We actually had an offer accepted nearly two months ago. Since then we’ve had an inspection, applied for a mortgage, arranged insurance, and… I think that’s it. We close on June 2nd, but we probably won’t move in until later in June, after the wedding.

We had a great trip to Turkey! For a while, we were a little worried about the clouds, but the skies stayed clear for the whole time and it was amazing.
It’s surprising, despite this being my fourth total eclipse, I still got very excited in the last few minutes before totality. And the actual totality was great. My photos are on another computer now, will post shortly.
I’ve been setting my alarm to make sure I get up early, hoping that eventually I’ll be too tired to stay up as late as I have been, but so far I’m still tired, but going to bed no earlier. Friday night I actually went to bed a little after one, then thought of something, got up, and stayed online until past 2am.
