Answered Prayers!!!

This month has been a pretty stressful one for us!  For the past 3 weeks, our selling and buying of a new home, has been in limbo and it has sucked....to say the least.  The whole month of April, we were sweating bullets thinking that our current home wasn't going to appraise at the $142,000 that the buyer was needing it to be.  We worked our butts off making this house pristine and trying to do that w/ 2 little boys running around was HARD!!!  However, all that hard work paid off, because the appraisal came back in our favor.....we thought we were in the clear!  Boy were we wrong!!!!  We did all of our pre-approval stuff while we were waiting for the appraisal on this house, so that process would be taken care of and when those papers came back we knew we were ready to go!!!Then all of that came to a crashing halt when the appraisal on the new house didn't come in where the seller needed it to be....we were so confused by it though, because everything we had been told from professionals that know better, told us that there would be no problem with the appraisal.....well, everyone was surprised when Huntington didn't come back where it needed to be.  That has been 2 weeks of our lives and we had no idea what to do, b/c that appraisal stands for 6 months!!!  Holy Cow, now what????  Well, we tried to fight it, because we found out that there was a "conflict of interest" and we could be granted another apprasial....negative thing, we didn't have time!  That was last Thursday and we close on this house Tuesday!!!  We didn't have 3 weeks to to go through the chains of command at Huntington to get the current appraisel thrown out, then to complete a whole new one.....OMG, we were sweating it; however, thanks to our realtor and Brenton knowing some pretty powerful men who work in this town from his country club gig on the weekends....we got another loan through another bank, completely bypassing Huntington!!!  WOW, we finally can say we have a home to go to and get going on packing up this one.  3 weeks have been lost of work that could've been done, so now we are scrambling to get everything packed and ready to go, so when we get back from vacation we are ready to move.  We were so hoping to have a peaceful move, but I'm learning that in our life, nothing is ever that easy.  It has all worked out, so we are thankful there, but boy it's been so stressful.  I can't wait to get this move behind us, so we can start making a new home in Gnaden with our boys.  Life is going to get simplier, we will be able to have a sense of community, and grow with our boys in a place that we have loved for awhile now.  So, glad we are able to move forward now and that our prayers were answered!!!! 

He is so ready to move!!!
