Things are starting to get serious
Today, the papers were signed and executed, lots of lawyers got paid, and desperate bankers have a new client (us!) and we are now the owners of a new house in Georgia. I am in awe about how much God watched over us in all this, especially in how the timing for many of the steps just seemed to fall into place.
We still own the house here in CT until the end of December, so I guess that makes us real estate moguls? The movers will come after Christmas to fill up their truck with all our stuff. We're hoping they will be able to deliver it just after New Years and give us a couple of days in Chapel Hill with our friends there.
The hard part now is the good byes and "lasts." After the big Thanksgiving feast, we were surprised by Beth's "breakfast club" and the OPIM department at school had a wonderful dinner at one of the nice Italian places close to us. Alli's puppet team also had a dessert party for her, and she now has a beautiful prayer blanket.
My last "class" is my MBA final on Friday from 1-3:00. Then I'll grade it (and finish my undergrad class) and will be done with my professoring at UConn. Sniff. Then I start filling boxes with some books, and give others to students. Lots of paper recycling, and I hope to convert a bunch of papers to electronic files (that will be easy to move).
More later.
