Sorry we haven’t posted in a while. We’ve had to make some decisions about the trip and here is where we currently stand. We still haven’t gotten an offer on the house. There is someone interested in buying the house as an investment property and we are waiting to see if they make an offer. If they don’t, and we don’t have another viable contract by July 31, we have decided to hold off on the trip for a year. It’s just getting too complicated. The timing of the market decline couldn’t have been worse for us.
After a small adjustment period, we are feeling OK about having to wait if that’s what happens. Make no mistake. We would much prefer to leave this year. But as so many have said to us, “If it’s meant to be, it will happen.” We completely believe that, we’ll just be disappointed if we have to change our plans. With a few adjustments, we can make next year work here.
So pray for us, that the right decision is made and that God’s will be done.

Hang in there, my friends. The world will be waiting for you when you’re able to make it happen.

Even if the Big Trip doesn’t happen this year, we hope to meet you over a weekend sometime for a little “practice session”!

We’ve been thinking about you guys – hope all is going well. The bright side to staying another year in your house, if you do, is that you get to enjoy all the work you’ve put in for a while longer! Whichever year you end up traveling, we’re looking forward to the tales (and pictures)!
Looking forward to seeing you in CT in September.

Do you have some kind of flyer for the house that you could send me electronically? A coworker of mine has a friend who buys investment properties and I could send him the flyer on the off chance that he might be interested.

I know how hard a change of plans can be. I’m sorry ya’ll have to be dealing with these difficulties. We will be praying. I won’t say anything to Meg yet, but she’ll be happy if Elise ends up being around. Talk with you soon.
