it looks like we're going to get the farm — it's not 100% certain until we get their signed agreement, but we agreed to their final price (not as low as we'd like, but still fair, i think) and it feels like that part is over. 

:) and o.O all at the same time. 

mister got his raise and while it's not what his boss said he would try for, it's nothing to sneeze at, either. just keep swimming, right? lol (note: i remain positive that by his one year anniversary, he'll be where he's supposed to be. if he would have listened to me 5 years ago about getting certified in STUFF, things would be different, but shoulda, woulda, coulda. i mean if i had listened to him about bitcoin 18 years ago.....)

anyway.

closing (called something else out there) is set for 8/17. the number of moving parts is crazy and we're going to have to pull out money from super secret stash to cover things until this house sells — including making two house payments for awhile if we have to. 

please, lort, do not let us have to. lol
