Yo, Ho!

We watched Pirates 3 last night.  I won’t say I’m disappointed but it definitely wasn’t as good as the previous two.  At three hours (with previews) it was just too long.  They could have cut a good half an hour out just by cutting back on the special effects.  There were some places where you couldn’t help but think, “Wow, ILM is just trying to show off.”  Scenes that should have last 30 seconds were stretched to minutes.  Then, to top it all off, I’m not sure I like the ending.  I won’t spoil it for anyone though.  You can predict it if you pay attention but I was hoping I would be wrong.

PS – There is something after the credits so stick around.  It isn’t vital to the story but it’s worth watching.

There’s an evil monkey living in my closet.

We went to the NC Zoo this past Saturday and who ever designed that place should be shot.  Somehow, they managed to make it UP HILL BOTH WAYS!  We started on the African side and for about the first 3/4 of the 8 mile trek, the walk was up hill.

The animals and stuff were pretty cool and of course my favorite part was the monkeys.  Monkeys are awesome.  The only thing better than a money is a Ninja Monkey.  Jenna liked the Puffins, which I guess are artic bird kind of like penguins but they can actually fly.

Overall it was a good trip but I don’t plan on going back until we have a kid who is old enough to walk the whole thing without me having to carry him/her.

Pictures..

by

.. are not going up today.  There was a small issue with the electritian that didn’t get worked out in time for him to finish yesterday.  He will hopefully finish today so I plan to take pictures tomorrow, weather permitting.

People looked at the house

by

It finally happened!  We had our first viewer last night.  We should find it in a day or two what they thought of the house.  Hopefully it will all be good.

Pictures are Up

by

I’ve added all of the pictures we have so far.  A total of 137!  We will be going out this weekend to check things out but the plumbers, electrician and HVAC wont be finished until Tuesday.  The plumbers decided to try to give us a tub instead of a shower in the master bath.  Once they get that fixed we will take new pictures.  So new pictures will go up Tuesday or Wednesday hopefully.

House for Sale

by

It’s finally finished.  The last few days have been spent trying to get two sites up and running.  This one still needs work, but I’m calling it quits on the other one for now.  Check it out here: http://8522brightloop.com/  It’s basically just an information site about the our house so that people will be able to see better (and by better I mean larger) pictures of the rooms.  Please let me know if you find anything that doesn’t work right or needs adjusting.

The New House

by

Construction on the new house started a couple weeks ago and they have already laid the foundation and put up the frame.  This week they are supposed to have plumbing, HVAC and electrical in the do their parts.  I will be posting pictures as quick as I can but I already have over 100 so it might take me a few days to get them all posted.

Hello world!

So, here’s the deal, I figured this would be an easy way to keep everyone up to date on what is going on with us.  We’ll see how well it works.
