Ups and Downs...Continued

I had this wonderful post all written out about saying goodbye to my house in Denver. I was down in the city on Tuesday cleaning it out and making the final preparations for the transfer of ownership, which was scheduled for next week.

After I did one final cleaning and packing up all my staging items, I went back into the house to take one last look around and to lock up. I remembered the feeling of the first time I walked into the house on the day I bought it. I remembered my excitement of being a first time homeowner. I remembered my first leaky pipe, first time mowing the lawn and the first time buying furniture for my new house. I remembered Dave and I falling back in love in that house.


For some reason, Dave only remembers the bad things about the house. He's more of a "glass half empty" kind of guy. His memories of it, well...he could care less. I guess that's the difference between boys and girls, right?

Anyway, I was all prepared to post about saying goodbye to it. I'm thankful I didn't get around to posting it because the entire deal fell apart yesterday. Yup, completely fell apart. The house is back on the market. I cannot believe I wasted 6 weeks with the current buyer only to have her flake. I am so annoyed by it, it makes me physically ill.

Anyone want to buy a house in Denver?

  3. Ugh we went through that same roller coaster when we sold Zach's condo after we got married. I think the closing fell through like 8 times. It went under contract in January and finally closed toward the end of May. I totally know how you are feeling. It's a cute place - somebody will come along soon!
