Yippee!

I just got back from a meeting with our realtor making a counter offer on the sale of our house! We are very excited to see this go through and simultaneously overwhelmed at the thought of what it's going to take to get us out of our house by June 9th when my job here isn't really done until July 15th. In any case, we are extremely grateful for this to be happenning. Along the same lines, it seems that Peggy has a potential buyer for her house as well (she should know this week) and the Daniels are waiting to hear about the financing for their home.

The next step for us will be for Jenn and Peggy to fly to Durango and pick out new homes. We could really use prayer for the orchestration of this home transition. At this point, it looks like Jenn and the kids will have to move in the middle of June and I will be staying here until the middle of July. This is not my ideal scenario, but we are willing to do what we have to in order to leave Salinas well and get ourselves to Durango.

I am filled with a sense of relief at passing this milestone in this process. I'm thinking that it will be important for us to stop and acknowledge this moment before we become inundated wtih the details of "the next step".
