So far, so good - we're set to close on October 15 - keeping fingers and toes crossed. We've been looking for house rentals - what a horror show! I cannot believe how people live - homes that were filthy - bathrooms moldy, disgusting carpeting - the first day we went out to look, I was in tears when we came home. Our realtor has been great - went out today for the 3rd time and found a beauty - totally redone home - new kitchen, bathrooms, freshly painted - nice hardwood floors. Now we're waiting to see if the owner will lease to us with a contingency (we want an opt-out if our house doesn't close). This whole process has been incredibly stressful - at times have wondered if we'll end up homeless! Anyway, I guess we all get through this in the end.

Seriously, my cousin in SC had to go to 5 gas stations on Sunday before she found one that had any gas. It's almost $6 per gallon there.

Temporary situation that seems to have started to resolve itself- as of this afternoon, I saw gas at 2-3 times the number of stations I'd been seeing, and it only took me 2 minutes to get to a pump. I'm thinking everything should be back to normal within a week- in plenty of time for Wiley to make the move that she really wants to make...

Ouch. GA put some anti-gouging regs in place as soon as this happened- gas here is running right around $3.95/gallon, which is about the peak it was at during the run-ups of a few months ago.

Personally, I think God was trying to tell her she shouldn't move to GA. As soon as she stated NJ's where she's gonna stay...BOOM! She sells.
