Unfolding As It Should

The past weekend was a good and productive one. We signed a contract last Thursday night and it has been submitted to Bank of America for acceptance of the short-sale we are seeking. The Bekins agent gave us an estimate on Friday which we accepted. We are now scheduled to leave Las Vegas on September 10. Rachel and Steve were with us Saturday night through this morning as they travel on to San Diego. We’re happy that we’ll get to see them again on their way back to Fort Collins. We’re smart enough (I think) to understand that any of these tentative developments could fall through, but part of being optimistic is believing that things will proceed as they should. Mary is doing a tremendous job of getting us packed into boxes, etc, and I try to do what I can on the weekends. This coming Friday we’re going to make application for our retirement benefits. As I’ve already said, I’ve never retired before and that’s what makes this such an adventure. The primary goal is to move into our Fort Collins home on September 15, and right now it’s looking like we will succeed.
