After more than two months of having a so called "contract" on our house, our "buyers" ended up not qualifying for the loan...big shocker..lol So our house is still for sale. However, we decided that it is far overdue for us to be together as a family. This past Saturday, Dean, Austin and I moved into our new place. Our new place is an apartment but that is ok.....we are all together. It is a nice complex with playgrounds, pools and even a dog park. We have been busy trying to get settled. This past Monday, I had orientation at Richardson ISD and am now set up to start subbing. I have also been scouting out places for Austin to goto school. I found one today! A nice place called The Peanut Gallery. He will start next week, so I can start working. I think we are both ready to get into a routine. We have had fun being together for many weeks now but he needs kids to play with and I need adults to talk too!!...lol
Thanks to all who sent kind notes, lent us listening ears, advice, shoulders to cry on, places to live and prayers....please keep praying for the house to sell!! We really need it too! Take care and have a great weekend!

The Waiting Game
The waiting game of life...isn't that all part of life? I am saying yes. Here is what we know thus far.........
Our "buyers" are no more qualified for a loan that the high school boy next door! Yes, you read that correctly. We have had a contract for two and a half months with these people. It is a VERY, VERY long story but comes down to this. Both the buyers and the mortgage company are at fault for this taking so long. People have drug their feet and laws have been violated..yes, you just read that correctly! Oh, not buy us either. We had all of our stuff done within two weeks. If it wasn't for Dean lighting a fire under some asses (sorry if i just offended anyone, but that is the best way to put it), I believe we would still just be sitting "waiting" for this loan process to take its slow and unorganized time. However, the manager of the mortgage company, now assures us that we will know by Wednesday if these people are approved or not. I am hoping that will happen! Prayers that they are approved and we can sell this house!!
As for the houses situation....both our house and the house we want to buy in Rowlett have gone back on the market. Anybody want to buy a house in Guthrie, OK? We have told the buyers that if they are approved and there are no other offers on our house, we will sell it to them. The same goes for us and the gentleman selling the house we want to buy. he told us that if he doesn't have a contract on the house and our buyers are actually approved, he will enter back into a contract with us.
Now we are at the point where we just need to sell our house. School will be starting soon and I want to start subbing so I can work my way into some schools. There is also the money thing....that is a whole other blog that I won't bother you all with!
Over the last few days I have come to a conclusion about this whole thing. This is happening to us but it is not happening for us. We are players in someone else's life learning lesson. Dean and I already know that we can weather any storm that God and the Devil throw our way. That past 14 months have proven that. God has put us in this situation because we are strong and have the best family and friends that support and love us. Not everyone has that. So, as inconvenient and hard this is for us, someone else is learning alot more than we are. As the sayings go; "What doesn't kill you only makes you stronger" and "This to shall pass."......this to shall pass, we will get through this and only be stronger!
Let you know where we are next week!

Not again..yes, AGAIN!
Well, we are not closing on the houses tomorrow...I wish I was kidding. Once again, there is a delay in the paperwork.... This time we are looking for who is responsible and want real answers. Dean and the realtors are handling that. As for the house in Rowlett, we don't know what is going to happen. I am sure that the gentleman selling it WILL put it back on the market this go around. We should know more by the end of the day.... Who knows what will happen at this point. I will post again when we have more answers.
