Things are looking up!
Ahhh... a pretty good day is winding down now :) On the VERY LONG list of things to do before we move - we accomplished a big one today: we sold one of our cars - so now we have some money to put aside to take another trip to Austin. We felt good about that - I am always interested in the selling of the cars - who shows up to look at them, the kinds of questions they ask and ultimately who ends up buying them. Today, the car went to a girl in her 20's and it seemed like a really good fit for her. Her car had broken down and she was sharing cars with her relatives just to get back and forth to work. We have loved the little 92' BMW - but it was time for it to leave us - so I think it went to a good home.
On another good note, I have a job interview by phone for a research position at the University of Texas! I am keeping my fingers crossed - it is just part-time, but it would give us some income, and the opportunity to work at UT while Kevin is getting started in school. Good vibes about it so far :)

My only experience with selling a car was very bad. I sold it cheap to someone I knew who was poor, but it kept breaking down after she took possession and it made her poorer. I felt so guilty about that.
Nancy - Over the years we have bought and sold lots of used cars - it does help that Kevin is a mechanic though :) I always end up missing the car a bit after it first leaves us...:) Kind of like missing a favorite toy!
