Sold! To the Vicomte de Chagny, thank you Sir.

We sold our house on Tuesday. A nice single school teacher bought our house for about $291 thousand which was more than our asking price. Our asking price was in the $274 range. We had a few offers from people in the $300, but they were also asking for us to pay the closing costs on this house, which would've brought us to just below our asking price. The lady we sold the house to bought it without wanting us to pay anything extra since we were also putting on a new roof.

We also bought our house in Utah. It was quite nerve wracking. When we called up the other relator to place an offer, she said we should hurry because there was another offer coming in, too. Now, we had looked at this house before and it's a beautiful house, and it was big enough for us to all have our own bedroom, and we'd have one room left over for a guest room (and we are planning on having guests). As it turns out the other people wanting to make an offer didn't have all of their financial information ready for the relator yet, and she was giving them 24 hours to get it together. We had everything ready, made the offer, and we heard back the next day that we got the house.

We've set a tenative date for the relocation company to come and pack us up. So it looks like we will be packed up and leaving on March 17th, 2010. We won't be able to move into our new house untill the 31st, but that's okay. Dad's company will pay to store our items for up to 60 days, and then move them into our house for us.

So for now I am still here in California, and I need to get to Institute and tell my friends when I am leaving.
