So the house we made the offer on? Its a short sale- they’ve sent our offer onto the bank. The bank can approve it or not and when (and if) they do the house is ours. We are on the hook for 90 days- because it can take a long time for the bank to approve it- but if they haven’t approved it in 90 days then we are free to make offers on other houses.
I hate games, and I hate waiting games in particular but we have nothing to loose… So there you go.
We are buying a house.
Once upon a time, when I was leaving and so sad and unsure, and didn’t know where Emma and I were going to live or where we were headed, I’d pick her up and dance to “Better Life” by Keith Urban. Because I only knew things were going to get better and where I was taking her was surely better than where we were or where we’d come from.
Well, I’ve decided that when we get the keys to our new house, whichever house it is, I’m getting Emma and taking her there and dancing in the living room to “our song”. Claiming this new life as ours!
