Those Old Georgia Pines

I wanted to share this awesome picture that my uncle took in our almost-backyard this past weekend when we had family in town from Alabama.  I wasn't able to show them the inside of the house, but we spent some time touring the outside!  The only thing missing in this picture is Wes.

It's the Final Countdown

Oh, if only we had G.O.B. here to commemorate this final countdown!  Although we don't, it is true that we are a wee five days away from closing.  This is not the same as being five days away from moving...but it's still pretty cool.

We did a walk-though this weekend and, while it went pretty well, there were still a few items that need to be addressed by the seller.  We are confident that these items will be addressed this week before Friday's closing.  If they aren't, we may have to wait just a little longer.  And this will be me.

(sidenote: Have you seen the Sad Cat Diaries?  I am obsessed)  I'm pretty sure we will close on Friday, though.  Literally the first thing that we have scheduled after we close is the installation of...wait for it...internet and cable!  Seriously, you guys don't even know how hard it is when our internet is so slow that only one of us can engage in an online activity at a time.  I cannot tell you how many times I have been forced to play Candy Crush on my phone using 4G instead of my iPad using wifi.  The screen is so much smaller!  What am I?  An ant?!

A Bicycle (Key Rack) Built for Two

I have officially bought the first item for the house.  Huzzah!  While feeding the monster this weekend, I came across a pin featuring this awesome key rack from Etsy:

It's totes adorbs!  See, bicycles built for two (bicycle built for twos? whatever.) are an unofficial "thing" for me and Wes.  Actually, it might be an official thing.  It started at the beach in Hilton Head in 2008:

We were babies!  Just kidding, we look the same.  I still have those pants.  We have continued our tradition in St. Simon's:

 In case you are keeping score, doing something twice still counts as a tradition.  And in our defense, we intended to do it in Gulf Shores last year, but couldn't find a rental place and also it was raining and we may have spent too much time at the bar.  It's still a tradition, though!

Our awesome rehearsal dinner actually had a bicycle-built-for-two theme.  It was pretty great, and we scored this personalized print!  This may be hung over the key rack, who knows?  The possibilities are endless!
