Today is the day we have been waiting for. We are no longer homeowners in Cincinnati! That is to say, we have officially sold our house! That is to say, we are no longer paying two mortgages! Saints be praised!
At first, I thought, "Oh (sniff sniff), won't it be sad to leave our home in Clifton?" But after days, weeks and finally months of cautious optimism, just waiting for the deal to go through, I've traded in the weepy sentimentalism for a healthy dose of pragmatism.
Now I must give propers to:
- My Uncle Mike, who handled the testy buyers with his typical aplomb. Does anything ever rattle this guy?
- Our tenants, Lauren & Jody and Dyani & Jeremy, who win the prize for "World's Best Tenants." In fact, I'm pretty sure that our former living space looked about 200% better after we moved out and J&L moved in. Oh, and props to their little dog Sedgewick just for being so cute.
- Our "property managers," S+J, who resigned from their position a while ago but still deserve recognition for being good friends.
It is good to have the house monkey off our backs.

Hi Jen,
Congrats on selling the Clifton place! Hope you're loving the Northwest, even though we miss you back here. Dan and I will be in Portland a week from tomorrow for Hood to Coast. I think we will find the Northwest really nice and attractive. If you & Steve are up to it, take a road trip to Seaside for Saturday/Sunday! I would find it suitable to see you both!
GM
