HUD called me early Friday morning to arrange a closing appointment with the title company (Monday the 15th) & to let me now how much the closing cost will be. It's going to be $2000 less than we had figured! About an hour later I got an email from our realtor for the house here and we have a renter! He will be signing a 6 month lease for the full amount we were asking! By late Friday afternoon we had the barge & flight to Seattle reserved & confirmed!! The barge will be a bit less than the quote because the trailer is not as long as first stated. THEN as if that just wasn't enough excitement for one day, Mark called late Friday night with the Seattle flight conformation. It turns out I had a bunch of Alaska airline miles saved up (Thank-you Wells Fargo!) and my ticket is only going to be $17.00!!!! Mark's ticket of course was a little more, he got a round trip because he will have to return for work. I budged about $800.00. His ticket is $500.00!
Now that the biggest, most expensive & stressful part is over I feel a great draining of anxiety. There is still a ton of stuff to be done but we are finely over the hump! The rest is down hill as we concentrate on the move. We will miss Alaska, it has been a great adventure that we will cherish forever! But for many reasons Washington is calling us back. I'm actually kind of glad we will be coming in at night, there is nothing like the Seattle night lights to welcome you home!
