You may remember that we’re getting ready to PCS.
Stttrrrreeeesssssss.
We’re trying to buy a house in DC and we KNOW the house we want to make an offer on (and the price on it just dropped $24K yesterday!). Our Realtor in Maryland is ready to make an offer for us as soon as we give her the ok. We’re preapproved for a mortgage contingent on either having a signed lease for our house in GA or me having a nonconditional job offer.
If one of those conditions works out, the rest would fall into place – if I get a job, we don’t have to worry about renters (although they’d be nice) and we can still get a house. If we get can get renters, we’ll be ok even if I’m not working for a bit longer and we can get a house.
I’ve signed letters of intent with a company contingent on them getting a contract awarded to them, which they should find out soon. I’m also talking to another company that is very promising. But no firm offers yet.
We’re working with our property manager, prepping everything in our house, and showing our house to potential renters, but no lease signed yet.
I’m going crazy knowing that everything is so close to working out, but just not quite there. If some people would just sign a lease… if I could get just a job offer… if we could put the offer on the house… problems all solved.
No more stress.
But there’s nothing I can do about any of this.
So I’m just making my house as clean as I can, polishing up my resume, and hoping no one else likes the house we like.
And maybe I’ll magically get a job offer this week. Or renters.
Toss me some good luck if you’ve got any extra laying around please! We need all the luck we can get.

So far in the past week Munky’s mom passed her citizenship test, and the Kings made it to the Stanley Cup Final and won their first game. The people I’m rooting for are doing pretty well! I’ll add you to my list.
I don’t think you want any of the kind of house-related “luck” that seems to have glommed onto me lately, but I will send you abundant good thoughts! I have a feeling that things are on the verge of clicking into place for you, so I hope that moment of relief comes really soon.
Sending lots of luck!!!! I’m in MD so I’m selfishly hoping this happens soon!!!!
Oh man. Crossing my fingers and toes for you!! I hoe things work out and that it works out soon so you can breath a sigh of relief!
How did I miss that you had signed a letter of intent? The is so exciting. I am sure everything will fall into place sending you all the good juju I have!
Best of luck to you. I don’t have too much around here, but all my luck is forwarded your way
Ummm….luck…I’ll search for some here, but so far I think luck has avoided this house. Although I have been lucky in shopping for my home (I’m calling it pre-summer Navy exercise ‘nesting’), so maybe I’m getting my groove back. Just call me Stella…
Sending lucky vibes your way!!! Hope you’re finding a little bit of time to try to relax through all the chaos
Thank you! And yes, definitely – that’s what the gym is for
