So our house went under contract a couple weeks ago. Wes wouldn't let me tell anyone because he thought we would have to speak in church. I think I've convinced him otherwise, and I'm sorry if I outright lied to you.
The people who are buy our house seemed very eager to move in and on top of it with inspections and appraisals. They were looking to close early (like next week) instead of the original December 21. We were going to try to accomodate them. It's not a big deal to us. We planned on moving in with my parents for the holidays anyway until we could close on a house of our own. Now their FHA loan people say we have to replace the roof on the garage before they'll approve the loan. This was one of the things we were trying to avoid doing to our house by moving. Now it looks like we're going to have to do it anyway, and it will most likely surpass the $500 in the contract to be spent on FHA repairs. I think we should do it anyway. I'm feeling the need to get moving into a new house and get settled before this baby comes in a few months.
And for those people I could tell, and was all excited about this house we found. They are in bankrupcy and have it mortgaged past the value of the house, but the bank is making them keep it on the market. Retarded, they'll never sell it. We found another house I like yesterday, but I'm afraid it will go quickly at the price it's at. With having to repair our roof, oh, and paint our window wells, I don't know what's going to happen to our house. Or even if or when we'll be moving.
I had started packing boxes yesterday, and not sleeping because I was stressed about moving in such a short time when I'm working quite a bit over the next couple of weeks. Now I want to say, screw it all and go read a book.

Buying and selling houses is the worst. Let me know when I can come help you pack/move.
Blah! What a nightmare! What sucks is even when your ducks will be in a row to buy your house, the loan people will be so retarded and once again you will have another hiccup. I hope it all works out soon! Moving really really really stinks! I say stay!! :)
Just deduct the money for the roof and paint from the contract price and let the new owners take care of it.
Yay for your house being under contract! I thought there was something interesting about your phrasing the other day ;)...let me know what you need help with. We'd love to have Dylan over to play anytime while you pack. For real!
Well, we don't want to see you go, but I'm sorry for the muck you have to deal with! It's hard doing things in the Lord's time rather than our own, isn't it? That right place will come along and it'll all work out!!!
