So here is the update on the house. I talked to our realtor and she said that the other buyer has extended their date of offer with the bank and what this means is that they have the only offer that the bank will review. We can put in a second offer and have it waiting for the bank in case they don't go forward and close on this one. Our realtor also said that we should keep looking for others in the meantime. She said that the banks are so slow and they may not make a decision for quite some time on this offer. The other realtor who she has to go through about this house (since she is not the realtor for this one) wouldn't give her much info on a timeline-just said that it’s a short sale and could be awhile. Boo… :-( So I guess our plan is to look at other houses while we wait. If we find a different one we love – great! If not – then maybe this one will be available after a while. I’m pretty bummed out. Can’t anything go our way? I know I can’t have everything I want but come on! NOTHING has been going my way for quite some time. Life has been tough and I could really use this positive thing to help things turn around.

P.S. I will try to blog about Florida later if I find time. I want to show you some pictures but I’ll have to do that from home.

I know, I know... It has been forever since I last blogged. You should really forgive me though because life has been crazy. And that is no overstatement.

Phil and I started our house hunt again. In the last week and a half we looked at 11 houses. After the 9th house I started to get frustrated. Phil and I were not agreeing on anything! When I loved a house, he hated it. When he loved a house, I hated it. So at the 9th house I told our realtor that we are never going to agree on anything so good luck on finding us a house. Then we were off to house #10. We both LOVED IT! It was the first house we looked at that we both liked! Since we both liked it I got really excited. Then the realtor told us that there is already an offer on the house. SERIOUSLY! But then she told us that the offer will most likely fall through. Phew! But we won't know until March 26th if we can put an offer in. I'm hoping that the other people's offer falls through and I hope we get it!!! The house is perfect for us. Let's see... it was built in 1992, 1,900 some square feet upstairs and another 1,900 unfinished square feet downstairs (in the walk-out basement), and 35 acres. We don't really need that many acres of course but a local farmer rents out about 30 acres.

Here is a picture!


So right now we are told to patiently wait and see................................. I will let you know what happens!

Other exciting news is that I am officially done with college!! Yay! I turned in the last of my finals last night! :-) I'm free! I don't know what to do with myself but I love it!

That's all I've got for you right now. It is time to go do laundry, clean and give the dogs a much needed bath. Phil and I leave for Florida on Monday so I'm sure I'll blog when I get back and tell you all about it.

P.S. I promise I will blog more often!
