We lost the house we were really dreaming of today. It's been tough. I think the toughest part is that we are going to have to spend more to get a house that we don't love as much. This system sucks.

On the bright side, we found a house that we do really like. One that if we hadn't seen the other would really feel a whole lot better about. It's actually really close and checks a lot of the boxes that our family wants. Fingers crossed this one is not a crazy as the last.
