Adjusting Desires

Sometimes our desires get complicated with the realities already in place!

As we all know, moving is an emotional experience. Add to all that the expense and inconvenience of being in a motel for ten days.  At that point our expectations and desires were ready for compromise.

We emailed all the agents we had known before and got a quick response from only one.  She indicated that our price range was unrealistic...  

We also happened to call on a fsbo lease house and discovered that it belonged to an agent who we had worked with once upon a time.  He suggested that we look on Craig's List.

We found two listings and when the owner called us back, we found our perfect match.  It is nothing like I imagined, but it was available and although more than we wanted to spend, it meant we could unload and return the truck!  

Now two weeks into our tenure in the house, we are settling in and almost unpacked.  Adjusting is not all that hard.  It just takes a serious jolt of practicality.
