So a week before we were to close on 13900 Wenrich, Sam finds out there is a chance he may be laid off from TRANE! Our closing date on the new house is supposed to be March 1st so we ask them to give us a few more weeks until we can figure out what will happen with Sam's job.
During the second week of March, Sam is indeed laid off. We could technically still close on the house but I just do not feel "right" doing that. We had enough money saved up and Sam had other options available to him (job wise) that he could take and that would allow us to close on the new house but we decide one Sunday night that we are going to pass on the new house and move to Austin! I didn't think we would ever have an opportunity to move back to ATX so we jumped in this one quickly.
Sam had a job offer in New Braunfels which would have been 15-20 miles from the new house. It was a little sad since we had picked out everything we wanted and how we wanted it and spend money on upgrades etc and when it was finally done and ready to close, we don't. We even had a vacuum in the walls (built in) where all we had to do is open the conveniently placed slit in the wall and sweep all of Jake and Mia's hair and it would swoop it up. So convenient!
Moving to Austin was higher on our priority list than having a newly built house so we are happy with our decision. Sam being laid off always turns out to be a positive thing for us even if at the time it doesn't seem so positive. Either way, we are grateful!
