Pat McD and made a quick trip to Wilburton to visit Bubba and Rachel. Left Saturday morning, came back Sunday morning. It was a little cold and we got wet Sunday, but it was a good ride. We took 43 on the way home and it turned out to be the best route I’ve ever ridden. Through the mountains and by lakes and some of the fastest curves I’ve ever gotten to ride. It was great.  It was good to see Bubba and Rachel too. They have a kick-ass saloon behind their house that we got to party in a little.

Well I honestly never thought I would say this but I put an offer on a house today. It seems like my life is finally falling into place. It’s all happening at once and that’s ok but it’s actually happening. In 6 months I’ll be a dad and in 30 days if all goes well I’ll be a homeowner. We found a great little house near downtown Mckinney over a month ago and when I finally got in contact with a realtor we found out it had a contract on it. I was a little heartbroken because we had our hearts set on it. Well this past weekend I got a call from the realtor saying the contract had fallen through and that I needed to get my finances in order so I could make an offer. So I spent a few hours filling out paperwork and got it all submitted to a lender that specializes in VA and FHA loans. Long story short, I made an offer this morning. There’s still a chance that we might not get it, but I had to take that chance. It’s a great little house with an updated kitchen and bathrooms and a huge backyard for furbutt. We plan on growing a garden and maybe even getting a chicken or two. I’ll keep you posted here.
