Bye Bye Hwy 9 House...

We will most likely not be closing on the house in Boulder Creek next week. Inspections didn't go so well... Powder Post Beetles & Failed Septic = BAD!  Over $1000 down the drain.  Not cool.  We did send an addendum to the bank asking them to pay for the repairs which total as "little" as $10k, but could be as much as $40k.  We seriously doubt that they are going to do a thing, so we are preparing to move on.


Tonight, Kurt is looking at 4 different house (2 in Boulder Creek, 1 in Brookdale, and 1 in Felton).  None of them are short sales. Hallelujah!  It was confirmed this week that Kurt will be able to work from home 2 days a week instead of his normal 1, so we increased our looking area out a little farther.  I'm praying one of them works because we've already been released from our callings and I've already packed a dozen or so boxes.  I really don't like the feeling of being in limbo.  

I had a really hard time Friday night, but the awful feeling is slowing going away.  Saturday we took a guy from our ward shopping for all of his missionary clothes.  His family is struggling financially right now and he needed the help (he's never owned a suit or dress shoes, etc before).  The ward is covering a big portion of it, but it was a much needed distraction from everything else going on.

Sunday, the kids and Kurt woke up with horrible runny noses and sneezing, so I went to Sacrament meeting by myself.  I think the talks weren't meant for me.  (All Things Work Together for Good by Elder James B. Martino Of the Seventy which I'm actually supposed to speak on in a couple weeks, kind of funny.... and Your Happily Ever After by President Dieter F. Uchtdorf).  If you haven't read them you should!
