I suffer from house bipolar

So grateful for the Spirit. We were literally moments away from signing paperwork on the auction house when Ryan and I just knew we weren't supposed to buy it. We thought the whole deal was going to be perfect, because the bank was even going to buy our current house in the deal. But for whatever reason, it wasn't right. I have to admit . . .I shed a few tears. Call me prideful, but I just loved that house. I had a Primary meeting with Bishop later last night, and after a good conversation with him, I felt rock-solid about our decision.

So that was yesterday. Today we went to look at a few more houses. What do you know . . .there's a foreclosure in a different neighborhood that is even more perfect. And the cheapest house we've looked at.

We are trying our hardest to buy this newest foreclosure, but all bids were due yesterday. Just our luck. We are trusting that if it's the right decision, it will work out. If not, I guess we will keep looking. Send happy thoughts our way!

Ali I just have to say you are worse than me on the house decision making and that is hard to do:) We pretty much have done the same thing with making an offer, getting in a bidding war and loosing. Making an offer, then withdrawling our offer after waiting over a month. Then deciding to wait until we sell ours, then deciding we might make an offer on another one we just found. I have yet to buy one on courthouse steps yet, but maybe I will suprise Erick and see how this works out for me! I just find in humorous because I kinda feel like I can relate, lol! Hope everything works out for you!
