Moral of the story? Don't buy a house unless you know you're going to stay there, or don't buy a house right before the biggest economic crash of the century.
Our sweet, little house where we planted beautiful gardens, learned the value of hard work, cozied up next to a wood-burning stove, learned the meaning of "freezing cold winters", watched our Zadok take his very first steps, gave birth to our baby Odin, entertained good friends and neighbors, and became more of the people we are today because of the experience. :)
