So the home sale is going well I think. We had 3 people come through the first day and one actually made an offer. It was low and we countered and were told they were going to accept...and then nothing. We heard from they're realtor Monday who said they'd seen another house they were considering, but we're still leaning toward ours and again we haven't heard anything since. Am I the only one who thinks this is flaky? Whatever. I figure they're not going to pan out. We've had 3 more showings since then - one every day - so I feel good about our prospects especially given the time of year. So we'll just keep at it! Everything else is progressing I guess. Really we can't do much until the house is sold, but the company is taking care of our visas and passports and as of right now were scheduled to leave on the 26th or 27th of January? For now, I guess I should start to think about Christmas - haven't bought a single gift!!!
