After 10 months on the market, we finally have a contract on our house in Houston. We are so thankful. Our dear neighbors and friends have been incredibly generous while the house has been for sale. They have mowed the lawn and cleaned the house to keep it looking great for showings. We are blessed to have such fantastic people in Houston. The man who is buying our house seems to be in a hurry and wants to sign final papers on April 20th. So the next 11 days are going to be crazy. The people who are buying the house live in Australia. We are in Costa Rica. And the house is in Houston. This is going to be a nightmare international transaction. I think we will have to go to the US embassy to sign papers in front of a US notary. We anticipate that being an all-day errand. Meanwhile, our house still has our furniture in it. So we have to sell all our furniture in the next 10 days. Each piece is listed on Facebook, Craig's List and another web site. We can't wait to stop paying the mortgage, water, trash, gas, house insurance, sewer and electricity bills, but this really brings things to an end in Houston. We realize that when the house and furniture are gone, everything we own will fit in suitcases. And this very well may be the last asset that we have. It makes things feel very final. We are thrilled to follow the exciting plan that God has put in front of us in Latin America, but we still love North America as well.
