This post was going to orignally be about how excited I am about seeing the house tonight, but sadly, I don't think we will. Paul is still stuck at the Smucker's Plant in the boonies of Kentucky. He won't be home before it's dark (or for the weekend). Guess we'll just give them some more time to get that drywall up before we go and see it. Maybe I'll have a new picture if I decide to head out that way this weekend.
Mom and Dad have a contract on their house - and they've got to close on August 16th and move out COMPLETELY by August 31st! I don't know how they are going to do it, especially since mom has been down in Atlanta for the last week looking at houses and they still haven't found what they are looking for - oh the headache.

Small changes and the waiting game
I've been sorta busy and distracted, so this blog has recieved ver little attention from me. Here is the latest scoop:
-House is still without drywall... really hoping that it will get moving this week. We're about 30 days from the orignal closing date
-Someone put in an offer on my parent's house (finally!) They looked at it last night for 2 hours. Made an offer, my parents counter offered, the buyers counter offered back and today my parents plan to counter again. Wow. The buyers want to close BY AUGUST 16th! That's the DAY Paul and I had been planning on moving (pending our closing on August 12). This may be a bit crazy. They have looked at quite a few houses in Atlanta and have narrowed down to a certain area with very specific amentities. AGH!
It's going to be a crazy next 2 months... pray for us all. Justin is returning from his roadtrip to Texas with a friend from Carolina. I'm going to pick him up at the airport tonight. Yay! For going to the airport twice in 2 days!

Quick update
Paul and I visited the house last night (he just could not resist the urge to see the changes that 2 days of working on it would be). It looks like the electrical is just about done... it's awesome to see where everything will be. There were some issues with a few things (fridge location, master closet, lights...), but most everything is taken care of! Yay!
We spent almost 45 minutes talking to our neighbors across the street. They are very nice, he's a fire fighter and she works in Raleigh, and they have a 2 year old daughter (she is precious!) 2 dogs and 2 cats. They seem like very nice neighbors, and they said that they've met a few other ones.
Well, that's about it for now. Still focused on the August 12th closing date! :-)
