The insanity that is home buying!

So we found a great house. It has a bedroom and full bath on the main floor which we need for my MIL. Finding a house with this feature is very rare in the area we are moving too. So we made an offer, 14k under asking. They countered 6k over asking. So we countered back 9k under asking. Then it got hard. Someone else decided to offer. Now we have to submit our final and best and hope they pick us. We need this house for so many reasons. I hate this process. The up and down of emotion, the do this and do that of it all. We have placed furniture in our heads, we have budgeted and figured out every detail. It all sucks.
