things
So in Feb we put in an offer on a house that we found and Meg had fell in love with. Time after time we would get false info from the ASSet manager, stringing us along.
Then a few weeks ago, I get a call from my sister telling me that my dad, who had just been put on the heart transplant list a few weeks before, is getting a new heart. So I head out to Virginia to be there.
That Saturday, I get a call from our agent, Nalani Young of Northwest Prudential, who has been absolutely wonderful, telling us Wells Fargo finally approved our offer. That news, along with the transplant being a success, made for a great feeling.
So our closing is set for Sept 6th. Which makes for a VERY busy two weeks. We have PAX, then spend a week with my brother Brett in Cali, then back here to sign the papers.
I need that vacation. But the stress taken off our back waiting, is a relief. And knowing my dad is getting a second chance, is a blessing.
Thanks to everyone who has been supportive.
hurry up and wait!
That’s what it seems like with the house hunting. When we have something to do with paperwork or what not, we’re under time constraints. But when it comes to the bank, its a waiting game. I had heard it would be stressful, but never realized how much as well as being mentally draining. Hope its over with soon.
One thing I don’t have to work about anymore are my brothers. Both John and Brett are back. John is the one who had been injured by the IED during his deployment and just recently received a Purple Heart for that. He is still dealing with his injuries but his holding the faith that all will get better.
Otherwise, not much else is going on. Maybe I’ll get back into posting here more often when things sort themselves out. Until then, be excellent to each other.
yeah yeah
I haven’t posted in awhile, been sort of in a funk. If you follow me on Facebook, you saw what happened in Dec.
If you don’t, I had to put my beagle, Mabel, down. She had developed cancer some time ago and it finally got the better of her. We had her cremated and buried her at my parents house with one of their other beagles.
Christmas was good. Was helpful spending it with my parents, seeing my sister and two of my nieces and nephew. The trip coming back though was rather rough.
The storms wreaked havoc on many people’s travel plans. Including ours. Flights coming back home were cancelled, delayed, causing us to sleep in airports and take two days to get home. We were rather upset with Southwest’s policies. They do not give meal voucher’s, refunds, or hotel accommodations. The return trip tickets were put onto our accounts for use at a later date and they made a token apology by giving us both a $200 voucher, so that pays for our trip to Arizona for spring training and my trip to PAX:East.
And now we have a cat that has renal failure. Not looking forward to the that end.
