Moving did suck. The lucky part was we were in the hottest area in Atlanta, with precious little inventory and a line of people trying to get in. We posted the house on MLS at 1pm on a Saturday afternoon and by 10pm we had two offers for well above our asking price. Sunday morning we asked for "highest and best" from both, and had an agreement by Sunday afternoon...with two MORE backup offers. It was nuts.

This new house is 1400sqft, so much smaller than the old place. We sold or gave away so much stuff, and some of it was really hard to do. Movers took the big stuff over, and then we rented a 12' box truck to handle the small stuff ourselves, and we STILL took more than 1300lbs to the dump. Again, nuts.

But I am really enjoying this little house. No steps mean it's easy on my knees. My wife can be in the kitchen and I can be in the bedroom, and we can carry on a normal conversation. And the yard is a 45 minute job, including trimming, edging, and watering. Not really much room to work on the car though, but I have plans for that too.

Meanwhile, still driving the Z every day. The last couple of weeks have been ridiculous here in Atlanta, more like August than June. But the a/c works well, fans are cycling just like they should, and it's just super-comfortable even in traffic. Can't ask for more than that.
