Well That Certainly Was Fast.

House has been sold. In fact, we got a conditional sale approx. 36 hours after it hit the market. All the conditions were cleared up this week, so that's one more thing on our list. What's truly awesome about the sale is that the buyer was totally OK with our closing date of August 28th, meaning we're on track for a September 1st departure date.

Right now we're waiting on a few answers back from NZ Immigration and finishing up our application. I'd hoped that it would get done sooner, but real life got in the way.

We've arranged to have essentially infinite free storage (thanks Jess!) for all our stuff, so that's another thing out of the way. It's looking like the month of August is going to be nuts. We need to get rid of the car, decide what's coming and what's going, move all our stuff, find new homes for our two cats and probably a 100 other things that are currently slipping my mind. I'm going to have to go update my wiki with all these steps and what's been taken care of....

It's starting to feel like a real project now, which means there's milestones, todo lists and a lot of well defined work. That's a complete change from only last month, when we hadn't yet put the house for sale and there were so many maybes and conditions to worry about. Now there's only 1. Are we going to be allowed into the country or not? Yeah, kind of a big one granted, but we're hopeful.
