We got the word yesterday that the lady who looked at the house has decided not to make an offer. She is “passing on it” in her words. We are relieved, grateful, and more relaxed about what is going on with us right now.

Given that it looks like we won’t be able to move to California as quickly as we’d hoped, this is a very good thing. We will wait to put the house on the market until June or July, when we have a better sense of what is going on with the US Postal Service.

We had a great weekend, with lots of connections with family and friends for the Easter holiday, and now we have more to celebrate because we will be staying in this great house for a little while longer!
