Two weeks to go…


These will probably be the two longest weeks of our lives.  There have been so many ups and downs through this process it’s almost comical.  This last week our agent advised us not to schedule the movers or do anything else… Right after I scheduled the movers. Luckily that turned out not to be an issue.  Our buyers buyer had to jump through some hoops for his loan.  Apparently he got all that straightened out.  The closing attorneys office called and wanted payoff information for our mortgage and turns out our buyers want to buy some of our furniture!  Hey selling is easier than moving… so,  it looks like we’re on track.  Today we’re going up to Rebecca’s for a belated birthday lunch and to deliver some Adirondack chairs I made for her small patio.  Ashley and Josh are going to give her their whole patio set, and we’ll give her ours.  I plan on making a new set once my shop is set up.  This afternoon Rebecca is going to the  mountains to run in a benefit Warrior Run.
Rebecca had a plumber over once again to finally hunt down a leak.  Her kitchen ceiling has been taken down again but this time the leak was found and fixed.  Now we can get back to putting her kitchen back together.
We’ve had great weather recently, cool nights and warming into the 80s during the day, hardly any AC running at all. The end of this week were supposed to hit summer with 90+ temps,  oh well, it was nice while it lasted.  Still could use more rain!!!
Next week we’ll send out a blast email signing off for about a week until we get everything up and running at Lake Arrowhead.

Shots didn't seem to bother her.

This Blue bird is nesting in our back yard and time to time sees reflection in the window, he'll fly up and peck the window for awhile.

So far, so good...

Well we get a little closer everyday, 28 days and counting to the first closing.  On Friday we finally signed the contract at Lake Arrowhead. Our agent is a stiuckler for details, but I guess that's why we used her.  Sometime this coming week we'll go to the design center to pick out appliances.  Our "design" plans are changing from "mission" to mountain cabin...kind of!  We've had a hot week in Georgia with little to no rain, this coming week the temps are supposed to moderate, just wish we could get a few days of rain.  Ashley and Josh are doing great, Tinsley is getting big, smiling and starting to laugh.  Rebecca's job has changed things up on her that just isn't working out, so she may be on active duty orders all summer, including her TDY to Botswana SA while she looks for a Dentist good enough to work for her :)  That's it for now, gotta clear out the attic while its cool, we'll try to have some good pictures next post.
