I switched the colors around for fonts and background. Is this easier to read?
And added more posts per page.
I aim to please.
On the house front, we are in the middle of finding a lender who will not charge us $8700 in closing costs. Someone quoted us that and I swear [...]

We found a house.
Photos and details to come.
