Adios Atlanta

Y'all. We're officially moving!!! Yippee! It took exactly 5 days from the time our house was listed until we were officially "under contract." Wowzer. To say this is about to be an overwhelming, chaotic, amazing, bittersweet, whirlwind time is an understatement. Now, everyone please say some prayers, cross fingers and toes, throw some salt over your shoulder, and wish on a four leaf clover that (1) everything goes as planned with the sale of our house, and (2) we find some place to live, preferably our dream home (no pressure right?), when we visit our soon-to-be new destination this weekend. 

That's right. We have one weekend to find a home that hopefully has all of the following:
  • Southern-style architecture (think rocking-chair-worthy front porch)
  • A large, flat yard--did I mention our little buddy loves sports more than anything? A great yard is a MUST
  • A very family friendly neighborhood. One with lots of families with young kids who are big advocates of sidewalk strollin', bug catchin', hide-and-seek playin', outdoor campin', and bike ridin'
  • An open floor plan with at least four bedrooms and a playroom
  • Most importantly, access to the best of the best public schools 
Oh, and did I mention we are going to have to be out of our current house by Labor Day, since the closing is scheduled for that weekend? Yee-ikes. 

Anyone have any boxes?
