Busy Busy

Wow, 3 days have passed. I had hoped to blog the past 2 days and before I knew it they were gone.

Daddy and I have been so busy trying to get out of our house. Our mortgage company is messed up and so is the state of MN. We figured it all out (after 1 apartment and 1 townhouse denials) and looked at a condo today. We pray we won't need a co-signer. You would think one's family would be there for them and it amazes me how selfish our parents are. We aren't looking for handouts all we want is help getting back on our feet. My mom flat out said No and Daddy's parents have conditions attached to them saying yes.

Who does that? If my child were trying to get back on track I would be there in a heartbeat. No questions asked. It just boggles my mind when Daddy's parents still treat his 2 brothers (27 and 25) like kids and think it's OK. These 2 don't have jobs, have no plans for jobs, and still live at home. But they treat Daddy like crap when he is the one who pretty much raised himself and everything he has accomplished in his life he has done alone without his parents help. The only thing they did was berate him while he was making something of himself.

On the other side we have the most amazing friends. God has surely blessed us with you all. Thank you and hugs don't seem enough.

I also have the best boss. I called her today to let her know that the condo needed a letter stating I work there and what my annual salary is. She said our HR won't fill anything out like that until after my first day but if they don't mind an email she'll be happy to send something to them right now. That was very nice of her to do.

We should hear something by Monday morning if we are approved or not. I hope we are. It's a 2 bedroom, 2 bath condo. Although the bedrooms are on the opposite sides of eachother. Being a mom of a 2 year old this worries me. I just worry I won't be able to hear him cry or if he tries to leave. But he has had multiple chances here to open the front door when he was up in the mornings and he never did so I know he'll be OK.

Everything is looking up for us. We should have a new home next week. I start my new job. We get our tax refund late next week and will use part of it to pay off one of our debts. How exciting is that?! We are thrilled.

Daddy is thinking he won't be finding a job anytime soon. He looked at his normal job posting sites today and none had any new job postings. The paper only had 8 jobs posted. Not good. It's looking like he's going to be a stay at home dad for awhile. Nothing wrong with that! I have been wondering if maybe he should go full time at Cabela's. But the pay won't compare to his regular full time job so it's something we'll have to think about.

But right now we don't need to worry about it and will enjoy Little Man getting Daddy time.
