Man, this has been one helluva week.

Last weekend, we moved out of our old house that we’ve sold. All week I’ve been dealing with last minute things like disconnecting the utilities and such, as well as looking for a new home here in Austin. Today the couple buying our house is closing on it.

We found our new home in Austin, and I’ll refer to it as the Swankri-La, because that’s what it is according to the owner. It’s pretty pimp, and its right where we want to be geographically. It’s got a great view of the capitol, as well as a great relaxation pool (complete with fountains). I’ll not rub it in anyone’s face any more. The really interesting thing about finding this house, is that we found it, not through the local newspaper, or via a free locator service, but via this weblog.

I posted that I was looking for someplace in Austin, and an aquaintance sent me an email about a guy that was moving and needed someone to rent his place. A week later and we’ve signed all the paperwork and I’ve already gotten lessons on how to take care of the pool.

The power of weblogging: I found a place to live and another guy found someone to take care of his house while he’s not living in it.

Amazing. As the title of the post says: TGIF.
