Hungry for Change?

Today we drove by two different bake sales for Obama - it was pretty funny. I got this picture a little haphazardly as we were driving by, so it's not very good, but this gives you an idea. The other bake sale had a huge sign that said "Bake Sale for Obama" in huge letters.

And as the housing roller coaster continues, last night we put an offer in on the house we are interested in. Well, our luck ran out and someone else had BARELY gotten an offer in and negotiated with the sellers at the end of this week, so it's now under contract. Of course we didn't learn this until today, after we had submitted the offer (the seller's realtor is not impressing me - our realtor left multiple messages with her and she never got back to ours until after we'd sent the offer). I guess they are still going to counter our offer and then we'll end up being a back-up offer in case the first deal falls through. Ben and I are pretty sad though. We're not exactly in a place where there are a zillion houses in our price range to choose from. So now we're praying the first offer falls through!

Oh no, I'm so sorry! When Brian saw this he immediately started searching the real estate websites and said, "Maybe I can find a house for them." We're keeping our fingers crossed that something new will come up.

Aw, man! I'm so sorry. My fingers are crossed that the other contract falls through or that you find something even better!
