House Update

     I made an update about a month ago, but I never posted it bceause I had a weird feeling about it. Well, my feeling was right. About a week after I started to update everyone we got the news that the people we were buying the house from decided to try and take one more step to save their home. Understandable, yet so disappointing.
     So, we were back on the market. The good news was that we had gotten an offer on our house a few days after our first open house and a backup offer after our second open house. The people are very willing to wait for us to find something which has been a blessing.
     While I was in Yosemite with the kids (Doug had to work), a house that we had been eyeing for awhile but wasn't available became available again. Without me seeing it yet, Doug put an offer in and it was accepted. So, now we are waiting to hear from the bank. Unfortunately, it is another short sale, but the good thing is that the bank has already approved the amount we offered, so hopefully it will go through quicker. Fingers crossed!
