Oh but, Brigie sis-in-law dear, I am the youngest. No one here would ever dispute that....would they anyone!?!?!?! ROFL In fact, I had my first child (of five children) at age 6 months, he was 18, as of last month......that would make me what???? LOL ------------------

Today we will know, either way, if it is meant to be, or not to be...... so far everything has fallen into place.....just this one "little" detail........ I could not sleep last night......when I finally did sleep, I woke up, tossed and turned and then finally got up very early........ Today is the day........please let it be the "Best day, of the rest of my life".... ------------------

Thank you all, every one of you.......I've been envisioning the house in my mind, all week.....I even have my furniture placed in all the rooms. I've been thinkning so positive, my brain is starting to give off smoke signals. ------------------

They are all so far behind, they only think they are ahead!!! LOL ------------------

Someday your house will come......... ------------------

Ed, you could not have said it better!!! I agree wholeheartedly!! ------------------

I am so down right now. I have done everything that I can to make this house deal work. I have packed up half my house. I can picture myself in my new home. Everything else is falling into place. I have a buyer for this one I own now, her bank has given her the okay. The people who we are buying from accepted our first offer, and liked us enough to decline another and also throw in some extras. But... my past haunts me. A stupid mistake that I made, just after my first husband passed away almost 11 years ago, has come back to haunt me. I got involved with someone who ruined my credit. On Friday, I get good news, my credit is not as bad as I thought, turns out I have nothing against me. Hurray!!! But then today comes. The one bank turned our loan application down flat, and the reason they gave made sense to a point. She said that we'd probably find the same with most banks. The other bank is still working on it, but it is starting to not look too good. This is the one we've been dealing with since the start. They have been so good, but they have to send it in to where I live now, for approval. Because of several late $1000.00 payments over a few years, they are not feeling hopeful. But I did make those payments in the month that they were due. I worked my butt off to always never go into the next month of being late. But that is not good enough apparently. So.......I wait another day......the house growing dimmer by the hour....I am so sad. Everything else was falling into place. Everything!!! How can this happen?!!?? I believe, that if it is meant to be, it will. So far all things have gone right ...everything. Except... this one detail. If I can pay a $1000.00 month mortgage now, on the house I currently own, then I should easiely be able to pay the $450 - $550, that I will have to pay there. How can the bank not see that??? They can but, they are taking my past into considereration. Due to my DH's condition and his unstable income, my lack of current employment there, even though I have a job here, and know that they are hiring desperately there, in the same line of work. They are having a hard time accepting my application. ------------------
