This and That

Several people have told me I need to put more pictures of my house up, but I feel like all I've been doing is posting pictures and half of the reason I started this blog was so that friends and family who we don't get to talk to that often can keep up to date with our going ons. So, sorry to those who want more house pictures, none this time. My biggest news is that I found a job working one day a week at the local auto auction. It's perfect for me since I didn't really want to go back to work, plus it pays pretty well. Yesterday was my first day and it was amazing to see all these used car dealers with thousands of dollars of cash in their pockets. I've never seen so many hundred dollar bills in my life! We've now met five of our neighbors, all of whom seem very nice. The lady in the house on our left works crazy long hours and we don't see her really at all. She has a black lab who barks every time we come home and we always feel bad for him, cooped up in the house by himself for so long. The couple on our right is also very nice, they gave us a cake on Halloween as an official welcome-to-the-neighborhood thing. We haven't eaten it yet, it's in our fridge (luckily they don't know about this blog!). They've been giving all kinds of tips about the neighborhood, when and where trash gets picked up and things like that, it's been great. It's a very quiet neighborhood, which we like. I do wish it was a tiny bit more social, but I really can't complain. It's in a very nice area of Bel Air, so there's not much crime and no welfare families. We soooo lucked out! Oh, for those of you who I haven't told this story to, the only reason we were able to buy such a nice house is that the people we bought it from weren't using a realtor and for some reason had no idea how much their house was worth. We got it for close to $30,000 less than what they should have been asking! The girl had bought it from her sister, so we're assuming she didn't pay full price either and maybe that's why they didn't know it was worth so much. Whatever the reason, it got us a really nice house! I think that's probably enough rambling for one day. Next time I promise to post more pictures, I have to admit I do love showing off our house.
