It's not always black and white

But wouldn't it be nice if it was?

Clean, chic, and simply elegant. 

PS We found out yesterday that we lost the house that we completely loved. 

The bank (despite our offer) decided to go into foreclosure, so it's off the market for now. 

Total bummer.

I keep giving myself a pep talk, something, along the lines off, "Everything happens for a reason, it's probably a blessing is disguise, we'll find something better." and it's kind of working. 

Back to square one.

An offer and the waiting game

Hopefully I'm not jinxing us, or the offer we submitted on this house over the holiday weekend by posting this, but I'm just a little excited at the thought that it might, possibly, hopefully, be ours soon! 

The house is a pre-approved short sale, which means we've got a 3 to 4 week waiting period before we know if the bank accepts our offer. But the offer we made was essentially the asking price, and there are no other offers on it, so we're really hopeful it will be. 

For now I won't share any details on the house other than we feel really lucky to have found it. 

(I don't want to jinx us any more than I am by posting this. :))

So now we're kind of in limbo and playing the waiting game. 

(Insert Jeopardy theme song.)

We'll see....
