I love the south to, but I am a damn yankee.

You will get your house!! That is so cool how your husband proposed to you too!! And I have to agree with you on Dennis Quaid. He is hottttt!!! When I was younger, I used to watch Innerspace all the time just to see him.

Everything will go fantastic with the house. I knocked on wood. Really. It works.
