Well at least in 2's. Adam aka Spankee, the genius behind "My Cardboard Mistress" announced his good news earlier today so I'm going to make another life changing announcement of my own.
Last week, the wifey and I got some good news. We bought our first house! We put in an offer on a house in mid-March and had it accepted by the homeowner and bank. The real thing that makes the whole process incredible is that the house was a short sale. Anybody who has dealt with a short sale before knows that they can take a long time to get approved. Friends of ours had to wait 6 months for approval! Ours went through in a little over 2 weeks.
We're both really stoked about moving into OUR house. I actually own the house we live in but we have simply outgrown it. We are only 2 people and a very energetic boxer named Heidi. For the 3 living beings in the 980 sq.ft house, we have a lot of things. I will now get my own mancave where I can have all of my baseball cards, collectables, and video games in its own dedicated room!
I'll take the 2 Piazzas off your hands! Dec. '93 and July '96 , thanks!
