riding the roller coaster DOWN
Buying and selling a home is such a roller coaster ride! After being at an all-time high yesterday and signing a contract to sell our home, today we are riding the roller coaster down as the contract failed this morning.
It is disappointing. Very disappointing. But I have been so grateful through this whole process that no matter what point in the ride we are at, I know things will work out and we will finish the ride safely. In this situation- I actually feel worse for the girl who was going to by my house.
I met her last night and she was so darling as she walked her extended family through the house, showing them all her favorite parts. (She and I both love the upstairs laundry!!) She had been approved to use her trust fund for a down payment on her first home, but when she took the trustees the contract this morning, one of them decided not to sign off on the deal. I don't know more than that, but that seems much more devastating to me than having to keep cleaning house my house so I can continue showing it.
So, that is the latest. Now, we are looking forward to the next hill UP!

What a crushing blow. I'm so sorry. I know everything will work out in the end, but with school starting and the hassle of selling I know how excited you are to move into a bigger house. I feel badly for that girl as well, she must have been too excited to sleep last night and then to be dealt this blow today. I'm sorry for you both!
What a bummer!
Just remember everything happens for a reason, not that that will make you feel better now though.
That sounds so terrible. I can't imagine finding a house I love then having someone else tell me I can't have it because they don't want me spending my money on it. I'm sure there's more to it than that, but still, it must be so tough for her. I'm sorry for you as well. I know how badly you want in a new house.
Holy Chamoly! You are posting A LOT!!! So exciting. I will check back daily (almost) woo hoo!
It was fun to catch up a bit at the blog party. I am always reminded how much I like you when I see you...
Anyway, I am all caught up. I saw the house sell and not sell at the same time. I'm sorry. It is so hard to sell a home. Much more fun to be the buyer. I never want to move again, MOSTLY because I never want to sell another house. Good luck. You have a great attitude about it. I hope you got your kids into Saratoga and all at the SAME time!
SO disappointing, Jenn! But I do love that you can feel worse for the buyer than for yourself -- that is a feat. Here's hoping another buyer comes along soon, preferably one that doesn't have to answer to any trustees...
wow.. that is a bummer.. you have a great attitude.. I am sure it will all work out like it is suppose to! take care.. keep on cleaning!:) your living room looks so nice!
