Queen of Returns

Today I made my biggest return yet--a house! After lots thinking, praying, and talking we decided to back out of the Centex home we were building. Talk about a relief! There were so many issues burdening us and when we signed the termination papers today a big weight was lifted. Thank you to all of you who left encouraging comments; I appreciated them!

So what now? The house from the previous post is still available. We've seen it several times now. It appears to be in good shape, it's just in need of some updating. With the $8,000 we'll get for being first time buyers, we should be able to complete the needed updates. I'd post some of the pictures I took the other night, but they're not that great. The battery on the camera was dying so I was running around like crazy just trying to get a basic idea of the house. We're waiting for the owners to get back in town so we can talk prices. I'll let you know how it goes!
