SOLD -- HOT DAMN!!!!

Some of you may know that we have been working on selling our house in Spokane. We weren't able to sell before we went to seminary because the amount of the sale wouldn't cover both mortgages. So while we were in seminary, it became a rental.

This worked out very well, actually. All through seminary the rent check paid the first mortgage.

After seminary -- not so much.

We had problems with the renters, got behind on the payments once or twice, managed to be bailed out of financial ruin by a lovely friend, only to go through that again. Oy.

So we decided to sell the thing. It turns out that in the past four years property values have increased dramatically and we were able to cover both mortgages and net a little profit. Not skads, mind you, but enough be happy and make a dent in our credit card bills.

There was an offer on the house one day after listing, and everything fell into place.

And now we are finished with it. Thank you Jesus.

I will sleep well tonight.
