Cameron and I received bad news on Thursday. What we had been led to believe by the Meritage Homes Sales Representative to be a done deal regarding the house we thought we had bought (even our realtor, Kim, was under the same impression), turned out not to be the case. The builder (Meritage Homes) has decided they aren’t making enough money on the sale, and have rescinded the purchase agreement, returned our deposit after they had already cashed it and are upping the price to a price we’re not willing to pay. So the hunt is back on. Cameron and I were not in the best of spirits at the end of last week, but we’ve finally decided it wasn’t meant to be and we know there is a house out there for us at the right price. Only issue now is we’ve lost a week where we could have been hunting and are under a bit of a time crunch to find a place soon. Kim is working hard for us and is now first visiting homes that meet our needs on her own to ensure it is in good shape before taking us to see it. We’re still moving forward with the packing up of our home while we continue the search. I guess the saying “what seems to good to be true” held true this time. Not exactly the experience you want as a first-time home buyer.
After receiving this news, Cameron flew off to Vegas for our friend Jonny’s bachelor party. Not exactly what he wanted to do after having our dreams crushed, but he came back in decent spirits last night, just overly exhausted. Seems the boys stayed up ‘til dawn each night. Other than that, what happened in Vegas has stayed in Vegas – not that I want to know what went on any how. As long as Jonny had a good time, that’s all that matters. Now the boys can start planning Cameron’s bachelor party, though I doubt another trip to Vegas is in the cards.
While Cameron was MIA in Vegas I spent Saturday with the girls. The day started off with picking up Alyssa, our friend Jeremy’s girlfriend (and what a wonderful girl she is) and driving the two hours to Sac to pick-up Lynde. From there we drove to Yuba City for Anna’s bridal shower (yes, she’s bachelor Jonny’s fiancé and they get married in two weeks! Hurray!). The theme of the party was Tea party. The food was great with little tea sandwiches (crusts cut off, of course) and the cutest little chocolate mice! They were so cute, I found the recipe here and ….

A picture for you, too!
The travel to the shower and the shower took up most of the day. We stopped in Roseville on the way home to have a late dinner at my fave restaurant BJ’s Brewery. I didn’t get home until after midnight, but the day with the girls brought my spirits back and was worth the late hour arrival. I slept in late Sunday before proceeding with laundry, cleaning, packing and crafting. I’ve almost got everything done for the wedding on the craft front. I’ll take some pictures soon and show you!
Love always,
Sarah
