Here Is Why It's Been A While

It has been a long while since we've posted. Here's why. You all know by now that Shaun has orders to report to Ft. Benning, Georgia. He is to be an instructor of some sort in a Basic Camp 2 kind of thing. It is an actual requirement that Shaun pass all physical requirements since he will have to be able to run and keep up the pace of twenty year old. So because of this we are frantically trying to get the house fixed, staged, and marketable. Let me tell you, we have never been so stressed!! We put our for sale sign up in front, and crossed our fingers. We were really hoping to not use a realtor since they take such a big chunk of our hard earned profit, but the house market is so bad right now we were starting to think we were going to have to. Ah, but wait! Our next door neighbor's Mom saw we were selling, and wanted to know how much, and if she could see the house. Our neighbor's Aunt is coming back from Guam to live in El Paso and needs a house. While the Mom was touring our home she had her sister on the phone and Shaun heard her say in Spanish how beautiful and fabulous our home was. So, long story short, the sister asked Shaun if he could kind of hold onto the house for us until she can get a loan at our High bid amount! We won't find out till end of this week, or later if she is approved. So say your prayers for us because we certainly need them.
