 How am I?      I think that sums me up  1. Yes moving forward quickly on a loan. Just waiting for a approval for FHA or otherwise we go conventional. I want FHA because the payments will be lower than conventional, but just have to wait and see. I will get out of the lease  If they want to hit me with penalities I'm going to tell them to sue me and take it to a jury trial. NO jury here will side with the complex after everything that has happened here. 2. I plan to find a house I like, but it will not be my dream home  Right now my goal is to find something with land (5-10 acres) with a 3 bedroom, 2 bath home, that I can afford. Hopefully the cheaper the better because then I can either make improvements or pay it off quicker and then build/rebuild what I want.3. Slowly getting back into it. If I hit the gym atleast once a week I am ahead of the game Hope all is well with you. |

Thank you so much Arch!!! I am majorly stressed outmover everything, however amazingly work is going very, very well. Boss is calm, happy and has given me multiple compliments about how good a job I am doing as office manager. Clients have even commented to him about how good a job I am doing. Boss has even relaxed to the point and trusts me to the point he has even handed over placing supply/drug orders completely to me
 when previously he had to approve every order prior to it being placed. I got a call about a property today that I thought may be promising, however when the owner of the place said, "I'm not sure you will be interested in this place after I tell you about it." I began to worry. Turns out the place gives new meaning to fix it upper and made the Jeff Foxworthy special I looked at yesterday look good. So the search continues....I got in a little workout this evening after work. I went to the farm to exercise my horse and ended up literally jogging with her a few times. The last time was an easy 1/8 to 1/4 mile jog to her field. Never thought I would end up jogging with my horse like some people jog with their dogs, but it worked |

Ohh good news.....I've graduated from no hot water to NO WATER AT ALL   Sorry all, I've got to laugh about it now or I'm going to loose it. Apparently the water that has been running out from the under the ground floor apartment on the other side of my building was the indication that a pipe had broke under that side of my building. The water was running out when I came home at 7pm-ish and who knows how long it had been running prior to me getting home. Maintance finally came out around 9 pm after being called at 8:30 and declared we had a broken pipe. They shut off the water to my entire building and said we probably would not have water until tomorrow sometime. Ohh and the woman who lives in the ground floor apartment...well maintance told her she may have water damage to her apartment. If the complex isn't repairing fire damage they are repairing water damage |

Sorry all just a breezing through here. I'm about to leave work, but wanted to say HI and that I'm still alive, no fires. Water is back running or it was still this morning, but no land line for the phone now
Apparently someone cut the underground fiber cable for the phones. Wonder who did that  Ohh most likely the ding bats that are tearing the building down next to mine  Well I'm off to see my horse and what awaits me at home.... |

Well so far things are quiet at my complex. Water still running, water is hot, and phone line is still working. Work is now crazy as the busy season has decended on us and our new vet while picking up alot of work which makes the day a bit shorter is dropping the ball on way too many things which is causing lots of stress. I'm still house hunting. I went with my realtor today to look at two properties and the one I had high hopes of is now off my list
It was just about perfect. Right in my price range, 3 bedrooms, 5 acres, cleared land, fenced (would have had to switch out the barb wire for horesy safe fence, but the fence posts were all there). Problem the ad said "needs someone to add the finishing touches to make it a doll house." Translation....gut the inside or better yet just demo the house The second property is now at the top of my list. House is nice, no apparent work needs to be done to it, 5 acres. Problems...the list price is just over my price limit and land is only partially cleared (maybe an acre total is clear) and none of it is fenced. So the search continues..... |

Hey all....I'm still around. Been busy with work and not feeling well. So far things are still quiet at my complex, but the end of the month is approaching and we no longer have security at night
On the good news side...I got a call today saying my mortgage has been approved I can officially make an offer on a place.  Bad news...haven't found a place to make an offer on and I'm down to about 5 weeks before I have to move To say I'm stressed is a huge understatement. Well I'm off to get some rest |

Ughh I'm still on the great house hunt and not having much luck. My biggest road block is finding a place in my price range that FHA will approve. My agent has been great. Both of us are searching online and while I do drive bys, he gets details I either can't and makes calls to get specifics from the listing agents. Between the two of us we narrow down which listings for which ones to get showings on.
With not having luck on finding a home, I'm getting very discouraged and depressed. It doesn't help that security is no longer patrolling our complex so my stress at home is back. On friday morning I awoke to the smell of smoke coming in my sliding door and I panic'd. I looked out the slider and didn't see anything, but then I was cared to death to approach my front door for fear there would be flames outside it. Thankfully there wasn't and I wasn't able to locate the source of the smoke smell even after walking around outside. Regardless, I was completely freaked out and even more determined to find a home quickly. In other news, the weather here is gorgeous, sunny, in the 80's. I have been putting off starting my seeds for a garden in hopes I would be moving soon. However, it was just too warm today to put it off any longer so I planted seeds for flowers, rosemary, basil, roma tomatoes, beefsteak tomatoes, chili peppers and a hot pepper. I truely hope I will be moving into a house before the seedlings need to be transplanted. |

I haven't been around much because I have been checking out houses/farms after work. Plus I have been getting out of work late because we have finally hit our busy season. So far I still haven't had much luck on finding a home with land. My two biggest obsticals are my budget and getting the home FHA approved. The FHA approval seems to be a bigger obstical than my budget. I looked at one home that has potential, but it's at the top my my price range, a bit further away from work than I would like, and a bit less land than I would like, however the inside of the home is beautiful. I have 3 more homes on my list that my realtor is going to investigate for me tomorrow. All three are well within my price range (actually the mortgage payment would be about the same as I pay for rent now) , but none have enough land for a horse However all three are close to work and atleast one has a great yard for my dogs In other news, my complex went without hot water agan this week. Heard it was due to the gas being cut off by the gas company and most likely due to non payment. I also heard that the complex is not offering to renew leases for more than 6 months at a time because they are reportedly planning to tear the buildings down and build condos instead. As for work...as I said we are now into our busy season, but it is going well. My boss has complimented me multiple times on how great a job I am doing. My boss is more relaxed and he is talking instead of closing down. The lines of communication have really opened up at work and it has made a huge difference all around |

 It is a mess, but I'm somehow dealing with it all without jumping off the deep end. Thanks Arch, there are days I feel like I wil never suceed and then there are days when I feel like everything is falling right into place. Today was a day that nothing was falling into place and it was crazy all day. I am wiped out and looking forward to a good nights sleep. Ok it's not helping that my horse had a reaction to a vaccination so she is not feeling well and I have had to treat her after work which she is not thrilled about. Apparently she gets very grumpy when she feels yucky and she becomes a difficult child to work with. Ahh life with kids...isn't it wonderful |

Well after weeks and weeks of searching, I believe I have found a home.
It's right in my price range, it's well maintained, while it doesn't have enough land for a horse, it has a decent yard and it is close to work. It's also close to shopping (very close to Lowe's ) and only about 20 minutes from the gym. O top of everything else...it's vacant and ready to move in It has so many perks, the biggest being it is an affordable, cute, well maintained first home. I hope to submit a contract with an offer tomorrow morning  If everything goes ok, I hope to close by the end of the month. |
