Nine Days and Under Contract!

As I am the first one out of bed I actually get to beat Joy to the punch!

The title says it all. We listed our house on May 20th and had an offer on the night of May 29th. We finalized the offer over the weekend and signed the papers last night. What a huge relief!

What does this mean? Well, for anyone who spoke to us early in May you likely heard us refer to the house as an "anvil hanging over our head". Originally we were planning on renting the house while we were in Guatemala. However, there was some doubt as to if we would be able to rent it for what we would need to cover the mortgage. Should we have been able to rent it we'd then be waiting for the anvil to drop...maybe the renters got laid off or perhaps they had to move out for other reasons. We'd be left holding the bag (so to speak). Bottom line is we're just not able to handle these sorts of contingencies.

So, with the house (potentially) sold that anvil will go away. This will also change our monthly support requirements -- more on that in another post.

As things progress we'll keep you updated. This is a major step for us. One (major) step closer to use being able to leave this summer!
