Three business days after we put a contract on “the” house, the bank foreclosed.

We no longer have a contract on the house, but are returning to negotiations with the bank… A lot of people say this could be to our financial advantage. I’m hoping this is true. I’m expecting this to be true.

But I won’t know for sure until I know for sure.

Ya know?

This week, while we were down there attending a wedding and being introduced to our new church family, we also picked out paint colors – looked into furnishings – talked about fireplace mantles – and even dreamed of a mural in the dining room.

While feverishly checking the news about the home-buyers’ rebate being extended, scurrying to find out who the new listing agent is, and asking if the bank was going to put it back on the market.

5 weeks.

We have 5 weeks.
