St. Joseph

Well, we may have a buyer after all! The very first couple that looked at our house wanted to buy it. They put in a very low offer and asked for a crazy amount for closing costs. At the time, we were still unsure of what my husband's new salary would be so we held off on a counter offer. They hung on with us for a few weeks and just when we thought we would counter, our agent told us they went with another house. 

We've had a ton of interest in our house, just not enough for anyone to make an offer. We're starting to feel discouraged and that we may be stuck with this house longer than we want.

Tonight our agent sent me a text message saying that the first couple decided not to buy that other house and have sent us another offer. The offer price is slightly higher but they want even more in closing (are ya kidding?!). We lowered our price quite a bit and are hoping they will meet us there.

So please, please, please send good vibes our way! Do a dance, burn incense, pray to St. Joseph.... whatever you do, do it for us! I so hope and pray that we can reach a compromise with these folks. Obviously they really want our house, but as anxious as we are to sell, we're not going to give it away. 

I feel bad for my husband being down in Savannah all on is own. We were talking on the phone the other night and he said, "I can't believe I miss you this much already." About broke my heart. While I miss him too, I at least have the comfort of being in a familiar place, having our dog with me, and having friends and family around. I just can't wait to get down there and share this experience with him, instead of a thousand miles apart. 

I was taking our dog for a walk yesterday evening and it started to hit me how much I'm going to miss our town. Neighbors were outside talking, kids were playing in the streets, people were jogging and walking just like me. It suddenly hit me that this is home. I didn't really realize how much I love this place until that moment. It will be hard to leave and I don't think we'll ever find another neighborhood like this one.
