We were so close. I had done what a friend told me not to do, "don't go and hang the curtains!" Referring of course to decorating the new house I had found before my real house was sold. And I did it...
But only because my Realtor told me to expect a contract on the house the first of January. And you can figure out by now that it fell through. I waited and waited...I've imagined all kinds of things in my waiting but when I finally found out yesterday it wasn't good news.
This man was going to buy our house for his parents to move in from up north to be close to him and his family. It would have been perfect...for them and us. He even got a paint color from me because he was going to paint the living room (no, he didn't like the chocolate brown either) the color of our bedroom. But then this week his dad called him and said they wouldn't move. I guess their family is dealing with bigger disappointment then we are this week.
"Back to square one...stay positive...the right family will come around..." that is what my Realtor left on my voice mail. Of course I was heartbroken when I heard the message but I didn't stay sad for too long yesterday. I realized the truth of my state right now. I have a warm, lovely house to live in. We have plenty of room right now and no hurry to move anywhere. I only hope that the house I have already bought counter tops and painted the cabinets for in my head will stay on the market until we can buy it.
As of right now I will just start cleaning my house once again and wait...

Aw, shucks. That stinks, but it must've been for the best. Keep your chin up! :-)
