This morning didn't start off so great. Neither of us were really ready to get up this morning when Sean woke up. Then we had to decided how to spend the day, in a way that wasn't too expensive, and would keep Sean happy. We finally decided to go to a natural history museum in the morning, bring Sean back for a nap, then run a few errands in the afternoon and pack up for our flight out tomorrow. That was the plan, anyway. The museum was a little farther away than I expected, and by the time we got there, Sean wanted to get out of his car seat. He's been in there way too much lately. Unfortunately, after we drove all the way out to it, we found it was closed. Bummer. So we started driving back, trying to figure out what else to do. At this point it was almost 11:00am. We decided to see a movie, so we found the closest theater on the GPS and headed there. There wasn't really anything we wanted to see, and we found out that we'd have to buy Sean a ticket. It didn't seem worth it to pick a random movie just to have something to do. We just decided to go get lunch instead and call the morning a wash.
After lunch, though, we got a very good phone call. Our offer had only been sent to the bank this morning, but we got an answer by 12:30 today. We got the house! Woohoo! The day wasn't so bad after all. It turned out that the other offer was really close to ours. We both offered the asking price, but we didn't ask for closing costs, and the other people did. It's strange that the bank didn't ask for any counter offers, since they were so close, but I'm not complaining. That would've just made it more expensive for us, most likely.
This afternoon we ran a few errands, then went to see The Lightening Thief. It wasn't much like the book, but the movie was okay. The cool thing was that we were the only people in the entire theater. That was great, because Sean was able to run up and down the aisles without bothering anyone. He was really tired, but wouldn't sleep. Silly boy. He wanted to play the pick-me-up-then-immediately-put-me-down game. I hate that game. It's so tiring.
I'm glad the day is done now, though. I'm looking forward to seeing Bethany and Meagan tomorrow, and getting home soon after that.

Oops! Here is what the previous post said:
Yeah!! I'm glad you got the one you wanted. We made offers on four, and tried to on a fifth, but things have a way of working out for the best! We probably won't make it to help you move, but I'm hoping that we can get out there now that we can make it on a long weekend!
