house and birthday fun

Welll... our original attempt at home ownership turned into a slight disappointment. I blame the Russians. well, not all Russians... the sellers of the house. they didn't quite understand why a house would appraise for $7K less than what it appraised for in 2005. I'm sure it has nothing to do with the declining housing market.
But that is okay. It made Angela and I realize that we do not need to get that house in that market. So we are looking again. We think we have found a new one. This one is $15K less that the original house, but feels like it has much more house. It has two fireplaces, 3 bedrooms, a loft, and huge back yard. We put in a bid this afternoon, so keep your fingers crossed.
Today also just happens to be Ang's birthday. Happy Birthday Angela!! For her birthday, Ang got a massage, some flowers, and a nice dinner at Eddie Merlot's (a fancy restaurant in Indianapolis). Altogether, I think she had a good time. You will have to ask her. She also has a surprise coming to her at work tomorrow, plus a fun new game that comes out in a couple days (Wii Fit).
That's the major updates. We'll keep you posted once we know more on our house hunt.
