Finally!!!

Today, after 14 months, we finally signed the papers to sell our house in Las Vegas. We have had multiple buyers and gone through the process of trying to get the bank to agree three different times. We have had lawyers ($$) helping us since I think it was February after the first sell did not go through. They were not too helpful at first but Peter is really good at bugging people until they do what they are supposed to do because we paid them to do it. Congratulations, to the lady who bought our house. She is paying $60,000 less than it was originally built for (which was obviously less than what we paid for it).

After signing the papers, we headed to the back to make the wire transfer of the money we had to pay for the sell. The man looked at us funny when we said we were selling our house and needed to transfer the money. He had to clarify that we had said selling and not buying. We made a deposit of cash and the teller asked if we got it at a bank- that is usually where money nicely wrapped in papers with stamped amounts come from. Peter had to verify his employment which is funny because most of the money paid came from what I made over the last year. Anyhow, all in all I could have bought our van again-in full. The joys of a bad economy. My heart aches for all those out there who are facing what we have been through or in the middle of it. I pray people will be able to find jobs and save their homes.

We are so grateful to have the home we do now and good jobs. We are grateful to be moving forward and we hope that this will never be something we have to face again!
