Without House; With Child

I feel like this is my slogan. It's been a whole week since we have moved out of our fantastic Riverton home that we have loved for eight years. It was a tearful goodbye- and with our belongings stored at Marci's and Brinkley, our dog, at Tricia's; it's been a week. We have stayed at my mom's home until Thursday, and now we are crashed at Bonnie's in Logan for the weekend. I have been on a really emotional roller-coaster this week and it does NOT help that I am high on pregnancy hormones. I really have cried my eyes out this weekend. So, here's the dilemma- we are waiting on a dream home in Herriman that is a short sale- and we keep getting pushed back on the bank's timeline- and since April have been playing that game. We have two other offers on two more short sales in Herriman; and nothing doing. This Thursday, after the bank lost our file last month, and after they told us that it would go to a final closer this past Friday; we got the big whammy- our file was not being reviewed at all- they were looking at the wrong file. So, now it's been transferred to another bank guy who is going to take another three weeks. Nice. We have now looked at some homes in Wellsville- aka Logan- and in a sense it would be like coming home- we attended USU here and met here and we have family here. We found a fantastic home- no short sale here. The views are fantastic. I mean holy wow. The paint colors in the home could have all been picked by me. The yard is finished and finished fantastically. But it is so hard to think about the changes- even if it could be a great change for us. So, here we are- in the thick of it... and I have tried my best to smile, think positively, pray, you name it. Then I just had to scream on Thursday. So, what do you do? Ryan and I have had many conversations about how people make big life decisions like 1) having a baby, 2) remodeling their home or 3) moving. How about all three? That's me: without house, but with child....

Amanda,

I am soooooo sorry you have been having such a hard time. I know it doesn't help to have the added stress of people back in Riverton pulling you this direction. I hope you know that we will continue to be friends wherever you are! Even if you DO move to the boonies. ;) Please let me know how I can help you. You have been in our thoughts and prayers. LOVE YOU!

Thinking of you and your family! Sorry this is so rough right now. What a headache. You are in our thoughts and prayer, the right thing for you will happen...and by the way, it's ok to cry. ;)
We miss you.

Big, deep breaths! You know everything will work out it may just not be this week. Hang in there!

You're certainly in our thoughts. It's too bad Nate wasn't there tonight to chat with Ryan about this whole crummy thing. Nate's not sleeping well either.

How nice of the Nelsons for keeping Brinkley for you! Jade wishes it was us!

LOVE YOU!

I LOVE Logan, and especially the Mendon, Wellsville, Paridise area. But then again I'm partial because I grew up there and we went to USU! That would be hard to make such a drastic change and we'd never see you! Ryan wouldn't be commuting to SLC though would he?

Good luck on the house search. We ended up with this house we are in because we had gotten so fed up with the search. It wasn't exactly what I was hoping for, but at a point we were just done looking. Good luck in the search!
