It's a done deal, the house is sold! And with that news, the packing begins in earnest (or, more correctly, in my house.) But first to go is the yard sale items.

M and I spent much of yesterday taking stuff out and pricing them. Most are hopefully going to go fast, with 25 cent price tags. This is the first batch of stuff that I discovered I didn't need when cleaning the house for the sale of it.

The timing of the house sale is impeccible, as only God could make it. We hope to move to a house that is for rent on October 1. The wedding is on October 9, and the closing on my house is October 15. Some high-flying energy will be needed to negotiate these two weeks!

Andy has been doing pretty well in school so far, and his demeanor around M is improving. He is excited about moving, as it is closer to his school and many of his friends. The house we want to move to is within walking distance of his school, too, and one of the first things we want to do with him before we move is to take the walk from the new house to the school so he will feel comfortable about the distance.

The wedding plans are now in push-button mode; all of the invitations have been returned, the flowers are now all set, and everybody knows what they are doing. Only the wedding rings will need to be picked up and the flowers delivered to the church and reception venue, which M and I will do the day before the wedding.

So, one more cup of coffee and I am away to the sale!
