Bummer.

So, all the hoping, wishing, and praying has probably worked... I just don't see how at the moment. That's the good thing about faith. You don't necessarily have to understand why things haven't worked out the way you wanted them to... you just know that things will eventually get better.

I'm talking about the house we had a contingent contract on. We had someone who wanted to buy our condo but couldn't find the financing. They almost had enough but it just didn't work out. Monday, we found out that there was another offer on the house we wanted... so, since our one guy for the condo fell through we had to let the house go and sign that dreaded "Mutual Release of Property" form. It was pretty much my dream home. For the past 4 months we've been wanting to close on it. That's just the way the market is when you have a contingency contract though. We always knew this could happen. We just didn't think that it would.

Now, though we're having to start back at step 1 to sell our condo, we are a little more relaxed about it since we don't have a pending contract on a house. So, hopefully, if we can sell it, then we can start looking for the perfect house out there. It still makes me sad but I really believe it is ok and there is a better house out there for us.

Back to baking cookies and open houses. The cookies part isn't too bad, I have to admit.
