Cha Ching!!!!

We need to sell houses more often, picking up checks with 5 digits before the decimal point is awesome!!!!

I wont state a number, cause that just doesn't seem cool to do, but believe me when I say, it was a good number. Will be able to support us down in Arizona for about 4 months (maybe a hair longer) if we really needed it, with any luck, we will be able to get set up in Tucson and get some steady income rolling in and use some of the house money to pay off some bills, or buy me some new toys, whichever :)

Crystal bought her plane ticket down today, her and Elliot will be coming down to meet me in Arizona the 18th, so anyone that's here in town that wants to see her and the baby before she leaves, call her and make it happen.

Dad and I, and maybe Joy (last I heard she was still on the fence about going) have a conference to go to in October. Means I will miss Crystals bday, but I have a gift in mind that will hopefully sooth her over :) Much to my disgust (ha, yeah right!) the conference is in Las Vegas (WOOT!!!!) so I used my timeshare to get us a room down there, 2 bedrooms, no view (not that there is much of a view from the resort anyway) but doesn't cost us anything for the 4 nights we are there, god I love that thing, once its paid off it will be soooooo nice to have that thing around. There's even a resort just outside of Tucson, so anyone that wants to come down, get in touch w/ me and I'll see if I can get you a room.

Our good friend Ronda has posted a poem on her blog in our...honor? She is talented beyond belief, and I'm not even considering the fact that she can belch the alphabet in 3 different languages :) just kidding, I think its really only one language, but who's counting?

EDIT: I have been informed that she can also do it backwards, while I'm still waiting for visual and audible verification, I'm going to take her word for it.

You can see her handy work here :

Thank goodness her and Steven are coming down for the Superbowl/Elliots 1st Bday. They are really going to be missed, not to say Crystals family and my lil' bro and his family and big mike or anyone else wont be missed, its just that these 2 hold some very special spots in our hearts...now I need a tissue...great.

Off to do "MORE" packing, good grief, when does it all end! I don't remember buying half the crap we have packed already! Going to need another midnight run to Walmart for boxes I think, oh goodie, as if that place wasn't crawling with freaks in the middle of the day, midnight is even worse, "the night time, is the right time" as my cult used to chant...oh well, that's a different blog entry all together :) 3 days to go!
