Organized and Usable Office

I think I need to better define this one.  I did clean it up and can find a lot more stuff than several months ago.  Usable, yes.  Jared and I can both sit in here independently and work.  I still think it has a lot to go to look like my dream office.

Purge every room of the house (get rid of average 100 items per room)

I don't know if I got rid of 100 items per room, perhaps on average I did.  I did go through a purge a la this 40 bags in 40 days inspiration.  I took it to do 40 areas of the house.  I did go through quite a lot.  The office was the most difficult, but I threw away a lot of stuff.  I didn't keep track of how much, and some areas could be better than they are, but moving forward is moving forward.

New Carpeting

Well, this won't get done.  We did have it priced out.  About $6000 for the whole house with Empire.  This included the first floor to get a darker wood-like product.  Instead we had the carpets cleaned for less than $500.  We will probably get new carpets once Caitlyn is potty-trained.  But then we may get a dog.  Who knows.  We'll probably get new carpets just before we move out of this house.

Passports

Passport applications are in the mail.  I can't believe it took me almost 3 years to do this, but the reminder from our travel agent regarding our upcoming anniversary trip, kind of kicked me in the butt to do this.  However, I only got them for me and Jared.  $110 was too much money to get one for Josh or Caitlyn, to be usable for only 5 years and they don't have any trips planned.

Date #17 & Restaurant #10

just a quick nite out to see the movie JOBS.  We used a Groupon to check out the new Star Cinema Grill.  Should this count as a Restaurant too?

August 11

Date #15

We met some friends for dinner at Lincoln Whiskey Kitchen again, and then to Gameworks for a fun night playing video games.
