Okay, Okay, Okay...

I'll post. But just a short one. It's already after 1:00am and I am DRIVING TO ALABAMA TOMORROW!!! Wa-Hoo!!!! I am sooooooooooooooo excited!

We have had a grand and glorious week since I last posted. Alas, I haven't the time to write about it tonight so you'll just have to wait. Ha! The only reason I'm blogging at all is because I am WIRED and thought that if I sat still for a few minutes I might get sleepy enough to go to bed.

I will have to tell you all about our week when I get a chance. Perhaps I'll get to some of it tomorrow if our motel room has Internet access. Most do nowadays so we should be good. As for an update on our lives...

We have a moving truck sitting outside our back door, fully packed with only a few square feet of space remaining--where I will put a guitar and one last box just before we pull out tomorrow. I LOVE it when everything fits just so into a truck and fills up most all of the little holes. It's like a giant jigsaw puzzle, but so much more exciting when the right piece slides into place. :-)

We've been on the phone off and on with Jason all evening. The young couple who stopped by here for the third time (!) yesterday made an offer on our house tonight. We countered their offer, they countered our counter offer, James said no dice, they are now looking into seeing if they can swing our counter-counter offer. They will have to talk to the lender dude in the morning (that's today, actually) just to make sure they can do this. I'm pretty sure they can. We're very, very close to coming to an agreement on the price (so close it would be sort of crazy if it didn't work out) and we're praying that it will all fall into place. James feels really good about what we've offered them, though it's more of a compromise than he would like to have made. If they just can't do it... well, then we'll have some real serious praying to do. We soooooo want to sell this house. It's just a matter of how much we can come down on it. That's up to God and James to work out. The best scenario would be if the folks get good news from their lender in the morning and decide that they can take the deal just like we offered it to them. It really is a good deal and they'd be getting a great house along with everything they wanted including the appliances. Well, not everything they wanted. They told Jason when they made their original offer that there would be one contingency: we have to leave the dog. Ha! They fell in love with Charlie yesterday. But then, who wouldn't??? Other than somebody mean and cruel and heartless. Like Dustin Hays. ;-)

Tomorrow we'll load the van, then do a real good cleaning of the house before we leave. We'll hear from Jason sometime in the morning about where things stand with the house. If we have all come to an agreement we're pleased with, we'll head into town to sign the contract before we hit the road for Alabama. We would greatly appreciate all of the prayers we can get for God's will to be done! We know better than to count our weasles before they've popped, but it really "feels" like these are the right people and this is the right time. Of course, we all know how much feelings matter. "The heart is deceitful above all things..." But that doesn't mean it's always wrong, does it?!

Okay, that did it. I'm feeling tired, at long last. I've been running on adrenaline for the past couple of hours and I'm hoping the crash is mere moments away. Keep us in your prayers--I'll try to put an update on here tomorrow night. Oh, wait... that would be tonight. Soon!
