Something (Not So) Wonderful

Ok, so the big surprise has become a big disappointment.
A company approached Sean and wanted to partner with him, but the company is in Buffalo, NY meaning we'd have to move there. Sean said no-can-do. Then there were talks of a buy-out of Sean's software company instead. A very lucrative buy-out...one million dollars or close to that. So, I got a little excited, naturally. The big meeting was today, and things did not go as we hoped. The company did not come remotely close to the original figure. The nerve!
What does this mean for us? Not much, really. Sean's business is doing extremely well. We will be just fine without a buy-out, in fact it is probably the smarter thing to do in the long run. The only thing it affects is our move time line to Colorado. Instead of moving whenever we want to, we now have to wait several more months until the software project Sean is currently working on is complete....no big deal in the grand scheme of things.
Thank you all for your thoughts and good wishes on our behalf. Things always work out the way they are suppose to, so it's all good!
Next time I will keep my big trap shut so that I don't make you all suffer! Sorry. :)

I'm sad to hear your move has been delayed, but it sounds like it has the potential to be better for everyone in the long run. You're in our prayers, and we can't wait to see you again.

Wow, what a rollercoaster for you guys. These things happen for a reason and you've learned something that will benefit you, eventually. Can't wait until you can move closer to us!

You are all loved and missed...

Shoot but congrats in the same sentence. To have a company at least look at your comapny for a buy-out is great. At least you know that you have the potential. That is great! Dont worry, another offer will come along.

So I guess that means that there is now more time for Clayt & I to save up $$$ to come out and see Texas???

Sorry things didn't go as expected for you guys. Wait, you're still running for president though right?
