So most everyone knows that Carlos and I have been looking at houses to buy. Things were going great, we had an offer on a house we really like in
Stansbury and things felt good. Well last week, we went and started looking at more houses, just in case, ya know a "back up house." We found a really cute one in
Tooele that was the same price as the one we had the offer on. So we put an offer on that one as well.
Sooo glad we decided to find a back up house, because one day later, we got a call from our agent saying that after 3 long months of waiting, the bank was countering for 34,000 more than we offered. How ridiculous! I absolutely hate that they dragged out the process for 3 months! We had already offered the max that we wanted to go, so we declined and pulled our offer. Well, seriously not even an hour later, I got a phone call from our land lord saying that he wasn't going to let us rent month to month until we found a house, that he already had a year contract lined up. Uh
WTF! so in the course of a few hours we found out that we were going to be homeless. AWESOME!
Well luckily I have the greatest parents ever and they are going to let us move back in with them until we find a house. It's going to be a little weird living under the same roof again with the parents and the sisters.... I really really REALLY have mixed feelings about the whole thing, but I am glad that we have a place to live and it will be kinda nice to not have to pay rent or a mortgage yet.
It's so crazy how life can change on a dime. I really expected to already have a house and enjoying it to its fullest. but i guess that's not where our path leads just yet. It's been frustrating, disheartening, depressing, infuriating, etc... but I know that what is meant to happen will happen. we just have to take it one day at a time!
