Ben's Blurb - What's New...

So, I'm in a little bit of hot water this SuperBowl Sunday. Anyone who reads our blog automatically knows why:





As a football fan, it would be a cardinal sin to miss the Superbowl and to miss seeing a team possibly go undefeated for an entire season. This is something that we will be potentially be able to tell our kids about. (At least I will anyway). So, my wonderful and understanding wife is sort of okay with us not going out on a Hot Date today. I will certainly make it up to her in the near future though.





I've been deliberating for a very long time on whether to get a new Game Console for the house. I finally decided that I definitely wanted one. So for the past couple of weeks I've been trying to decide on an XBOX360 Elite, or a Playstation 3. After talking it over with Andrea, I decided to get the PS3!!! It is very exciting to have and I can't wait to play it. It also comes with a Blu-Ray player as well. A very exciting weekend indeed.

Some sad news is that I've decided to sell my Tc. This was a pretty hard decision to make as I am pretty attached to this car. Compared to the cars that I've had in the past, this one has been the best. Unfortunately it just isn't very practical to hang on to anymore. Andrea's car is paid off and selling mine would save us over $300 per month. Looking towards the future and wanting to save money it seemed like the best thing to do. Also, as we're looking for a new house in the next few months - having the remaining loan for the car come off of my credit report will help too. All of my life having good credit has been a priority, so this little adjustment could help us a tiny bit in the loan department as well.

My Dad is giving us his truck once my car sells, so I'll drive that whenever we need to have a second vehicle available. If you know of anyone looking for a little sporty black car, you know where to find me!

Here's a pic of the new ride (close to it anyway):

Ben - You may want to check with Kay Limbaugh. She was looking for a nice car for one of her boys (unless she got one already). At least you'd know that your ride was going to a good home. He he.
