Project "Black Betty" (bam-A-lam)

[likaroc13]

Figured I'd update a bit. We've been busy doing a lot of house hunting the past few months. I really wanted a place with enough land for a shop, but we just weren't finding much. We missed out on a few opportunities simply because the housing industry is booming around here. There are at least 10 potential buyers for each available home, & they're selling like hotcakes. Since we'd like to start a family in the near future, we decided to just alter our search criteria a bit & look for a temporary home. The plan is to live there for a few years & search for a long-term home then. Our agent found a place at the very beginning of this month, & we ended up submitting an offer right after it hit the market. The sellers accepted, & so far everything has gone pretty smoothly. We should be closing on July 24. While it isn't our dream home or anything, it's still a very nice place. We're excited about having our first house! "Black Betty" will also have a garage to reside in once she gets here.

Dad is still doing good & continues to take treatments every 3 weeks. He has since had another PET scan that showed no signs of cancer once again. He's getting mostly back to normal, even regrowing his hair. He came up to spend the night with us this past Friday, & we drove up to Goodlettsville, TN to pick up his newest toy. I'll post some pics of it later.
