We never imagined, when we bought the place, that this day would come and we would actually sell our house, but after we left Austin to appease our wanderlust, it became all but inevitable. The sensation is something like reading a compelling book, one so enjoyable that putting it down is not an option, even though you know you are hurtling from the front cover to the back cover, and when you reach it, it will be over. Personally, I find this both exhilarating and saddening because, while the house has been something of a friend to us (we occupied it for four years before renting it out), the end of this particular book is in sight, inevitable and unavoidable.
