Well, Under Contract at least. So apparently my hard work and frantic house cleaning paid off. Or maybe it was my good looks and charm as I carried the dogs to the car. Either way, the couple who came by last night agreed to our counter-offer, and there is now officially a contract on our home! There were a few special requests, you know...leave behind the lawn mower, weed eater, etc...done! (What Kevin doesn't know won't hurt him) I'm kidding, he gave me permission to give those away before we left.
So, now the big prayer is that the house appraises for the sale price we've agreed to. Otherwise, the buyers have the option of purchase at the lower price...no good for me! But I know that God has always proven Himself faithful in the events of our lives. So I'm not too worried about the outcome.
My realtor advised me to keep quiet for two weeks, so I had to strategically lose a few facebook friends (co-workers) so that I can keep everyone else updated about the big news. Wouldn't want word getting around to my bosses and then have the deal fall through. But I'm totally excited, and obviously the couple really wants the house because they've been out three times, and came up to our offer a week after we walked away. I can't wait to get Kevin's address so I can tell him!
Now I have to go make my dish for our office potluck lunch tomorrow. One of my doctors is a vegetarian, so broccoli cheese casserole it is (modified, of course...no chicken this time). The dogs got lucky too, because some of the rice stayed a little crunchy, so they got to eat it for dinner. Mmm!
PS - Though you would enjoy a shot of just how much stuff made it underneath my bed yesterday. Keep in mind, this does not include a suitcase which was refilled and hidden in the guest bedroom, nor all the shoes and miscellaneous items shoved in closets and drawers...and that this pile is layers deep. I am a mess without Kevin here to keep me in line!

You definitely get an A+ for even THINKING to put stuff under your bed, and another A+ for getting so MUCH under there. I remember doing that as a little girl when I was told to clean my room, and I also remember getting in a lot of trouble for doing it. At least nobody is around to tell you what to do for a while. That has to be (somewhat) liberating.
Haha. That's how Ben cleans on a normal cleaning day. I have had many conversations with him about how just because we can't see it anymore doesn't mean it's where it's supposed to be. Way to take on the house in a pinch, though.
During all this transition in your life these days, if you want to travel to visit old friends, you are welcome in Richmond. Things are never quiet around here and we can help you pass the time quickly.
Wow, I never expected compliments on shoving clothes under my bed. I thought that was more of reverting back to living with my parents. Then again, I was thinking on my feet.
Sam, I don't know how much I will be able to travel later on, but Kevin will be stationed in Virginia Beach for the last three months of his training, so it is definitely a possibiliy...
