Whew. It's over. We didn't get the foreclosure house. We knew that we might get to the end of this journey and not get it. And we were always okay with that. We tried, and we showed the house lots, and truthfully I am kinda sad that we didnt' get it.
But all in all, it's totally fine. I am just so happy to stop sweating when people were wanting to see the house and spending hours to clean it so they can walk through it in under 10 minutes and decide it's too little for them, or too much, or whatever. Someday we are going to want to move or rebuild or whatever, and I honestly can say I do not look forward to the idea of trying to sell again. Kudos to those of you who have ever done it. Bleh.
I hate the idea of keeping it presentable all the time. WE LIVE HERE. Dirty dishes, toys, and laundry are part of my everyday life. I like it that way. Spotlessness is to much work for me. I would miss out on photographing my kids, playing with them, and spending an entire day dedicated to scanning old photos or figuring out how to change a font on someones' blog. I like that part of my life too much!

So here's to staying right where we are at!

But the good news is you have an adorable home and you don't have to pack and move and for now you wont have to be a clean machine all the time!

I am sorry that things didn't work out, but hopefully something better will for ya in the future.
