It's true, we are moving from the Big Island to the big state of Texas. Probably in about a week!
Mark and I have both been involved in selling several houses in our lives and neither of us have experienced a buyer wanting to close so quickly. Here's what happened. We listed our house, 5 days later we have a cash contract to sell the house "as is". So the time from listing to the time of closing is only going to be about 3 weeks! We are right in the thick of it right now; trying to pack, sell, give away or trash our stuff.... fun, fun.
Needless to say, we are very excited and a little sad at the same time to leave the beauty of Hawaii behind. But opportunity awaits! Mark is starting his own art studio and school in downtown Austin, and I am going to continue my nursing career, working as a travel nurse initially and then continuing my master's.
Please come visit us after we get settled!
