed (they don’t call this Cowtown for nothing!).

So anyway, back to the story…so now that I have looked at say 20-30 houses over the last month and a half I think know I found the one I want. I really shouldn’t be saying “I” since a very special person helped me through this entire process. We looked and looked until we found this one, and we told ourselves that all the rest HAD to just blow us away in order to change our minds about making the offer on this house. Below are some photos that were linked off the MLS listing. I didn’t take these, but they will give you a better idea than me just giving you stats:

Once we close on the house (hopefully by the ed of this month) we will go in and give it a good cleaning. After that we’ll take some real nice before and after photos of the entire house. Enjoy for now, and I’ll keep everyone posted as more progresses.

Here is some info on the house:

• 4 Bedroom
• 2 Bath
• 2 Car Garage
• 1 Living
• 1 Dining
• Fireplace
• Vaulted Ceilings
• Tile and Hardwood Floors (see photos)
• Alarm System
• Many Many more things we will take pictures of and show you all.

HAPPY EASTER!!!

Good Friday is a holy day celebrated by Christians on the Friday before Easter or Pascha. It commemorates the crucifixion of Jesus at Calvary. Special prayer services are often held on this day with readings from the Gospel accounts of the events leading up to the crucifixion. Mainstream Christian churches view Christ’s crucifixion as a voluntary and vicarious act, and one by which, along with resurrection on the third day, death itself was conquered.

I’ve been upgraded from Wordpress 1.5 to 2.0 since about…oh, March and so far I like it a lot. Nothing broke from my previous version (Wp 1.5) and I was able to throw in this nice new Theme that you see now. Pretty cool eh? Well, it seems like every version release spawns a new competition for version compatible themes. Hundreds of people submit their themes to a site that’s holding the competition for review and winners are chosen for different categories and usually receive a nice award/prize. The last few that I’ve followed were held by Alex King and his super cool Theme Browser. I should also mention that he’s also done the same for Wordpress Styles and his Style Browser.

This year, someone else took on the competition. Arena^WP has a real nice setup and many people already submitted. If you are good at the CSS and XHTML thing with WP and would like to get in on the action, they extended the submission deadline to May 1st, 2006 12 PM PST. I’m not going to tell you much more about it or link to more pages. Just head over and read about it all yourself. I will tell you this though…they are giving away some really cool stuff…including a Apple 30GB iPod with Video Playback.

So, go! You have less than three weeks to get something submitted!!!
