I suppose it's not that dramatic but it is pretty disappointing. While we were at Bible Conference our lovely realtor/friend called to say we'd had an offer on our house. We counter-offered and spent the next few days going over paperwork and details but by the end of the week, we had nailed everything down. Now all that was left to be done was the home inspection and the financing for them.
Since then we've been looking online at houses, writing down MLS numbers, dreaming, imagining what a new house would mean. I spent my nights drifting off to sleep by saying goodbye in my mind to my old house. I'd go through each room and remember what happened in them. I've never had a home that has been as good to me as this one.
Two days ago I got a call from Sunshine. "It looks like they're pulling out," she says. What? Why? They blamed it on the home inspection but there wasn't anything in the home inspection that was major.
I feel like someone has taken a huge crap in the middle of the bathroom floor instead of in the toilet where it's supposed to go. I'm upset that they snubbed my lovely little home. I'm pissed that they didn't see her potential. I'm floored that they could just walk away from her. It's hard not to take it personally.
On top of all that - it's all brand spanking new. If only people could see what that house looked like when we moved in and what we lived through to make it what it is today. I know that the first person to look would be astonished. Astonished I tell you!
Se la vie.
Hey, you wanna buy a house?
