Home from Houston after the Holidays

We went to Houston this year, for Poppy’s first Christmas and spent almost a week with my family.  Everyone loved and was amazed by Poppy, of course and she did splendidly.  She traveled quite well, sleeping for the first part of both flights and playing quietly for the second.  She also did a remarkably good job dealing with all the people she didn’t really know and the back and forth craziness of going from house to house to house.

we refinanced our mortgage today

We have refinanced (or at least started the process) and locked in at 4.96 after paying a point (it was 5.6 without the point, lenders wanting up-front money and assurance in today’s market). We are rolling in the point and closing costs into the new loan and we’ll still be saving $140/month over our current loan (and if we hadn’t rolled in the costs, it would only have saved us $21/month more).

It’s been a busy couple of years…

We were talking about this recently and we realized that in the past two years: We have lived in 5 different places (our apt in Columbus, Anita’s mom’s for a few months, Chili’s house for almost a year, Houston with my family for a couple of months, and finally our new house) I have worked 6 positions in 3 companies, not counting consulting gigs on the side.

Photos Uploaded

I’ve finally processed and uploaded the photos from my camera.  We’ve got new ones from september, october, and november.  Most are of Poppy, but not all of them.  Some great halloween photos, some camping, and many other occasions where the camera was brought out. You can see some on the homepage of this site, or poke around flickr at: http://flickr.com/photos/zeroasterisk/
