Today is the day Lorena and I start the big push to make our move to Texas. There are a lot of moving parts to this and we are cognizant of the fact that all we have is an offer. The buyer had a lender pre-approval letter, but we still have to go through the house inspection and the appraisal to have confidence the sale will actually close. The inspection is on Tuesday.

The main thing we will do to get ready is pack everything but the minimal things we need to live for the next few weeks. On my short list of other stuff I can do now is the following:

  1. Figure out how to get help to load the truck. We need professional movers to assure everything fits and rides nicely.
  2. Find a place to rent a truck.
  3. Find a short term rental in Texas so we can spend just a few months there to get the house started and get some doctoring done.
  4. Make a list of things to cancel when we leave.

Currently, the game plan is to stay in Texas only long enough to do some doctoring (annual health and semi-annual dental checkups and eye checkup), then move to our apartment in Mexico. We were planning to take our car there, but have decided to just buy something cheap and economical when we get there that we can use for the business in Mexico after we move into the house in Texas.

Of course, all of this, God willing.
