That, too, passed.

Some things have changed since last time.

The car is resolved, I'm thankful for insurance for insurance money. I'm now in the market for another car.

The big news is that we have an accepted offer on a house.  It goes into escrow tomorrow and if everything goes well, in 45 days (4/8/13) we'll be moving into our house sitting on 2.44 acres of land on the Big Island. Jessie is coming for an extended visit in a few weeks and the house will close while she's here so we can move in together.  I hope she'll make a honey-do list for me to work on while after she's gone.

If you're reading this we're probably friends. This means you're invited to stay with us in Hilo.

The last remaining piece of this puzzle is the rest of my family: the wife and animals.

I've even been offered some side work by the end of the summer. I'm thankful for things to be finally lining up.
