Disappointment to Follow

And the house hunting continues.  Wah wah wah!

I saw “the house” again yesterday with the kids and my parents.  We spent almost an hour there looking around and checking things out.  The kids were really happy with all of the space and we talked last night about how it might take a little bit of time before we can update some of the cosmetic parts.  We were all on board and ready to move forward.

Until the text from my mom this morning:

 

“Call dad before you make an offer.  He is not real comfortable with what he saw. L”

 

$%!$%$*!*%&#^!!!!!

 

NO!

 

I really, really wanted this house to be the one.  Sure, it has some cosmetic flaws, but I love all the space it has. 

 

I don’t want to get into something that is in constant need of repair, but I really, really wanted this one to work out.

 

I haven’t called my dad yet.  I won’t be making an offer yet.  I’m not ruling this house out completely, though.

 

Two steps forward.  One step back.  Just trying to keep the faith today.

 

On a positive, almost miraculous, note.  I found Eva’s glasses!  They had been missing since before Christmas break.  I really thought I’d find them over break when we cleaned out the entire house.  But I didn’t.  I’ve cleaned the car twice since break and no glasses.  Yet, today, after many, many prayers to locate the glasses, there they were; laying between the rear passenger door and seat.  Praise the Lord!  Eva can see again and I can save the $200 that I was going to have to spend on a replacement pair.
