FINALLY!!!

Well guys, I finally closed on my house. It has been an ordeal from hell, but it's done. I've aged quite a bit from it all. Now comes the "fun" part of unpacking everything. We'll be done in a couple of weeks probably. I will have a housewarming gig and will let all of you know with plenty of time to make plans. I will try to time it for when Vorrence is in town. As I'm sure you know, all of you are welcome to drop by any time, unless I'm taking the Browns to the Super Bowl at the time. Other than that, it's cool.

Orange and Blue

Sheila and I were talking with her brother yesterday, and he mentioned that he was going to be going up for the Orange and Blue game next month, on April 22. Sheila and I are going to try to make it up there as well, so we should try to have a mini reunion that weekend in Gainesville/Lake City.

I'm Finally Closing on my House

I wanted to share with you guys that after waiting for over 1 year, I am finally closing on my house in Ft. Lauderdale. Some of you may know that shortly after our wedding, Thania and I moved in with my older sister in Doral (west Miami-Dade County). This was meant to be a temporary measure until our house was completed. Since we believed the B.S. we heard from the builder, we figured we'd be in Doral for 1-2 months. However, the builder missed its mark by one year exactly since we were supposed to close in March 2005. Living at someone else's home for one year is something nobody should experience. No matter how nice you are, or how clean you are, there are always time when you're just in the way. That's how it has been for us all this time - not to mention that I commute about 100 miles a day. Now that is all about to end. We are scheduled to close Monday, March 20. I am moving in that same day with my air mattress. Thania will follow with the bed later in the week. Nonetheless, I am very excited and wanted to share this news with my friends. Now when y'all come down, I expect a stop-over at my pad for a drink.

Baby Sierra

Ok, boys and girls. She's finally arrived. Jorge and Sheila's little girl came into the world at 1:36 PM today (March 2, 2006). She is nice and pink with a full head of black, black hair. She's weighing in at only six pounds, seven ounces and is eighteen inches long. It was a natural delivery and took Sheila only twenty minutes to pop "peanut" out. Everybody is healthy and in great shape. Unfortunately, she has Jorge's toes. Yuck- Sierra toes.
