This week has been one of those weeks that by yesterday I needed a break. To catch you up on last week's news: we put an offer on a house. However, there were several other bids on the house and we didn't win.
There was a bit of disappointment, but mostly relief. We weren't looking for a new house and this one fell in our laps. It was a great price for a lot of space and potential. But, it needed a lot of work. Picture hunter green and mauve carpet, weird lighting and wallpaper, pink counter tops, a master shower straight out of a horror film and a giant water problem in the basement. But, the listing price was too good to pass up so we made an offer...
I was glad that we heard back when we did because we were both about to go nutty waiting. Patience isn't something we pride ourselves on. On the bright side, Alex's parent's closed on their new house and it's just down the road from us, so I would have hated to leave just as they were moving in.
