Heavy Sigh..

My fiancé and I have been planning for quite a while now to add another 'big snake' into the group. We both had been progressively leaning towards a Retic over a Burm. Since our finances are in order and we have the extra chunk to spend, we wanted to wait for something unique that we don't necessarily come across in our area often. We had wanted to wait just one more week to finalize our exact budget since you NEVER know what life will decide to throw at you from one day to the next. Completely out of the blue, we were approached with a juvenile Pied Retic and I nearly had a heart attack, especially that it was a mere 45 minute drive to transport home. I knew that was the 'unique' we had patiently waited to come across. BUT someone beat us to the punch. I didn't imagine this happening in less than a day's time but it sure did. Something with that kind of a price tag I didn't think would sell as fast. I feel that's a hell of an oppurtunity we missed out on and I'm quite bummed. We just needed that extra week to feel 120% comfortable. Trying to tell myself he just wasn't the one. Anyone else experienced similar situations where you've gotten your hopes up?
