Wii Update

So I haven't had much time to blog recently because I've been too distracted by purchasing a house and playing my new Wii. My wife got lucky at Wal-Mart asking about Wii's in stock as a lady was returning one up front. It is so much fun. I am a fan of the disc of games that comes with the Wii but we also purchased Super Mario Galaxy. It is very fun but remarkedly different from previous Mario games (in the fact that you often end up maneuvering Mario while he is upside down). Very fun.

House Update

We had our inspection on Saturday. It went very well. There are a
couple of issues that we are going to have fixed but the house is in
pretty good condition. We are still on track to close on January
24th.

Spaghetti Night

Christmas has come and gone and my wife and I are back home. It was
nice to see all of our family but it is definately nice to be back at
our place on our own schedule.

We are having one of my favorite meals for dinner, gluten-free
spaghetti. We use rice spaghetti for my pasta and my wife makes a
batch of regular spaghetti for herself. We use Prego sauce and add
ground beef, canned mushrooms, and a generous amount of garlic powder.
Top it all off with mozarella chees and you have one tasty
gluten-free meal.

LAN Partay

On Thursday my brother-in-law and I went to his coworker's house to
play computer games. We have done this for the last three or four
years and it was a blast as always. We played Counter-Strike,
Call-Of-Duty, and Quake 3 Arena. We ended up playing for around 12
hours (7am to 7pm). After we were done we ate at a chinese buffet.
There was nothing there that didn't have a noodle or wasn't breaded so
I ate what I thought would have the least gluten. My usual immediate
symptoms were not present last night but I am tired and congested
today, so I'm positive I was exposed to at least a little.

Merry Christmas!

I hope that everyone has a safe and blessed holiday.

Restaurant Review - Olive Garden

My wife and I were taken to Olive Garden this afternoon by our
realtor. We have been there before but when I presented my Celiac
rant to the waitor, he asked if I would like to see a gluten-free
menu. We were pleasantly surprised by this. Granted, they don't
offer gluten-free pasta, but at least they presented us with
easy-to-order options.

Happy Hunting

My wife and I have been looking for a house the last month or so.
We've looked at 10 houses in the last three days. We found one that
we liked but it was a smidge out of our price range. We went ahead
and made an offer on it but it wasn't what God had in store for us.
After that fell through we submitted an offer on the second house on
our list. We ultimately accepted the counter offer. Which means we
have just entered into a world of pain.

We love this house and it was cheaper than the first house we tried
for. It's no farther away from work than I'm used to but it's closer
to church and family. It has a nice yard (we need to fence it in) for
the dogs and plenty of space for future additions to the Willis
family.
