Over the weekend, Andrew and I decided to lower the price on our house a little bit more. We really just want to sell fast so Andrew can go to school full-time next semester (which is quickly approaching). So we had our agent call the people back that had come to see it, and within an hour the couple that had come most recently was at our house. After a LONG weekend, they made an offer today. They really came in pretty low, so we made a counter offer this afternoon. We won't go any lower. We'll just wait it out until next year. So, we'll see! I guess they are really in a hurry to move in because their apartment contract is up Dec. 1st. I guess they haven't even pre-qualified yet for a loan--which is kind of weird. So, we hope they accept our offer and qualify for a loan!
It's pretty exciting. It's not as much as we had hoped (in the beginning) to get, but it's still enough that we can pay off our debts (phew!), Andrew can finish school, and I can stay at home (wherever that may be now--we'll need to find a place in a hurry!) with Kate. :) I know a kid at work that just got a job as a proof reader for BYU Independent Studies. It's a part time job that he can do from home. Sounds perfect for me! If we move soon, I will probably apply. That would be nice to have a little more income.

Yay! I hope it happens! The proof reader sounds like a great job!
Hopefully it will go through!
a co-worker of mine has a brother who is working in Korea as an English teacher. Many students at the college need to write up technical papers in English but have poor skills, (his skills in Korean are pretty rusty). He said that because he's familiar with the Korean grammar, when the students make mistakes, he can usually figure out what they mean better than a non-Korean speaking person.
With your skills in Chinese, it may be a good idea to find a way to target your services at Chinese universities. You could use a free PayPal account (which would allow for bank and CC payments) and just have them email you their drafts.
He charges them by how much effort he puts into the revisions, but typically gets $100 per paper and does one a day in about an hour.
Wow! That's great! You guys should move over into our ward!
