Right now, I’m dealing with a lot of feelings.  First, there’s frustration. :x When we started looking into buying a townhome, we were pre-approved for our loan.  But, that was before the economy tanked and the real estate market started getting an overhaul.  Long story short, lots of regulations have changed with a few of the banks that we’re working with so what we qualified for before based on our credit/income isn’t the same now.  And, because the buying process wasn’t finished, nothing was locked in.  We’re having to jump through a lot hoops now just to get the loan.  (At least, this is what we’re being told.)  We haven’t been disqualified yet because we keep being told to do one more thing.

Second, there’s anxiety. 8O We have to move Saturday and there are no ifs, ands, or buts about it.  We’re being told that everything is moving along and we’ll be able to close no later than next week.  Are we going to be homeless for a couple of days?  Or, is everything going to work out just in the nick of time?  I don’t know and it’s very nerve racking.

Third, there’s depression. Why does it seem that we always have to jump through hoops to make things happen?  This depression doesn’t just come from our townhome purchase; there’s a lot of history and other things going on right now that support this line of thinking.  Corey’s a very private person, so I don’t talk about all our problems on my blog.  Just believe me; we’ve gone through a lot and we are continuing to go through a lot!

I guess the hardest thing about this is trying to find another place to live that we can afford with such short notice.  However, we do have a backup plan just in case something happens and we don’t get this townhome.  It’s not what we want, but it’ll do.

Thanks for letting me vent and thanks for all your support!  We could use some more to help us through this next little bit. :?
