a hiccup

a very quick and uncensored update:

We have run into a little hiccup. Maybe more than a little hiccup..but we are looking expectantly to what God will be doing in this.

Yesterday evening we got the phone call that our buyers walked. SO disappointing! (to put it mildly) They had the inspection and after that - they said we had a tree too close to the house and our hot water heater is too old. They didn't want to negotiate, they just wanted out. The buyer was a cash buyer and initially wanted to close December 31st. We are the ones that asked for the closing to be pushed back to the 9th of January...so we are assuming they found something else. I'm already tired of the prospect of keeping the house "show" ready and getting the kids and dog out at a moment notice. But - Maybe this house is needed by a different family. Maybe a different house out in Gothenburg will open up for us in the meantime. Like I said - Waiting Expectantly. And this is the perfect time of year to have that feeling :)
