Soccer

Jonas is playing soccer again this Spring. We wanted to get him in to BMX, but the track is on the other side of town and we'd have to buy him a new (used) bike, helmet, and pay for each race entry. Soccer, on the other hand, cost us $80 to register and $10 for a new pair of cleats. Maybe we'll do BMX next year- but then again, the track will be even farther away as we will be in our new house by September.

Yep- a new house! We put earnest money down on a new construction house in League City! It is perfect- in a cul de sac, within walking distance of good friends, has a dedicated study, covered front and back porches. We are very excited, to say the least. We spent the other morning spending gobs of imaginary money talking about what we'll "need" to buy once we move in. A new tv (for the HD upgrade, of course), a real desk, bar stools, patio furniture, a bbq pit, a chimenea or fire pit. But in reality, we don't need anything. We moved from a fully functional house in to this apartment, after all. And while we have gotten rid of some stuff (our bbq pit, for example) we managed just fine for 6 years without patio furniture or a fire pit. It's fun to think about. We won't have to spend money on any new appliances, ceiling fans, fixtures, or window blinds, as those are all included.

Jonas will be able to play soccer in the yard and we'll be less than 5 minutes from the practice fields. Yipee!!!
