Last night, we found a renter! Actually, we found two. Out of all the people that came and looked at our house, finally two people in one night wanted it. Hallelujah! So we will be finalizing and choosing a renter today, both wanting to move in by August 1st. This is great news because we will not have to pay the mortgage on the old house this month! We are really excited and breathing the proverbial sigh of relief.
We are in the final stages of figuring out the moving plan for the next week but I can rest my organized mind on the fact that by next Friday, we will be completely out of our old house and at least on a mattress in the new house. All of the things that need to happen in the next seven days are daunting but not impossible. Hopefully with the help of our friends this weekend and next week, we can accomplish the task of moving a whole house. We will be packing up all that we can this weekend into either borrowed trailers or a U-Haul so that come moving day, we are ready to just drive up and unload. We will know today a better estimate of when we will be closing and will make a plan for either completely vacating the house and staying at my parents cabin for a few nights or staying until the closing date. If the closing date is later, as in Wednesday or Thursday, we will probably move out and stay at mom and dad's so that we can get the Layton house cleaned and ready for tenants on Friday. If we close on Monday, than we can just move right into the new house with a few days to clean the Layton house. Either way, we have a plan and I like that!
Call to those that can help: We need some people to help us just fill up a truck. No unloading necessary yet. So if you have an hour or two to spare on Saturday, we could use some hands to just load a trailer. With some help, it shouldn't take long at all. We'll post another call to arms for unloading sometime next week.
I'm giving you a couple of pics of our vacation to Maine. Most are pics of my niece, who loves her Aunt Meg and Uncle Mike. Thanks for all of your harmonious thoughts to get us through the annoyance of moving!

This is beautiful Gabby, our niece!
This is one of my favorite things to do in Maine, go to Jordon Pond in Acadia NP, sit on the lawn and have Popovers (it's like a biscuit) with strawberry jam, yum!
