Aaaaannnnndddd, we're back...

In the words of Michael Corleone, "just when I thought [we were] out... they pull [us] back in."

The house that we were interested in went back on the market today. After we missed out the first time, we said to ourselves that it was sad, but a great learning process - that we went through all of the emotions, weighed all the pros and cons, and readied ourselves for the next time we were faced with such a decision. But this was the reality that transpired today after learning that the house was an eligible candidate for our next mailing address:

B: "So the house is back on the market."
J: "I saw that - so what should we do?"
B: "I don't know, what are your thoughts...?"

Not exactly a confident start to this whole process, especially given the whole "learning experience" thing...

At any rate, we went back in, put in a new offer, and within hours, it was accepted. We are back in it and then some. Granted, we still have the appraisal and inspection to go through, so it is far from a done deal, but we got just what we asked for, and after the sinking feeling I had when we lost it the first time, I know this is something we both really want.

If things go smoothly, our place will be on the market in two weeks. Wow. Scary when I see it all typed out in front of me...scary exciting...but damn scary...

Oh, and also, I may be going into labor during our own open house, but that's no biggie, right?

Now we just wait and see if it truly is the little cape that could...
