Frustrating.

I am a poor multi-tasker. I like to finish a task before I move on to something else...I like to have tasks on a list, that I can tick off as completed, and feel like I've made some progress, rather than having everything going at the same time and coming to a miraculous and simultaneous finish right at the end.

And one thing I would have really really LOVED to get off my list of things to do before we get married (oh my goodness, I can't tell you HOW GOOD IT FEELS not to have to preface that phrase "before we get married" with some sort of qualifier. It feels fantastic!)...where was I...oh yes, one thing I would have loved to get off my list before we get married is buying a stupid house. (I don't literally mean a freestanding house by the way - I actually mean an apartment, but it's so much quicker to say and type!)

There was one place we were really interested in, so much so that we made 2 offers on it. Then the agent called us to say they had an offer the vendors were willing to accept, what were we going to do about it?? Then we offered again (lower than we were actually willing to pay, of course), and the agent told us that the ball park figure was a range $10K above what he initially told us the range was. Screw that - so trying to push the price up! Anyway, I just found out this morning that the property sold for an amount actually slightly below what we would have been willing to pay at our utmost.

It's so hard NOT to go "If only we had offered $6K more, we would have bought it...". I'm really disappointed actually (luckily, it's too nice a day to mope for too long). Stupid silent auctions for properties!

And in the midst of all this, I need to remember that God has His plan and that there is a place out there waiting that He has earmarked especially for us.
