Life is so frustrating. Our house has been jerked around for the past 2 months. Here is the story.
On April 1 2013 We put our beautiful 2000 square foot home on the market. We were sad but it was time to start building. At the same time we are very excited. So on Wednesday April 3, Just being on the market 3 days, we got a offer. It was perfect. Just what we wanted. We thought this is great we will be starting our dig in June, house done by Christmas and we are golden. Well then 5 days after that the buyers called back and said they wanted to lower the price by like 4,000. We said no that's not fair. and the sale was off. We put the sign back out and had a few more calls and a few more showing but nothing seemed to work out. In the mean time, I had gotten word from my job that they wanted to close the store at the end of may. Well that was great news sense we didn't have our house sold, and we needed my job for our construction loan. It was like everything was falling apart right before us, and there was nothing we could do. Then on a Sunday we both had a feeling to call the first buyer back and tell him we will take his offer for the less amount, We needed to sell the house before the end of May. So they took the offer. The house was under contract again. We were happy and it felt right. We both felt so good about this. Everything was moving along great, had the home inspection done, the appraisal was done we were about 1 week from signing the papers then we get that phone call, and sure enough they backed out again. Yep same people so that makes it twice. We are thinking what the heck, this is crap. We were very upset. I think I was more then Kevin. Kevin is very positive in this whole house selling situation, me not so much. So the house went back on the market. Lots of calls, people came to look. It was fine. We got a call from a friend who had a friend who wanted to rent, we thought about it and if we rented we would not start our build till next march. We would have to downsize for a year. Was it going to be worth it? Kevin and I both think it would. So we showed the girl and her husband the house, they fell in love with it. We thought ok well now we will look for apartments in Layton that way it's close to the school, ward and the lot we own. We went out and found one that would work, it was tiny but we can make it work. We needed bunk beds for the girls and then it would be fine. Well we had been set on that because we had a renter and they were going to pay for the whole house. Life was good. We were fine with everything and again it felt right. Kevin said everything was working out, we would just not build for 6 months, but it would be ok. Then on a beautiful Sunday morning I get up with the girls and let Kevin sleep in. I check my email and there it is, from the renter and it says they have decided to keep looking, their father in- law who was also going to live with them in the basement wants to keep looking. They are very sorry and hopes we find a renter soon.
So how can we feel so good about something, then a day later it's not what we get? I am frustrated. I feel like I guess I don't know the spirit like I thought. Why would we have the house sold 2 times to the same person and then find a renter and then they back out. Why? I don't have the answer. I don't know what to do. Life is hard. Life is a challenge.
So that's what we have been going though. Not fun. Very stressful. Something I don't want to do again.
Other then that stuff, we are good, I get to keep my job one more month. Kevin will be working less because of the fur loads that start in July. And the girls are good. Getting so big, Kanyon has a few weeks left of school, then it's summer time. We cant wait for that. We got one trip planned and that will start this Saturday. We didn't plan anything because we thought we would be building a house. Nope not yet. Maybe we will find something fun to do and keep us busy.
Any big plans this summer for you guys?
