Money...ugh!!!

Textbooks are ridiculous these days and since we are in the middle of escrow I can't use a student loan this semester and I really thought I was going to have to miss this semester. Brandon kept telling me that maybe it was for the best since we will be moving in the middle of the term and that way I'm not trying to study for midterms and unpack. After tons of pros and cons lists and prayer I decided to make it work and my lovely hero of a mother saved the day and is fronting me the money till next month after closing! So boo to textbooks and yeah to mom's who understand the value of education!

turning the corner

We are six weeks out now from our offer being accepted and I FINALLY feel like the ball is rolling. There has been a few snags and a couple weeks of limbo, but the paperwork is with underwriter and we are 4 weeks out from closing!

It just sucks knowing we could have already been done if there wasn't drama, but that's life and everything else went so quickly something had to explode.

All in all we can see the finish line, we are 3/4th around the track and the last 100 meters should be a straight dash to the end.

Doggie dilemma

Romo decided he isn't into kids so much so the adoption specialist suggested Screech. All I know is that he is 5 years old and a Hurricane Katrina survivor. We will be happy with any dog that is the perfect fit for our family. Here is the picture they sent me of Screech



The boys said he looked kinda sad, I told them it's because he wants a forever home

Best gift E-V-E-R!

Brandon gave me the go ahead today to apply for Romo. If you don't know who Romo is, read up on him here

The lady who will go over our application is on vacation for a few more days, but that is okay since we can't even think about getting him until we move. Good ole' Navy housing doesn't allow pets.

Romo lives at Dog Town in Utah and we will pick him up after Brandon's party in Vegas (thanks Milie for the great plan) that is if we are approved. They first have to come and check out the house and make sure that there is a yard and room for him.

I'm SO excited it's been a long five months since I first saw his face and fell in love. I was for sure that he would be adopted by now, but like I said it's fate!
