This was a really cool thing. As an individual investor, I believe in iShares from a financial perspective. They are low fee highly efficient ways for individuals to invest wisely. So, when they called me to be in a commercial about iShares I was really excited. The commercial finally made it to YouTube (I stand up at 37 seconds into the video and then walk on a red carpet for a few seconds):

We like our house. But we are realizing it will not be exactly what we want in the long run.

So, long run, here is what we really want and/or want to do in our new house shortly after we move in:

Features Of The House

• Somewhere between 1600 and 2000 square feet
• A single large kick it room
• 2-3 kid bedrooms
• 1 master bedroom
• Kitchen that opens onto the dining room/living room
• "Office"
• Garage

Existing Features or Things to Tweak Right After Movein

• Steam shower
• Compost pile
• Energy Efficiency review by Dirk's friend Jay
• Fireplace with wood pellet stove insert

Here are some of our avatars that we use sometimes. Yay avatars!

Since comments are getting kinda crazy, here goes:

1) We may delete your comment for any reason. It's our site.
2) We may edit your comment for any reason but we're pretty likely to edit it if you abuse: foul language, personal insults, and/or rudeness.
3) If your comment seems to serve mainly as a vehicle to add a link to this site, we'll probably keep the comment and the URL and delete the link. That way people looking for your site may find your unsolicited useless post here.
4) Your comment is filtered by Mollom so if you don't like the idea of your data being sent to them, don't comment. Maybe instead you could contact us and I can post whatever you have to say.
5) Your comment will be reported to Mollom if I feel that it is spam. This will be bad for your ability to comment on other sites on the interweb that use Mollom. Just saying is all...

Last weekend we went on a hut trip with friends Sleeper, and Steve and Kaycie Rosen. See all the wonderful scenery in a gallery of photos from Harry Gates Hut Trip.

Sorry, Charlie.

There's an old family joke in Nikki's family that stems from a time when Nikki went fishing. She almost immediately caught a fish and it was exciting and she exclaimed, "I love fishing!" A little while later, she hadn't caught any more fish and she said "I hate fishing!". So the proper use of the phrase is when someone is being a little fickle about a topic you say "I love fishing! I hate fishing!" and then everyone laughs.

I love Gardening!

This morning I woke up to go water our back yard. The grass is looking surprisingly nice, many of the flowers are blooming and a "chocolate flower" (berlandiera lyrata) that has grown just massive in the past year and has 30+ blooms and this morning I bent over and I actually smelled the chocolate from the blooms. It was pretty amazing! I LOVE GARDENING!

I hate Gardening!

Then I looked over at the other chocolate flower that has been struggling only to notice that it is completely and utterly fried to death and d-e-a-d dead. I HATE GARDENING!
