Last night we got the final copies of our contract to sell and put a bid on another house. The sellers have until 5:00 pm tonight to counter or accept. We really like this house, so I hope they like our offer.

Today was the first day I rode my bike to work. It was really fun. Ryan and I rode from his house and it took us about 30 minutes. We got lost in 2 neighborhoods. We should be able to do it quicker next time.

This year I started my first big project at work. It was decided to convert our old PBX to Cisco IP telephony.

Ryan bought a bike today, so we are going to start riding to work a couple days a week. Finally, I will use my bike on a regular basis. Since we bought our bikes last year, I have used mine probably 6 times. Hopefully we can make it the entire way to work.
