The Good and Bad

Ok, so I've been thinking about all the "bad luck" that is supposed to be "good luck" that has transpired in the last year.

We visited Kansas and fell in love with it (good). Interviewed for a job a week later (good), flew to Kansas to interview for job and got the job (very good). A friend of ours was going to buy our house (good!). Put in an offer on a house in Kansas in September (yeah!!). California house didn't close by December and lost house in Kansas (bad). Found a better house and put in an offer (good!). House still didn't close in California due to probate issues and delays causing the whole deal to fall apart yet again! (bad!!) Started to rethink what we wanted here. Found a piece of property and are putting a modular home on it. (Big time good!) And, we can afford it all by ourselves! (outstandingly good!)

I guess lesson learned, is NEVER get your hopes up before all the key items are in place firmly because how you think things will be may NOT be what's BEST for YOU (or your family)! We have moved out of the house we were going to buy into a single wide mobile home next to the railroad tracks (lol, really you can't hear the trains very much). Not too bad. It serves a purpose and saves us money while our house is being built. Life is an adventure, right? (good!)

So right now, life is good. We are healthy, together, employed and have a much better quality of life than we ever had! Life is definitely not bad (very very good!)!!
