Alexis Has a Career!

It finally happened...Alexis is a teacher!! She was offered and accepted a job as a Kindergarten Teacher in Richardson ISD. Alexis will be teaching at Northwood Hills Elementary School. She interviewed with them on Monday, and on Tuesday received the offer. Next fall will mark the beginning of her new career. I am very proud of her and I think she will do a wonderful job educating the leaders of tomorrow. Feel free to leave comments of congratulations and encouragement.

Congratulations Diana

I would like to take this time to recognize Diana's new steps in trying to reach what is the pinnacle of cool...being like me. Her decision to reach the ultimate cool is applauded and should be viewed as an example for all others to follow.

May this quote from Diana inspire you, "Just wanted to let you all know that in my quest to be ever more like Brett..." I think those are words we can all live by. Diana is wise beyond her years.

More new house news

So as most of you may have heard, the new house thing feel through. The bank called us the day before closing and told me that they would not be able to fund our mortgage. The logic being that since I am self employed I must have two years of self employment history. I don't have that. As it turns out, this is something they should have told us on the first day, not the day before closing. Oh well. Now Alexis and I have gone through pretty much the entire home buying process without buying a home, we're pros.

Since we didn't get that house, we decided to rent a house. We looked at three houses and the final one we looked at we loved. It is in University Park, thats where SMU is, in fact we are about two blocks from the university. Anyway, it's a two bed, one bath house with a detached two car garage. The house is in great shape and was built the 1930's. Alexis and I are really excited since it is in such a nice part of town. It is still close to Downtown and other fun stuff. Its closer to work for Alexis and it has a yard for Ace. We move at the end of this month, stay tuned for pictures.
