and i almost forgot! {a house update}

our agent called this morning to tell me that the appraiser - who had received our original order for an appraisal, but couldn't find any record for it, and therefore had not done it yet - apologized deeply for the delay, put us on rush-priority, didn't find any work he'd require to be done before closing (amazing!), and appraised our house higher than what we're paying for it (don't know how high yet, but any kind of "higher" is better!)

the only bad news, when he arrived, the exterior door to the garage had been kicked in, and someone (punk teens, we think) had gained access to the house. the heat had been cranked, and the house was about 70 degrees (impressive, since the wallboard heaters are among the least efficient of heat sources...) so, our agent rushed over to make the place look lived in. apparently a new door is at the top of our list.
