Today was what I would call the perfect Friday.  James didn't have to work today, so we started off by sleeping in.  Then we went to catch a matinee showing of The Amazing Spiderman.  I enjoyed it. 

Around 4, we got a call from our realtor saying that the seller of the townhome agreed to come down on the price 10K to match the appraisal.  We had been a little worried that either we would have to pay that 10K in cash (which we didn't think was smart), or they would have to take it off the market because the appraisal came in less than what they actually paid for it.  But fortunately they agreed, so it looks like this house is really going to work out, and we're going to get it for cheaper than we originally offered!  I am super excited!

For dinner, I made marinated flank steak, rice, and corn on the cob.  It was pretty good, and it is one of James' favorite foods.  It will be better when I can grill it, but it wasn't too bad for a first try.

And lastly, we went to the free River Concert Series at the campus of St. Mary's College of Maryland.  They do it every Friday night in the summer, and it's about 10 minutes away from our apartment.  We brought folding chairs and camped out on the grass and listened to the Chesapeake Orchestra and a jazz singer.  The night ended with the 1812 Overture and some John Phillips Sousa with a big fireworks display. 

Except for the fact that it was about 100 degrees out today, it was perfect!
