The house is sold! And I mean sold. I closed on it this morning and everything went smoothly. I had accepted an offer on the house within 9 days of putting it on the market and the buyer wanted a quick closing. I had it priced to move, and probably left some money on the table, but Elizabeth and I are thrilled to have this big piece to our transition behind us. We were both pretty worried about having to carry on with mortgage payments after school started.

As pleased as we are to have the deal done, we are also pretty saddened by parting ways with the house that we loved so much. We'll miss it.
