What a Difference a Day, a Week, and a Year Make!

One year, one week, and one day is what it will have taken to get settled again after Fran lost his job.  I could never have predicted the length of time we would be waiting, but it turns out that 1-1-1 is our lucky combination.  Here's the breakdown...

June 7, 2011- Fran lost his job
July 20, 2011- Fran takes his DREAM job working at our local cycling shop
August 4, 2011- We list our house on the market
February 27, 2012- We sell our house!  Hooray! (Thanks to our wonderful real estate agent!)
April 17, 2012- Our offer is accepted on the third house we made an offer on.  (The third time is definitely the charm!)
April 21, 2012- Moving day into our rental/neighbor's house (thank you to our fabulous neighbor who needed a housesitter while out of town!)
June 15, 2012- We will move into our new, permanent house!

That's 1 year, 1 day, and 1 week summed up.  It was the busiest, most emotionally taxing year of our lives so far, but we have made it!  Fran LOVES his job, we get to spend so much more time together as a family, and we have a permanent roof over our heads coming soon.  Life is good!  Hope everyone's summer is off to as good of a start as ours is!
