Life

I am a big one to know that everything happens for a reason but sometimes it just sucks. We really liked the house that we had an accepted offer on. We were using the same realtor so he was giving us a deal on our realtor fees. He also wanted us to keep the other house so he wasn't showing it as much and was putting off other realtor's. I know he wanted us to buy it cause then he wouldn't have to split the fees with someone else but I didn't care we wanted that house. We had done our inspection and got the financing in place we were just waiting for ours to sell. We had till April 15th to have ours sold. Unfortunately our realtor went on holidays and the guy he had take over was showing the other house every day. He was taking just about anyone through but never showed ours. So that meant that someone else made an offer on the house for the same price that we offered but they didn't have subject to sale on it. That gave us 24 hours to remove our subjects if we wanted it. We couldn't do it so we lost it. Anyone that wants to see what we could have had the MLS number is F2927458. We really loved the house. Now we are looking for something else. I have a feeling ours is going to sell but the person is going to want us out quick. This won't be good if we don't find something else in the meantime. I am not going to rush to find a place and settle for something that isn't quite right. I am not used to moving. Growing up we never moved. I was in my original house all my life till I moved in with Tony. The realtor keeps saying that we will move in a few years but that isn't how we work. We want to find one place and stay. The other one was perfect for that. There just isn't anything out there right now that works for us. The realtor that is filling in called us and wanted to show us a few places. He was a bit pissed at us though. He thought we would be looking in the same price range but he was wrong. We were only in that range with a renter. We have now decided that we are not going to go that route. We want something under 450, must have at least a single garage, can't be a filled in carport though. We have to have at least 3 bedrooms and preferably 3 bedrooms and a den. It has to have at least 2 bathrooms. He said that we are being picky now. Well we are. We found a place we liked that had what we wanted and now it is gone so we have to start again. We are going to be picky and find what we want so that we don't have to move again. Ours hasn't sold and we haven't had people looking so we just wait and see what happens. I am mad that the other one is gone, I really liked that house. It was just the look we wanted, but it is gone so we are going to try again and we are going to be picky. We also aren't going to move on the price of our house. All the other ranchers in the area are asking at least 20,000 more and they are the same size with smaller lots. We asked less to try and sell faster but it didn't work. I think it hurt us cause the others are selling. One of the people looking at ours actually said to the realtor they think we are hiding something cause we are asking so low and trying to get rid of it fast. In actuality we wanted to sell fast to get another house we aren't hiding anything. Tony actually fixed the one spot that had mold instead of covering it up. (it is outside by the hot tub so not a danger to anything). I just keep telling myself that we will find something. I just wanted it before Laurens birthday and I went back to work. Now it won't be and Tony is going to have to go digging in the storage unit to try and find all my works stuff that is in a few different boxes that aren't labelled so it could be interesting.

On a side note I left Lauren with my parents yesterday while I went shopping. This was the first time she has been with someone other than myself or Tony. Well it went just fine. She didn't notice I was gone I don't think. She didn't want to drink her formula at all though but still ate some lunch and had a nap. This week I am going to go out for the whole day not just a few hours and she will have to take the formula. I am going to go take part in some paralympic games. I am going to see the mint and the northern house. I missed it for the Olympics and I am not going to miss this. She did just fine with my parents and it was great for me to get out. I even sat in a coffee shop and had some lunch and read my book. It was wonderful. Most mothers are sad the first time they leave the baby the first time, Not me it was time and I loved it. Of course I couldn't wait to give her a big hug once I got home but I still had a great time.
