Heart in my Throat

Well it's been a week since we gave our offer to the new owner of our house on Opal Crest.
It's been a long week of phone calls, faxing, signing, emailing, negotiating, etc. It's all kind of a blur.
Tuesday: They countered, we countered back.
Wednesday: We heard back that they countered again, we basically accepted their terms, but didn't hear anything back Thursday or Friday.
Saturday: Finally, while we were once again in the middle of nowhere, 4 wheeling on Fordyce trail, my phone rings.

It was our realtor.
He had finally heard back. The owner had been really busy all week to start.
He also just found out that Home Depot charged his credit card anyways for the carpet and paint since the contractor already ordered and cut the carpet.
He thought the deal was off since we would now have to pay for the carpet and paint.
But our realtor told him that as long as we've waited for the house that doesn't he think we would still like to try to work something out??
So he gave him a call and talked. The conversation ended with an agreement that the new owner would find out just how much of the carpet he can cancel, and that whatever was left we would agree to pay for. While it was a bummer, we knew that having carpet already installed would buy us time to save up for the flooring that we really want. It sounded like the guy was still willing to work with us.
Then about an hour or so later, or realtor called again to let us know that the guy was able to move the carpet order to another one of his investment properties and that we would no longer have to pay for that. All we needed to do was wait until Tuesday for him to contact the escrow company and he would have the contract over to us.
Today is Tuesday.
My heart is in my throat as we patiently wait to see if he kept his word.
