Stress & Everything

If you remember from my last blog entry, I said that the only thing K & I were worried about with the sale of our house was that it would sell quickly. I mean, sure, all of the data indicated that it would sell in 60 to 90 days, but both K & I had a huge gut feeling that it would be much sooner than that. We were only into our first week of the house being on the market and still working on home improvement projects last week when we received our first offer. After about 24 hours of negotating, we have unoficially sold our beautiful home. That is to say, we are in the contract period where the potential buyers get the house inspected; do their financial paperwork; and simply have a little time to think about it to make sure that this is the house they want to buy. If all goes well, the house will be sold by the end of this month/beginning of next month and K & I will be headed to Seattle on August 15th. This has happened so quickly that K & I are both suffering from a little emotional whiplash. We both cried when the buyers accepted our final counteroffer. I mean, we are very ready to leave Texas - We're sick of the seemingly endless hot, hot summers and a lot of the stupid politics of this place, but K & I cannot deny that the renaissance of our relationship started here. We have made the most of our time here; made some really good friends; and bought an absolutely beautiful home. We love our house. Other than its location, there is absolutely nothing that we do not like about our house. So, to just sell something we love so much is extremely emotional for us.
To top things off, one of our aforementioned Texan friends; one of the most loving people I have ever met; passed away last Friday. Because I've been so busy at work and dealing with house issues, it didn't fully settle in until last night. I didn't get much sleep last night. My mind was running at 300 miles per second and I couldn't shut it off. I was thinking of my friend's passing; thinking of selling the house; thinking of the final steps that need to be accomplished before we close on the house; thinking of finding a job; thinking of how I'm going to find a place to live. I have very little time to deal with all of this and I don't think I have ever felt more stress.

I remember the feeling...hang in there Dr. D! I know you and K will work things out exactly the way they need to be worked out. It just may suck in the process.
Thinking of you!!!
