Another goal: Accopmlished!

I have wanted braces for a loooooooooooooooong time.

In July of 2006 I paid the 5K and got them on. Friday, they came off! I went to the dentist afterwards to get a cleaning -- so all in all, a long day that ended with a headache. But the braces are off! And I am thrilled with the results.

In other news, we are still scouring through RE listings and now we have a (new) short list. We will be going over that again and setting up appointments for either some point during the week, and Paul will go up on his own, or on Saturday.

An idea that came up yesterday is, if we do not find what we are looking for in terms of investment/living at the place as well, in our time frame, to rent month to month, in a furnished apartment. The effect being two-fold.

1. Hello, motivation!
2. Not having to "set up house" -- move everything in to move everything back out.

But, I am focusing on finding a place so that does not even have to be broached.
