Well, nothing is "new"... just same old waiting, waiting. However, there is an end in sight to our waiting. July 27th is the last day for the bank to come through and approve our short sale, we are released from that contract after that date and can move on FINALLY! We love the house that we are in a contract with right now and will be very happy if that is the home God has for us, but we are also excited that if that falls through we have found another home that we both really love. It is perfect for our family, but before I get ahead of myself and go to all the trouble of explaining another house that we might not get, I'll stop. Either way we will be happy. What I think is really neat about house #2 is that first, we're dealing with a person... FINALLY! Second, we saw it the first day it hit the market and made an offer right away contingent on us getting out of our short sale contract (our realtors really don't have much faith in the bank getting back to us by their deadline of July 27th). The owner recieve two more full price offers the same day, but because our wonderful realtors went to the trouble of writing a cover letter about us and describing our family and situation, the seller decided he wanted us to have the house! He is willing to wait the two weeks to see if the bank comes through or not, and he is hoping it doesn't cuz he would really like for us to have his home.
These next to weeks are going to be tough waiting and waiting and waiting to hear or not to hear from the bank... my prayer is that I would wait well. I don't want to be anxious and up late worrying about it and so far Jake and I are doing ok, but we're not through this yet. I think it will be neat that if we do get house #2 we can look back at these past 2 months in our short sale and see that ultimately, that was God's way of protecting us and having us hold out for this awesome #2 house. And if we do hear back positively from the bank that they accepted our offer on house #1, we are happy that we're not waiting these next two weeks in a panic that there is nothing else out there that we like!
Mackenzie has been having the time of her life pool hopping with her mama and Aubrey has been the most content baby, sleeping at all the pools and being held by all the "little mommies" that want to hold her. Mackenzie fell asleep on the way home today and I laughed as I pulled her out of the back seat and tiptoed her inside. She was drenched from her bathing suit, covered in peanut butter from her lunch, and sticky from the lollipop she got from the bank... life for her is pretty sweet right now!
