Signed, Sealed… well, not delivered

Well the big announcement I talked about yesterday was that today Carrie and I just signed a contract to have a house built for us in the cool neighborhood of Brentwood/Crestview. The house will begin construction in the very near future. 

We are really excited. I mean, yes, it is somewhat horrifying. Don’t get me wrong. This all feels very adult. Money, loans, contracts, signatures… etc. etc. But at the same time, the builder we are working with has been great so far, the changes to the plans that we made have worked out great, and I think it is going to be an awesome house for us.

Pierre will finally room to get himself a cat tree.

I will finally have room for a grill, a garden, and a chicken coop. Yes, I am getting chickens. What of it? I eat a lot of eggs.

Anyway, that’s the news. 

On the cycling front, had a good ride today with some cycling friends. It was really windy, and my legs alternated between feeling great and feeling like lead. To be honest, I think I am still dehydrated from Thursday night. It’s been creeping up in the 90s, and it always takes a few rides to acclimate to the heat and remember just how much water one has to drink.

I hope a bunch of good Saturdays are being had. :)
