We thought we might list the house sooner, with an eye to departing in June, however it was difficult for Mike to finish all the details of getting the house in pristine condition while continuing to work.  Also, we decided it would be easier to keep the house in a tidy state for showing once I'd finished school.  Thus, the sign went in the yard on Sunday evening March 31st and was put on the MLS (multiple listing service) on Monday, June 1st (my last day of school).  Here Mike and I sign paper work and Mike and our good friend and realtor Scott Lewis make it official.
