Closing... finally!

The second appraisal came in well above the first, which is good for clearing the way for the loan to finish, but not so good for our taxes! Oh well! We're all set to close at 3:00 tomorrow, and my mom is supposed to be here to watch Bella while we're at the lawyer's office. Now, those of you who know my mom know that she is chronically late to EVERYTHING... AND she has to drive through Atlanta traffic to get here... so we're keeping our fingers crossed she makes it out here on time to take over Bella duty! Otherwise, we'll have to bring earplugs for everyone to wear during closing... I have a feeling Bella would get VERY bored sitting in a lawyer's office for an hour! After the heat advisory dies down tomorrow night, we're planning to move most of our stuff with the help of one of Stephen's bandmates in the U-Haul. Friday will be time for some mad and fast cleaning in the duplex, then we'll say good-bye to Hidden Creek Drive! We can't wait to get out of here! Hard to believe we will be sleeping in our very own house tomorrow night, Lord willin' and the creek don't rise (points go to whoever can recognize that phrase!).
