Well, that didn't take long. We signed a contract to sell our house yesterday. Escrow opened today. Heck, the realtor didn't even have time to put up one of those silly signs in front of our house. We now have 45 days to figure out where the heck we're gonna call home. Sofas, spare bedrooms anyone??
In preparing to put the house on the market, Michelle and I each arrived at a price for the house. We approached the price from different flows of logic, and came up with the same number. When the buyers made their offer, it was the same number. It's a good thing. We're still really bummed about leaving this place, but we know that our home is with one another, and not simply located in a physical building.
It's a lot like church. So many people are hung up on the notion that the life of the church resides in a specific building at specific times of the week. But the community is something far more significant, and cannot be (or at least shouldn't be) contained in those parameters.
