I don&#39;t even know what else to say. I do think somehow something will work out that you will be happy with in the end, but this clearly isn&#39;t the highlight of the journey getting there.maggiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17084143630207764529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8197179663823770853.post-13584934826475059832009-10-04T22:08:45.391-05:002009-10-04T22:08:45.391-05:00Awh, I&#39;m sorry to hear it fell through. *sigh* You guys will figure out what&#39;s best...faintstarlitehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11780565556789466907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8197179663823770853.post-33703170587735696002009-10-02T20:29:18.491-05:002009-10-02T20:29:18.491-05:00Oh Colleen, I&#39;m so sorry this buyer didn&#39;t work out. But I am CERTAIN, 100% certain that you will have what you want soon. You are a hard worker and an excellent mother, not to mention an amazing wife, and you are making sacrifices now that will pay huge dividends later. I promise. Hang in there, even if it&#39;s only by the slimmest of threads. Dig deep, you have it in you, and I know you can do it. Breathe. Breathe. Breathe again. I believe in you. And I really believe you will have your dreams fulfilled. Until then... lots and lots of love, hugs and support.Colleenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12220059390118194176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8197179663823770853.post-70250972613123773262009-10-02T17:15:09.911-05:002009-10-02T17:15:09.911-05:00I&#39;m so sorry this happened to you! I know you were so excited (overwhelmed, but excited) when I met you at AJWright.<br /><br />Like others have said, I hope that something more wonderful happens in the future, and that there is a reason this didn&#39;t work out at this time.hillsmithfamilyhttp://hillsmithfamily.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8197179663823770853.post-36226510671636543812009-10-01T14:00:19.470-05:002009-10-01T14:00:19.470-05:00I&#39;m sorry to hear about the inspection, and it really sounds like it shouldn&#39;t be a big deal. Then again, living in a small house isn&#39;t so bad either, it gives everyone a since of closeness, etc. Things happen for a reason, and I&#39;m pretty sure it isn&#39;t to make you feel miserable. Who knows, maybe you already have another offer coming in.Rogerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01831602215904873587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8197179663823770853.post-56262400484880615732009-09-29T21:44:51.873-05:002009-09-29T21:44:51.873-05:00I am so very sorry, Colleen!

I know it&#39;s frustrating when your dream seem within reach and then suddenly yanked away. But it doesn&#39;t always mean it is. Sometimes there&#39;s a different, even better dream that comes true out of it. Everything happens for a reason and you ARE strong enough to get thru it.Kate @ Life As I Live Ithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10260394895868230885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8197179663823770853.post-585930078507688092009-09-29T13:25:52.340-05:002009-09-29T13:25:52.340-05:00Take a deep breath.

Hang in there though, the home will sell. A buyer will come through who is willing to buy the home regardless.<br /><br />I can&#39;t believe that you weren&#39;t told to be present for the inspection in 2000. That&#39;s so odd, I&#39;d really look into that, you may have a case. Did you receive a copy of the inspection? They are supposed to provide you with one. We&#39;ve used Pillar to Post for both of our inspections and not only was it an inspection, it was a &quot;How To&quot; guide throughout our entire home.winelushhttp://winelush.myvidoop.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8197179663823770853.post-91686955354854378602009-09-29T10:35:37.467-05:002009-09-29T10:35:37.467-05:00I am really sorry that you got such a disappointment. I have had months and years where it seemed as if nothing would ever work out the way it should, but in the end it always does. I will say, that even if you have a small house, you can still add to your family! We have a 3 bedroom and are about to have baby number 4. Sometimes it seems you can&#39;t turn around without bumping into someone or something, but most of the time that is a good thing. There&#39;s never a dull moment. It&#39;ll be OK.Kellyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13120194114782677530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8197179663823770853.post-18502098306214923232009-09-29T09:55:04.305-05:002009-09-29T09:55:04.305-05:00So sorry.

Stick to your guns. DO NOT give up. One of the most traumatic things a family goes through is moving from one house to anther. For some reason or other, it&#39;s just never EASY. That said, when it&#39;s RIGHT - when it&#39;s what&#39;s meant to be - THEN it will all just click right into place.<br /><br />You have a dream. It&#39;s out there. Don&#39;t give up on it now. I know it sounds stupid to say something like this - but it&#39;s true -- when the going gets tough, the Tough get going.<br /><br />You ARE tough. You KNOW you are. Now BE tough.LceeLhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13024392628362568010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8197179663823770853.post-54399085992512323472009-09-29T09:40:09.086-05:002009-09-29T09:40:09.086-05:00I&#39;m so sorry to hear this.

So, we live 5 people in a small townhouse, with a small yard, in a less-than-perfect neighborhood, on the corner of a busy intersection. My kids are familiar with sirens and cramped play spaces. Just because it&#39;s like this today, doesn&#39;t mean it always will be...<br /><br />Good luck and I hope you guys find the right answer for you right now!!morninglight mamahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04128926711800459894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8197179663823770853.post-33422032443408357422009-09-29T08:57:33.923-05:002009-09-29T08:57:33.923-05:00Colleen, I&#39;m so sorry you are having to go through this.
