Planet Earth in Blu Ray
Amazing. With our recent purchase of a Playstation 3, I went out and used a Best Buy gift card (Thanks Mark and Miranda!!) to help purchase Planet Earth in Blu Ray. I dragged my friend Jean with me on our way to karate to buy it, haha.
I'm someone who's easily impressed by nature (watching the lightning from our balcony during thunderstorms is a favorite passtime), and man, it's really something else. I don't know how they were able to capture some of the scenes they have in there, but I highly recommend it to everyone!
Update for 323 Bur Oak
The outlook is bleak for now - someone has a (much) higher bid in, but there's no way to know how much higher. There is one slim chance left for us though: Apparently the bidders are demanding that the basement gets surveyed (for what reason, I have no idea), and the sellers have no way of doing so (again, for what reason I have no idea). If the bidders don't budge on that, they may drop the entire offer, leaving us with the house!
Not sure how great of a chance that is, but everything else has been weird as of late, so why not this? Regardless, I don't think there's much of a chance for this house falling into our laps. We will be continuing the house hunt later this week, I am sure. I'll post updates when there's something to post!
Cheers.
323 Bur Oak Avenue
For the past couple of weeks, we've been doing some house hunting. We've actually put down a few offers on a few places, and well, long story short, we didn't get them. Our latest offer (our fourth) is on a house we would absolutely love, and I've included some pictures of it below.

We really hope we get this place, but based on our past experiences we aren't counting any chickens... It's got 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, unfinished basement with frontloading washer/dryer, all kitchen appliances (makes Nadia happy with the KitchenAid refridgerator), and a bunch of other things. It's an end unit townhouse and its in a great location. Minutes from Nadia's parents and cousins Kin and Ian (with little Maelynne and Sierra too!).
We'll find out tonight! I'll post an update when we do...
