all i am asking right now is that God's will be done. we have done what we can as far as applying for our mortgage...the rest is up to (not us). the one fear we had all along is on the track to becoming a reality...our old house in CO. many of you probably know we once upon a time owned a condo in CO. when we moved home we tried renting it - very unsuccessfully - and over a year later ended up filing for a deed in leiu. we were under the impression that going that route would protect us in the future from ever running into any issues getting a new mortgage, car loan, etc...well that was all before the economy went down hill and bad mortgages started popping up all over the country and everyone in the midwest went into foreclosure! now things are being looked at through a different eye and unfortunately it may be affecting us.
apparently 3 years need to pass between the time of foreclosure (no matter what kind) and the time you apply for a new mortgage....well we wont hit 3 years until october of this year. so we just wait and see. countrywide (the old mortgage company) is faxing some info to the new bank, it should be there by tuesday...so we'll see. if its meant to be it will be, i guess...otherwise beth will just refinance to take advantage of these great rates...we will continue to pay off the rest of our debts and maybe in 2 or 3 years we will try this all over again. by then our cars will be paid off so we wont have any debt against us, which will be just one more step in the right direction i guess.
so say a little prayer...
on a good note, it was gorgeous here today!! while the kids were napping, i did some office work and then laid out on the swing and closed my eyes in the warmth of the sunshine for a bit! it was awesome! then once everyone was awake we took a nice long wagon walk....i love the sight of all three boys sitting snuggly in their radio flyer wagon together! the 3 of them are so cute together when they dont have room to argue! but they spent the walk pointing out birds and talking to a doggie that was several yards ahead of us. i am so happy that spring is on its way! it is giving a new sense to my motherhood. going for walks is the first thing i have felt comfortable doing out of the house with all 3 kids by myself. maybe by mid summer ill even be able to take them to the store by myself occassionally!
love to all, have a great weekend!
