At least, we probably didn't get it.
That lady came back and said she wanted it and the property manager gave it to her. However, several things are in play. The lady's son really didn't want to move there and she had already put a deposit down on another place. She has until this weekend to sign the lease and if she doesn't we swoop in and take it.
However, in the meantime, the property manager, feeling guilty about how we got screwed out of our Dream House, showed us another property she had for lease. It's a little farther from where we wanted to be, not as nice as the Dream House, but better than where we are now. We are going to have to do some rearranging and figuring but we made the place we are in now work so we are up to the challenge. We agreed to move into this second house because 1) we wanted to stay with the property manager who is really nice and attentive and took care of all of our concerns. And 2) if we stuck with the property manager as soon as the Dream House became available we could move into it. Because no matter what we wanted that house, even if it means moving AGAIN. Ugh.
So we are now in the process of packing everything up. And man, I think all of our shit has accumulated over this past year. I don't remember there being this much stuff to pack. It also makes me worry about where we are going to put it all. But like I said, we made this house we are in now work, we will make this new one work.
We are moving the 21st. Because the 29th is a holiday and there is no way we would find anyone who could help us. That leaves us a little more than two weeks to get everything together and packed and ready to go. I am trying not to stress but it is hard. Since we don't have to be out of our old place until June 1st we are going to hold a garage sale the 28th to get rid of all the stuff we don't want to move. So if there is even a qualm about keeping something, into the garage sale pile it goes! Makes purging so much more fun now that I know I may make a profit off it and not have to pack something.
So things are moving along...and we are caught up in the whirlwind.
Of course we are still holding our breath through this weekend that we get that phone call saying the lady dropped out and the Dream House is ours.
Trying to keep the hope alive!

It sounds like you have a good chance at the dream house. I'm trying not to get my hopes up for you but...
I cannot help, myself, but Ken is happy to lend a hand. Let me know if you need boxes and I can get them from work. Drop us a line and let us know when you need Ken.
Have you heard anything yet?? I am sending good thoughts to you and hope she craps out on the whole deal. Maybe she will lose her money on the other house if she ends up screwing you guys..
Moving. uggg We are moving in July. and, like you, we have to downsize. a bunch.
I am kind of looking forward to purging out the stuff we have accumulated over the last 4 years, and we do not plan on moving again!!!
Man, that sucks. Why is that other lady screwing around, wasting everybody's time? I hope you get the Dream House!
