Well our bid on that particular house wasn’t accepted.  At first I was a little sad, but I have since discovered that everything happens for a reason.  And this is what happened to us next….

Last night my father in law came in to discuss his decision about putting  his home up for sale.  He is ready to move and would like to move into a retirement community that is in his area.  He then asked my husband and I if we would like to purchase his home.  He stated that if we purchase it, he will sell it to us at a lot cheaper price than if he were to put it on the open market.  So after he left my husband and I had a major discussion concerning this move.  There are pros and cons to the situation so we need a little time to make a decision.

So I honestly think that we didn’t get the house we put our bid on only because this offer has been patiently waiting for us to make a decision.  So we will discuss it more and then make our decision very shortly.  The good thing about this offer is that he is not ready to move yet and hasn’t gotten his apartment in the retirement community yet so we do have a bit of time.
