Home Sale, Take Two

Last week someone else finally made an offer on our house, but for much less than Barry and I think it's worth.  After a week of counteroffers we have finally reached an agreement.  Now if only:

• The house passes the inspection;
• The buyers get their loan;
• The bank appraises the house for the selling price; and
• The Lord is willing and the creek don't rise,

...we can start packing the rest of our belongings.

The house I had previously tried to buy has been taken off the market, but I asked my realtor to check on the status; if it's definitely no longer available, we'll be back on the hunt for a new home on Monday.

If everything works out right, Rusty and I could be moving around August 1 - not the ideal time to move in Arizona, but better than moving in winter up in snow country.  I can hardly wait to be back in a place of my own.  Oops, pardon me, Rusty - a place of OUR own.
