House Update

OK, somehow a miracle occurred and both of our bosses let us leave work at lunchtime. This was especially incredible because, after my work function on Thursday night, she let me arrive at work on Friday at 10:00. So, I was only there for 2 hours, and you can believe I didn't do a bit of work, after receiving the news about the bar exam! So, anyway, we're both done at noon. We discuss the house a little, talk about money, go get lunch, then go to the realtor's office. We make an offer. Afterwards we go to the lake house. Sitting on the back porch, envisioning how wonderful it would be to live there, we all of sudden see about 30 huge Canadian geese come floating around the corner on the lake. We both just sit there and watch them all, in perfect formation, float down the lake until they're out of sight. It was incredible. And I, of course, took it as a sign.

So at dinner last night (we tried out an oyster bar we'd never been to before. It was smoky and loud - that's not for me) we get a call from the realtor. The builder has counter-offered. We'd expected that, so we were ready with another counter. That was last night around 7:30 or so, and we haven't heard back since. So there's your update.
