everyone wants a piece of us now

while gorging myself in jujubes and wallowing in self sorrow and a few bottles, i mean glasses of wine last night i have come to terms with us not getting our dream house aka the money pit. thanks for the encouragements and words of wisdom on the comments. positive vibes must be flowing my way for today a strange turn of events has happened. while running errands this morning, i was thinking what house do i love that's still available when the team construction house came to mind. its got a kick ass pantry and killer master shower plus it will be brand new and built just the way i want it. too bad that both lots that we wanted are no longer available. so after running errands and getting high maintenced kaylee settled with her babysitter aka the tv, i got on-line and started to look at team constructions website to see if they had any houses or lots for sale near our current area. while thinking that chris at team construction doesn't like us because he never called us with the "guarantee offer" that he had mentioned back in late august (?) i get a phone call. what are the odds that its chris from team construction wanting to offer us that "guarantee sale" that he had mentioned back in august??? a guarantee sale is pretty much we get to stay in our current house until it either sells or the new house is finished. if our current house isn't sold when the new house is finished, he will buy it for said price. we won't lose any money so its pretty much a win win situation for us. that's the one i want to do!! and there are a few lots that could work for us. and tonight while cleaning the house i got a knock on the door. its the homeowner to the cottage grove house. the one that we looked at twice before deciding that we still want to keep our options open. (+waiting to sell our house) she wanted to tell us that its still available if were interested, just not through a realtor. it seems everyone knew we found out yesterday that we weren't getting our dream home and now everyone wants a piece of us. and to show you all how crazy the market is right now. i want to go and see this house its 5000 square foot and its 10 grand less than building a new one that's only 2000 square foot and it costs the same as the cottage grove house. (they both need some remodeling work to make it our own but still the 5000 sq foot house is a deal!) we don't need a 5000 sq. foot house .
