So we got all the way to the appraisal for the home loan but the bank came back with a list of repairs that had to be completed before they would put $ in hand. We can't repair something we don't own, this had made me reconsider the intelligence that I once thought people who work in a bank and control things like loan might actually have. So after a brief jaunt with trying to find another lender Jon decided to cut his losses and walk away. Needless to say we've refocused on selling his house first instead of trying to juggle two mortgages even with someone renting where we're living now.
The task of moving all my things to the house has proven to be a bit of a headache b/c his roommate Ron's fitness equipment and our rather large bike collection are taking up the majority of the third bedroom. I'm hoping that Ron can find someplace by the end of the month which will give us plenty of time to help him move out and get my stuff in. The funny thing is that many years ago I moved from Spartanburg to Mauldin to be closer to work and created quite a nice little niche for myself... I never thought I would migrate back toward where I left. But I have to say that there is nothing like sitting in the back yard and seeing all the stars or seeing the the mountains loom in front of me on the drive home. Not to mention Maddee is beside herself with a huge back yard to run around in.
The drive to and from Greenville 6 times a week sucks but I'd drive back and forth from the moon to be with Jon and I believe that the house situation falling through is a blessing in disguise. That is the thing that mandy times can be hard about faith, I can't know what will happen when or why I can't just get what I want when I want it. God is just telling me, "I have something better in mind, but you'll get it in My time, not yours."
