So we have taken our house off the market.  All factors pointed in that direction. 

I am SO RELIEVED!!!!!

What a great weight has been lifted off my shoulders.  No more living on the edge of constant "What if's..."   It's over.

For now!

The housing market was slow when we listed last September.  The bottom has since fallen out of it!  We have been watching all the houses in the area repeatedly lower their prices, to the point that we would need to do the same to stay competetive.  But then we'd be losing our shirts.  And since we don't "have" to sell - we're not in any danger of losing our house to the bank or anything - it would be silly to keep playing this game right now.  So we took it off the market, and will re-evaluate the situation next spring.

Meanwhile, I'm looking forward to our summer, and making plans, and just relaxing!  My oldest son will get to go to camp again (which he is SO looking forward to!), and we are taking our hoped-for trip to Disney in the fall.

And now back to your regularly scheduled life....!
