Getting Back on the Horse

So Saturday we went to look at houses, and fell in love with the first one we saw. We halfheartedly looked at two after that (one of which was awful), but we just knew we wanted to put an offer in on the first house. We had to do this right away because somehow, the seller's agent accidentally double-booked the house to be seen at 10am, so we were NOT the only ones looking at the house while we were there, and from the looks and attitude we got from the other people who were looking at the house at the same time as we were, they were interested too. In fact, they were downright rude and treated us like we didn't even deserve to be there. It was obnoxious.

We put a very decent offer down a few hours later, and apparently so did that evil couple. They must have put in a super awesome-er offer though, because the seller accepted it and rejected us, just like that. No counter-offer, no nothing. We were bummed, it was sad. It would have been nice to get our first offer ever accepted, but you know what? We're lucky enough to have the opportunity to buy a house, and we have to remember that. There is another house out there for us, and we already have a few lined up to check out this week/weekend. It just wasn't meant to be. But that doesn't mean I'm still not bummed. At least I have Olympic figure skating to cheer me up (I love it). Here's to getting through yet another Monday unscathed.
