It's a bio-scarf.

It's not just a beard, it's a bio-scarf. I guess I always knew that intellectually, but emotionally I just realized it. I shaved it off last week so the dust-masks and paint-respirators would fit, and I miss it.

It's cold out, and my face needs its fur back.

Home Sweet Home

Well, we have finally achieved our goal of buying a home. It has been a long 2 year search that culminated in a month long mad dash to the finish line. We found the house we wanted to buy on August 29th and closed September 30th. It is a small home that our small family can grow into. Right now we are in the process of renovating certain aspects of it to make it ours. We are throwing some paint on the walls, and redoing the kitchen. Alexandra's bedroom is finished, ours is close - we just need a few touch ups. I have completed assembly on 5 of 8 cabinets. The Ikea cabs were very easy so far. I am sure that we will see how it is when we get to the installation part.

I will try to write some updates soon.
