Where has the time gone?

So July has sped by, and the only thing I can remember about it is this: Emails. Paperwork. Addendums. And lots of money.

We put an offer on a house the first week of July, and have been stuck in a whirlwind of offers, counteroffers, inspections, and money transfers to accommodate everything.

It finally culminated this past Tuesday with us cancelling the contract and walking away from the house we loved so much, because the people selling the house were not super (or at all, really) coooperative.

Bah.

We went out for a pricey crab leg dinner and Cinnabon dessert to try to drown our sorrows. Here's hoping the next one goes a little more smoothly. And that we have a place for little Max to sleep when he arrives in a couple of months!

PS: The house was in Utah. Did I say that? Andy and I are planning on moving to Utah. Today, anyway...if things keep NOT working out, maybe we'll end up somewhere else ... location TBD.

So sorry it didn't work out! House hunting is such a difficult process. But hopefully you'll find something even better that you love a lot more! And it would be so fun to have you back in Utah!

UTAH??? Really? I'll bet your folks are so excited! Good for you guys! I'm so sorry about the house woes. I hate realty. Every aspect. It took about ten million years to get into our current house. And Ben had to put on a brand-new roof in like 24 hours for it to go through. It was super-awesome. Not. And I love that you're naming your little man, Max!
