3rd Time Is the Charm

Right?!? Well, at least that is what we are hoping. 

The cash deal on our house fell through. Apparently the offer was from two brothers and the one with the majority of the money decided to back out. We signed termination papers yesterday. It was really frustrating to hear that they backed out. This would have been timed out perfectly.

However, the people that made an offer that same week of the cash offer were still interested. So we signed another contract. This one however is a conventional loan so we won't we able to close until mid to end of August. Patti, our realtor, will have to FedEx the paperwork to Ecuador. That also means yet another month of paying the mortgage, water, gas and electricity bills. However frustrating it is, we are still thankful to have it under contract.

It was also a sad morning today. I dropped off Soup at Katy's house.  She will stay there until we are ready for her to fly down in February. It was an emotional time saying goodbye, but we know her Aunt Katy will take great care of her...and send pictures to make her(Soup's) crazy momma feel better!

Soup is 5 years old  and we just pray that she is in good health to fly down (Great Danes only have an average life span of 7 years due to their size).

In other news...Summer Tour Part 4 has begun...

We are on a plane headed to Oregon today. That's where I'm (Tanya) originally from. I transplanted to Texas about 8 years ago. I haven't been back in about 3 years.

Oregon... Land of trees, rain and slow speed limits (as Jake would like to say). We are spending the week visiting some of my family and friends from high school.

Flying next to Mt. Hood

We will update with pictures of our week.

Keep praying... House, fundraising and our sanity!
