There's no turning back now! We got an offer on our house when we were enroute to Happy, Texas for our annual church convention. The buyers requested to occupy the house two weeks from the date of the initial contract. Yikes!
Needless to say our heads began to spin. Our next big "project" was to price our stuff, advertise and prepare for a big Estate Sale for the following weekend. Thankfully, Wayne's cousin Bill Smith and Sharon offered to come up from Austin to help us. Also, my two former roommates, Audra (Saathoff) Coker and Elisa (Mille) Herd volunteered as well. It went well and our possessions flew out the door. Surprisingly, we didn't have too many sentimental moments that would cause us to want to chase after our things...
We closed on our house the next Friday, August 4th and vacuumed our way out the door Sunday, the 6th.
Since then, we've been homeless, yet happy to be able to visit relatives in Georgia, Florida, Missouri and Illinois.
We fly from Houston on Monday, Åugust 28th and spend 2 days in Boston before leaving for Milan on the 30th.
