Have a happy Thanksgiving! We are going to visit my parents and our friends Rob and Ali Cleymaet over the holiday. We return on 1 December. On 3 December we have our house orientation, and on 5 December our closing. Going to be a busy few weeks!

We snuck in and got some more house pictures. I apologize in advance for the poor quality. Carpet is going in. Appliances, lighting, and other flooring are in, along with the painted pickets in the railings. House will probably be pretty well locked up from now on, so likely no more indoor pix until our orientation on 3 December. Ashley meets with an interior designer tomorrow to get some decorating ideas.

Here is the latest round of pictures. We went to the Breck house last weekend, so there's one pic from that. The rest are of our new house. Ashley informs me that as of today the interior is pretty much done except for the carpet. Things are closing in fast!

House pics from today. They have done a lot of interior work, from putting in cabinets and countertops to tiling and bathtub installation. They've even put in the insulation in the basement. Enjoy!

Here are pictures of my recent trip to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. Besides attending a meeting, I also got to hang out at a great hotel with its own beach, and help them release baby sea turtles!
