It was a nice day and we were fairly slow at work so Billy, Julie and I went to the top of the capitol. Here are some of the pictures I took.

We are getting ready to move and figured I would put out a call for a couple of things we are looking for.

Sorry for the lack of updates but not much has been going on and I have been on “spring break” this week.
Here is our new news:
• Nick wants my Novell Penguins.
• Nick, Eric and I went and played indoor golf last night at TK Brothers. (Have you seen Eric’s lost pager?)
• Missy and Kristen went and looked for Kristen’s wedding dress.
• Everything is going fine on the new house and we should move in by Early April.
Here is everything you ever wanted to know about Saint Patrick’s day.
Its not everyday Miss America stops by to see you, but that happened at work today. You can see a picture of Miss America and I right here (I am the one on the left.)
Happy Pi day! Written in the USA date format, March 14 is an unofficial celebration for Pi Day derived from the common three-digit approximation for the number π: 3.14.
Thursday we finished up all the paper work this past week and had a meeting with Jane at the bank.
On Saturday we took Missy’s mom and brother up to look at the house and made a short list of things that needed to be fixed.
Now we are trying to get our apartment organized and a list of appliances and stuff we will need for our new house.
The seller has agreed to the offer on the house and we have signed the contract. So our closing date is now April 7th as long as our financing goes through (Jane at the bank said it would, but this is the last hurdle). Missy is really excited and so am I.
This is a big step and we have a lot of stuff we need to get done in the next 30 days.
Here are the pictures again.
Well hopefully! Today Missy and I took a big step and put a contract down in on a house in Holts Summit. We are waiting to hear back if the builder will accept our offer.
Missy took some pictures of the house and they are here.
Tonight Missy, Eric, Nick and I along with Nick’s little brother Matt played a high stakes game of poker with a $2 buyin. After 2 and a half long hours of poker battling these are the final results.
5th Place: Matt
4th Place: Nick
3rd Place: Missy
2nd Place: Jerry
Grand Poker Champion and Winner of $11: Eric (Pictured Here With All His Winnings)
Missy and I went to the Lincoln Day Dinner tonight and heard a speech by Jack Jackson who is running for Missouri State Auditor. The guy was a United States Marine Corps as a combat leader and a test pilot for Boeing where he helped develop the Harrier Jump Jet.
I think I am going to vote for him just because I think he would kick my butt if I didn’t, you should vote for him also.
Other then that the dinner was really good and we got to talk to people we normally don’t see.
Yeah, I didn’t know all the details about it either until I read this article at Wikipedia.
