1. Least important on the list is that I am now 31. Though I received many kind words, phone calls and gifts my favorite is my sister Boo’s tribute.

3. We made an offer on a home in Meridian and have since walked away from it. I will admit we came in low but given the current market conditions I didn’t feel it was unreasonable. Unfortunately, the sellers were unable to get the house down to a level that I felt worked for us (they may be over their heads in it) so we dropped it. The real down point here is that my wife and I made the mistake of getting our kids excited about it before the deal was set in stone and now they are heart broken, but recovering.
So for all of you, that is the current update from the Boise front.
