We got the news in the wee hours on Tuesday - the Gig Harbor house has officially closed! We are relieved, and happy, and thankful for everyone who has helped us through this from 1/2 a world away (yes, Dads...we're talking to you!)
I'm not gonna lie though - I was a tiny bit sad to let go of our first home. When we bought it in 2014, we knew it wasn't our forever home (if such a thing exists for us) but we expected to be there a lot longer than 18 months. We were tempted to rent it so we could hold on to it, but in the end the financial risk was greater than the emotional reward.
But then I checked our bank account this morning. We had gone into the sale process aiming to break even, and tried to be conservatively skeptical every time we received a net sheet. Now that the beans are all counted, we did so much better.

Even Sven was pleased with how it all worked out:
We are no longer home owners.
WE. ARE. FREE.
*sigh*
