Hello everybody, and welcome to Books Unbound.

We've decided that this is going to be our best episode ever.

The best one.

You should have seen the manic look in Ariel's eyes when she started talking just now.

That was hilarious.

I was like, here I go.

I don't remember if it's Raylene's turn or my turn to host,

but I'm just jumping in with the energy.

I'm glad because I feel just sacked of all brain power, energy.

I spent the morning getting my tires swapped so I can have my winter tires on,

which involved, you know, carrying tires to and from

my car, which was not fun. I'm tired now. My back hurts. And also, we were, we talked to a person

at the bank about our mortgage. So that was a really fun morning for me. Woo! So, yeah, that's

where I'm at packing. It's pretty funny that over the, like, that this

podcast has chronicled both of us buying houses. I know. I love that. We didn't think it was possible,

but look at us go. It's gone through me recording in the car to you in your era right now.

I do think, I mean, people can't hear, they don't, nobody, I'm sure can tell really

the difference in the episodes, but the beginning of our episodes have been really different

in the last month because it always starts with Raylene's husband, Kyle,

asking some mortgage-related email question.

And Raylene goes, I don't know, email someone.

I have to record the podcast.
