Yes!

After hemming and hawing with the first couple who made an offer, we finally got a legitimate offer from another couple tonight. We accepted it without even countering. Just want to get this place SOLD!

The plan is to close both houses on Sept. 30. We'll be moving some stuff that day, strictly because we can't WAIT to get in our house again, and the majority of it Friday and over the weekend. We have to be out of our 1967 house after Oct. 3.

Hurricane Ivan hit Alabama last week, so we made a trip out to see our little casa today and make sure it's OK. Thank goodness, it suffered nothing worse than a few twigs in the yard. While we were in town, we ate at Mama Leone's (best - ok, only - pizza place in town) and met some of our soon-to-be neighbors, including the sister of one of Darwin's aunts. A really nice lady - it's great to know someone there!

Because we've got so little time before our closing, we've had to scrap kitchen remodeling plans for the moment. That will come later, which is probably better anyway so I can evaluate our needs from within the house. We're also going to remodel part of the master bath and add a standing shower.

Today we went to Lowe's and stood in the showers together to see what size we need!
