We've finally sold a parcel of land that Angelines inherited from her dad. Somehow, even with the market the way it is, we were able to get a good bit of money from it, so the next step is hiring a contractor and building our own pub. I am optimistic and think all this could happen by Christmas...though, knowing Spain, I'm sure there will be plenty of unforeseen roadblocks. All the same this is REALLY good news. We're moving in the right direction.
It's been a long time now that A has felt completely stuck (and I, too, by extension). She pays quite a lot of rent each month and, of course, since the locale isn't hers, she can't make the improvements she'd really like to. At the same time, without the money from the sale of this parcel, there was no way in the world we could even entertain the thought of building our own place. She's had the architectural plans for four years now and has been paying a mortgage on the land even longer. Needless to say all of this has been a very long time coming...
It's almost too good to be true!
Toast to our luck! :)
