Big Money, No Whammies!

By
We went to dinner last night with Jon's parents and two of his nephews. After dinner we opened our fortune cookies and mine said this:


Woohoo!! The first part of that is right so the second must be as well, right??

Right!

To help fate out a little bit, we bought a North Carolina Powerball ticket using the numbers on the back of my fortune...and all the other fortunes from our table as well just in case.

Wish us luck!

    Ellen,
    I think at this point I must remind you on the verbal contract you entered in as the responded, i.e. Ellen Elizabeth Boeke Jurischk (you), in which stated, verbally, that you will share every and all lottery winnings with the family, i.e. brother ("in law", i.e. co-respondent Jonathan Jurischk Boeke, who is under the executive order in subsection I(a1) of the verbal contract which states co-respondent already agrees with and will adhere to all verbal contracts the respondent enters into without question) and nephew of the respondent. Percentage of share in the lottery winnings to be divided up is as follows by an exact quote by the respondent, "A whole shitload of money yo".
    (2) copies completed, (1) sent to respondent and (1) sent to co-respondent.
    No further.

    Matt - Your winnings are in the mail. Is a check for $0.00 legal tender?

I spy...

I was looking for directions on Google Maps today when I realized that Google had just added "birds-eye" views for Fort Collins. So, of course, I went to see what our home looks like. Much to my surprise, I found that Google just happened to catch us on the morning of March 29, 2012. Our moving day! So, you better think twice before deciding to run around naked in your back yard. You never know when the aerial photography plane is going to fly by!

The garden is in!  If our Scarechicken does its job, we will soon have a nice crop of heirloom tomatoes, onions, hot peppers, green beans, basil, parsley and thyme! Huge thanks to my parents for their help getting the area ready. It was a jungle!

Boeke Prospective City Analysis Matrix AND House Walk Through!

By
Several people have asked us how we picked Fort Collins as a place to live so I thought I would share the story with all of you. Or rather, the Matrix. Because that is how we decided. We called it the Prospective City Analysis and this is what it looked like (click to enlarge): Once we were mostly done filling in the Matrix (we had a hard time finding some city data), we sat on it for awhile and "tried out" the front runners in our heads. That would be why we told some of you that we were going to live in Durango...or Prescott...or Seattle...or Manitou Springs (a late entry after the Matrix was completed). But each time, something didn't feel quite right to us so we would move on to the next place on our radar, hoping something would stick.  And Fort Collins did. It didn't wither under the intense scrutiny that I put it under and when we got here to do our final "walk through", it felt right.  And that feeling hasn't gone away. I love that I can ge
