This past weekend was pretty busy. Saturday my mom and sister came into town and Alisse and I went to a wedding. It was one of Alisse’s friends from High School. The wedding and the reception were nice. The best part was watching the bride and groom dance to “Jump On It” during the reception.

Sunday was Alisse’s (Chicago) Bridal Shower. I went along to to eat food and assist with the present opening. We had a good time and got lots of cool things, like a blender, and stand mixer and knives.

I have a 401K from my previous job and I want to roll it over, but I’m having some trouble deciding what where to roll it over too. My old 401K is with Fidelity. Here are the options I can think of and some possible benefits:

• Fidelity Rollover IRA
  • Same company my 401K
  • Probably would be the easiest
• Transamerica
  • I would rollover my old 401K into my new 401K
  • All of my retirement money would be in one 401K
• Scottrade
  • I already have a brokerage account with Scottrade for stock trading
  • Access to lots of mutual funds

Have you had to rollover a 401K before? Any other ideas?

I was disappointed yesterday when I read that Obama voted for the FISA bill going against his promise to vote against it. I still think he is the best candidate for president but wish he would have voted ‘no’. It’s also interesting that Clinton voted ‘no’ for the bill. Maybe she will try to make a comeback based on this vote?

Over the 4th of July weekend, my sister and her boyfriend went to New York City. While watching the fireworks he proposed and Amanda said ‘yes’.

So, both of my future brother-in-laws are named Chris. Hopefully, it won’t be too confusing.

Anyway, Congratulations to Amanda and Chris!
