The stupid bank screwed up our paperwork!!! And didn't know it til this morning... so now all the paperwork has to be redone at the underwriter's office. Needless to say, we can't close on our house today... we are so bummed. Now they're saying it'll be next Wednesday before it will be ready. Stupid bank...

Moving Day Jitters

Not only do I still have half of my apartment to pack, but I have to be completely out of my apartment on Saturday (same for G- my fiance) and we still aren't for sure if we will even have somewhere to move our stuff to!!! The house closing is scheduled for tomorrow at 4p. I am PRAYING nothing else holds us up, because we both have to be out of our apartments Sat (end of the month) and with the closing situated like it is, there is no extra time to scramble for a rental or anything, if the closing doesn't happen according to plan. This is so frustrating!!! I will have most of my apartment packed tonight since G has to work late tonight so he can take tomorrow off. So I'll be ready to move, but I doubt I get any sleep tonight, trying not to get too excited, and trying not to play too many "what-if" scenarios through my head. Oh, Please Lord, let this all go okay...

Mini Pamper Session

I got to finish my book yesterday, I spent my whole lunch hour reading, and finished the last 40 pages at home last night. And then I got to use my new Pedicure foot spa last night. I LOVE it! It made my feel so good! Not as good as a professional pedicure, but maybe a mini papmer session. It was still nice though. I relaxed a little last night, even with more house/bank issues. Now the bank didn't get something from G's landlord, so G had to drop everything he was doing at work to go track it down himself, which he did- but just the thought of all the extra work he has had to do, I appreciate it and know its been stressful for him. I talked to God for a long while last night after realizing my worrying about ithas not been good, and told Him that I'm going to try very hard to leave the house details in His hands. He won't let us go homeless, and He will have a plan that is best for us, even if its not the plan we had in mind.
And now some exciting news! My mom has finished her radiation treatments and is Cancer FREE!!! I am so proud of my mom- she has accomplished so much in the last few weeks. Not only did she stand up to the big bad "C" word, she passed her CT-Scan registry test, and she's making my wedding dress, but she has given me a new perspective on silent strength. She went right on working and studying and sewing, and never once complained or asked "Why me?" she just kept plugging along, and I pray she is closer to God now than ever, I know she said she laid on that table and talked to Him every morning, since she knew He could hear her above the noise of the machines. I know I am closer to Him because of her. It was hard to "let go and let God", I am so close to my mom, and to not be by her side through all of this was tough. But I knew God would take care of her, and He did! He has been so good to us.
Well now down to business- its time for me to get to work. Only a few more days til I get a whole week off!! :-)

Stressed out and tired

I am praying I make it through this week okay, not only do I have a lack of sleep (thanks to the neighbors downstairs) and all the house deadlines (I haven't even started packing yet, and have to be out of my apartment by Saturday) but hormones decided to show up last night too!!! I cried myself to sleep last night, and the only reason I can think that stared the waterworks, was just how incredibly tired I have been. My fiance is so good to me too, he tucked me into bed, sobbing, and let himself out, and locked up for me so I wouldn't have to. I love him so much. He is my rock, and keeps me from going totally berserk at times.
I wish I could have stayed in bed today and finished my book. I love to read, and haven't been able to do a lot of it with all the wedding planning going on. But I found a new Lori Wick book last week and really got into it. I'll probably read my lunch away today, but it does help relieve some of the stress I'm having. I can lose myself in the book and forget my problems for a while.
I am also going through purse withdrawl... my future SIL bought me a really cool purse for Christmas, and I've only been without it a day since (when it got a bath), but I had to leave it with my mom to fix where I've already worn out the corners and they're fraying. None of my other purses seems to fit all the stuff I had in that purse... I'm gonna have to get another one simialr so I have a back-up in the future. I'd better make this short, I'm so tired, I'm having to type almost every word twice, with all the mistakes I'm making. 5 more days, hopefully less until I don't have noisy downstairs neighbors anymore, I pray.... And only 18 more days til I get married!!!

Red tape and Noisy Neighbors

More red tape with the house. Have to have more paperwork (for the things that need to be fixed) done before the closing. And now they tell us G makes too much money for the grant that has already been written into the loan stuff. So now the bank is scrambling to get us some other kind of "loan" to cover what the grant was supposed to. All this and we are supposed to close next week!!! It is soooo furstrating. And on top of that, someone moved into the apartment under mine, and three out of the last four nights, I have been rudely awakened between 12a and 4a when they decide to turn their music up and yell at each other. I am soooo tired, I was up from 12:30 to 2:30 this morning listening to "Low Rider" and other choice selections... Pepsi and Mt. Dew have been my close friends today. I keep praying that the house stuff will work out, I cannot WAIT to get out of that apartment!!!

Home Inspection

Oue home inspection was yesterday. There are probelms with the house that need to be fixed before our loan can be approved. I am praying that the sellers will fix them. If they refuse, we can't buy the house :-(
