Let the adventure begin

We met with a Realtor today to discuss selling our house. Her comparative market analysis was pleasant. We have a target number in mind and there is a considerable gap between that and her numbers, in a good way.

Now we have to get cracking on decluttering and the fixups. Eek!

Update: My savings will only last so long paying the mortgage, and we don't want to get into default and foreclosure, so we are taking preemptive action. We don't have a specific place to go yet (and Iowa has not yet materialized anything), but MJ has been eager to get out of the DC area for a while now, so we are moving ahead.

One fallback position is moving to Surf City, NC, where there is a house at the beach we can use. That could buy a fair chunk of time.

Is this just a "we want to live somewhere else" thing, or is there a direction in mind?

Does this mean that you're taking the job in Iowa?

Aargh, I've been out of the loop with you folks for a while now -- I thought you had gotten back to work by now. Eep!

I remember helping you move into that house from Arlington.

Wow.

Gosh. I haven't seen any announcements posted by my employer at all, but when I do I'll forward them along.
