Well, I got denied for the loan today. :-( I think I'm SOL.

I'm not sure that walking away is really doing me any favors. She tells me (it might not be true, I have no way of knowing one way or the other) that she has several others who have wanted to buy him, but she wanted to offer him to me first. She also says that in a good economy, he's worth more than double what I offered for him...who knows about now, though?

It'll be my luck I'll tell her no, and someone else will snatch him up tomorrow...I doubt I'll get this chance again. I'm so upset over this whole thing.
