Preoccupied. That is the word of the week in the Robertson household. In just two days, our house deal will fall apart, and we are all so sad. The home we have been dreaming about, picturing ourselves living every day in and our children playing in the backyard of, is about to fall through.
Our current house was inspected two days ago by the people who we thought would be it’s new owners. First time house buyers and perhaps slightly unusual people at best, a list of small things noted by the house inspector (such as missing light switch covers in the basement rough-in, a few mis-matched tiles in our bath tub, and a few other *very minor* problems ) scared them away and they backed out of the deal. We have until Friday evening before the deal on our new house falls through based on timing.
I have been praying this week more than I have ever prayed in my life. I have been asking God to help us feel at peace, and bring about the best possible outcome. I am trying to feel calm at a time of year in which I struggle during the best of times, and I am finding it so much harder while nothing seems to be going right.
While I do have faith that what is meant to be, will be, it still brings me so much sadness to think about what we stand to lose. Only time will tell I suppose. If we lose our house, surely there will be another, maybe even a better one, although right now, that is hard for me to believe. I know I will still sadly pass by “our house” for some time wondering why things turned out the way they did. Surely, there is a plan for us, even if we don’t know what that is just now.
So sorry to hear about this couple backing out over some very minor details. They’ll be in for a surprise as they keep looking for others cuz these houses are pretty good compared to others out there.
I too believe in “what’s meant to be will be” to a huge extent although believing this never takes away the sting of situations not working out that I think is best…..let’s keep praying that your house finds the right owner and that something works out for the house you are dreaming of.
Thinking of you guys.
Thanks for your support Kath. Even this morning, things somehow seem better in the light of day. We have the agent viewing this morning…let’s hope the right person sees it!!!
Oh Cath, I am so sorry to hea this. I know what it’s like to have your heart set on something only for it to fall apart. We had a nightmare buying our house, it took nearly 5 months and we are still argueing with our lawyers over paper work that we havent received. It is all so frustrating and it takes a lot out of you. They say it can be one of the most stressfull things in life. It will work out, one way or the other. We had a deal fall through as well but you just need to keep on trucking!!!!
Miss you, all the best to you all
Kath

That was weird…we posted at the same time!! I’m at work and bored, I’m going to look on the net for houses in Guelph!
MLS all the way baby! 😀 House searches with kids are awful! Poor Liam is so confused. I just want it to be over, especially for the kids.
Thanks Kath for your support…this must be the morning of the C(K)atherines(ryns)!!!
O.K. Back to work you!!!
That blows! I hope it all works out Catherine…. and you know, it’ll work out the way it’s supposed to. I believe in that too… though sometimes it’s hard. Still planning to come see you, if you want me to, the first week of March. We’ll make a day of it!
Love you
