so..... a lot has happened in 24 hours. As of yesterday afternoon everything was going forward, we were going to be home owners. But late last night, after phone calls to parents for advice, many tears and discussions, we have decided to back out. Shocking? Tell me about it. But, after sleeping on it, its probably for the best. We can continue to save our money and hopefully put enough away for a good down payment, and when we are ready we can try again.
Buying a house is stressful, and honestly, I probably wasn't mentally ready for it. I wasn't ready for another disappointment, I wasn't ready for the fall out, and I wasn't ready for the day I had yesterday. Not only did we lose the house that we were both looking forward to, but I was swamped with work. My boss has been on vacation for the past two weeks and so my work load was extremely light. Yesterday I was completely bombarded with work... I was even pulled out of the shower to complete something... oh, I work at home for those of you who are wondering why I was in the shower at work... and I had asked if it was okay if I stepped away for a few minutes and take a shower. But after my hectic work day I rushed off to a girls night out with my new friend Sally Ann. Sally Ann is a 'southern girl' and soooo sweet. She is a Mary Kay rep., and although I had done the Mary Kay thing before, I desperately wanted some time out of the house, so I agreed to a makeover and some free chocolate.
That part of my day/night was wonderful. It truly was my first time out of the house in a very long time. It was much needed. I think God knew I needed that little bit of time before the he opened the flood gates and washed it all away. So I am thankful for my time with my new friend Sally Ann, for the wonderful chocolate I got to eat last night (I am a chocoholic), for the free time outside of the house, and for the calm before the storm. I am also thankful for the lesson that we learned from this proccess. God is good, even if the outcome doesn't seem so good.
Thank you for your prayers... next time I'll wait until we actually buy the house before I say anything ;o)

Whoa, Sarah. Sounds like you had quite the night after getting home. David and I are both praying for your house-hunting situation and all the stress and decisions involved. Let me or David know if we can do anything else.
And no worries...we always have chocolate around if you need a pick-me-up. :) It was great to have you as a guest last night. I had a blast!
Sarah-
