License, Registration, and Hanging some Fans

So in the last couple days we've gotten our new driver's licenses, and spent a bucket of money on some ceiling fans.

The jury is still out on that one.

Buying a House and Moving Away

So as I said in my last post, I had some other things to say that probably deserved their own. Well here goes. Today it's all about buying a house and moving across country. Hopefully some of this stuff can help anyone who is thinking about doing either or both of these things for the first time.
