Not for Sale

While I was sick, Brad worked so hard to get our place ready for sale, he bleached all of our doors and window frames, then touched up painting all the white floor boards, doors, door and window frames, etc. He painted the bathroom and our guest bedroom white (per our Realtors suggestion). It was a long process. While he was touching up, my job was to de-clutter and organized. And I took this task pretty seriously...some of you may say I was “nesting” a bit...and I probably was or just purely motivated to sell this condo once we listed it on Monday (today). Every closet, cabinet, and drawer is well organized, thanks to my few trips to The Container Store!

Well.......long story short....it turns out, because of other units on a short sale in our complex and the value of our place, our Realtor advised us to not list it just quite yet. So, all that hard work and thinking positively sort of slapped us in the face....at least, that’s how we feel. It’s been discouraging to want to be out of this place now for well over a year and especially when we thought we were going about it in a smart way. BUT...Brad and I have so much to be thankful for. So although the situation is disappointing and heartbreaking, we have a super clean and cute little condo that will fit a family of 3 and a dog comfortably. We have our little one on the way, our love, our health and supportive family and friends that remind us how precious life is. Although we can’t have what we want now, we know in time it will come! Time to focus on Baby Fetrow’s arrival!

PS. Anyone want to help re-paint our guest bedroom into a nursery! Haha! :)
