We're having housing issues. What else is new? We need to move by July 1st, and we don't even know where we are going yet. We found the most beautiful, perfect condo last night, but an older couple put in an application as well. I really feel like they will choose the other people over us because we are young and Will has the d*** foreclosure on his record (even though I have good credit and we have a fairly high income). The property management company said that it wouldn't be a problem, but the decision is up to the owner, and if these other people look better on paper, we're screwed. We should have an answer hopefully later today, but maybe Monday. I can't wait- I am NOT patient when it comes to this. I need to know NOW so I know when I need to have everything packed and ready to go. I'm sitting here crying because I hate feeling so vulnerable. I couldn't sleep at all last night, I just tossed and turned, my mind racing. I almost got into TWO accidents today because I am such a space cadet in my head.

I need to find a new home for my dog My heart is breaking. I don't know who will take her, she is a big lab mix who isn't very pretty or cute. I love her so much and the guilt is eating me alive. I had to buy her dog food today and I realized that it was probably the last thing I would ever buy for her and I started crying in the middle of the store.

I am praying, so selfishly, to God that we get this condo. It sounds so dumb, but we have been looking so long and so hard, and opportunities keep slipping through our fingers. We don't have any more time. It's real now. I'm looking around my beautiful little home, my first house, the house that Will and i came home to after we were married, the house that we watched be built for us, the home that we brought our son to.....and we're losing it. I know that its just a house, and its not was really matters, but my God, it HURTS.

Its all I can do to contain myself from calling the property mangagment company and BEGGING them. To offer them more money. To offer them ANYTHING. Anything for a sense of normalcy and solidity right now.

I'm so sorry you're going through this and I can't imagine what it feels like to have to give up your dog. If I were closer I'd tell DH we were taking her so you wouldn't have to worry. I'm sure you will find her a wonderful home..and a great place for you guys as well. God does answer prayers and I'm adding you to mine

[~* Helen *~]

Oh hun, I'm so sorry you are having to deal with this

[bittersweet]

Oh Bre, I'm so sorry you have to go through all this. Moving stinks big time, even when it is planned and organized. I really hope you do get that condo. But if not, you can always put extra stuff in storage and rent month to month in an apt until you find something you like. Not ideal, but it would buy you more time.

[~*Bethy*~]

Im so sorry Bre!!! I know you cant see it yet but you will get through this - you are strong and outgoing! i totally understand that house holding the memories and stuff, but like you said its just a house...you can create more memories somewhere else Hang in there hun

[.Brandi.]

Bre, you and I are so much alike in situations like this!! We both stress over things we can't control. I know how you feel about being vulnerable. I know this isn't much, but Will only has the foreclosure. We need to find a new home in February (when our lease is up) because we are simply out growing this townhouse. But I dread it because Chris has a felony and I know that we're going to have a difficult time finding another place to live because of it!!! I could kick him for it too!!! UGH!!! And you have such a short time!!! I know exactly how that feels because I had to do it when Chris got arrested 3 years ago. He got arrested on July 10th and I had to be out by August 1st. So I know how you feel. I wasn't expecting it because we were planning to resign a lease with the apartment complex. But he got arrested and I had to BEG them not to evict me because of him!!!! Edward was about to turn one, I had nowhere to go and I didn't have a job because I was a SAHM at then so I couldn't just go and rent another apartment. I had to live with my parents for 5 months....the worst 5 months of my life!!!! I wish we lived closer because I would help you in any way I could. And I would LOVE to keep Jayla for you!!! I know how that feels too. When Chris got arrested, I had to give our dog back to the breeder because my parents wouldn't let me keep him. It broke my heart and I cried for days!!! Even, now, I feel guilty....and it doesn't help that Chris will say "You gave my dog away!" I wouldn't have had to if he wasn't such a dumba**!!! I know exactly what you're going through Hun!!! Just the terms are different. So I'll be praying for you as well, I don't know if you'll be renting, but if it helps, maybe you could check out this website, Rentals.com - Homes for Rent, Apartments, Houses for Rent, Vacation Rental Homes and you can search the area you're looking to live and maybe you can find something just as a back up to the condo. I don't know how much help that will be. BIG HUGS!!! You're not alone!!

P.S. This is the first time I've opened up about Chris' felony and his arrest since it happened. He just got off of probation this past April...it was HELL!!! I feel like I"VE paid for it more than he did and I didn't even commit the crime!!!

I'm a firm believer in everything happening for a reason, it's always so hard to see when we are in the middle of the crap but there's always something that happens later that makes it all make sense.

That being said, maybe this condo is the reason you didn't get that other one? Maybe this one is better for you guys in some way and you will get it. **HUGS** You and your family are in my thoughts.

Breanna, I am hoping against hope that you hear some good news soon. You and Will really don't deserve so much stress and you've been through so much with this house that I just feel something good will be coming your way soon. I think that Brandi had a great point about not trying to control things you can't. You can only do your best and keep yourself open to all opportunities as they come. Good luck, honey. If I was close to you I'd give you a real hug, but these ones will have to suffice.

[**Jenn**]

I'm so sorry you have to go through all this Breanna. I wish I had some great words of wisdome/advice for you but I don't. All I can offer are some great big cyber *HUGS*. I hope everything works out quickly and you can stop stressing so much.

[♥Ashley♥]

Wow Breanna. I am so so sorry that you are going through this right now I have no advice but we are all here for you and i hope you know that. Do you want me to call the property management company and beg them for you? I will! I really really hope you get this condo. I remember that there was one a little while back that you really wanted but couldnt get.

[~Jess~]

Oh no, Bre, I'm so sorry! I'll be praying for you, hopefully you'll get the condo and it'll all be settled shortly.

p.s. just ignore my post in Sept. PR.

[midnight_starr]

Oh hon I'm sorry you are going through this.. I hope everything works out and you guys get the condo!! I will be keeping ya'll in my thoughts!!

[Resi]

I hope you hear something very soon. Did they give you a time frame about getting back to you? Everything will turn out okay. I'm sorry you are having a hard time with everything but I'm thinking of you. Lots of hugs.

[soImarriedAnerd]

I wish I could do more.

[KellyJ009]

I wish there was something else to say or do, but lots of and thoughts and prayers for some good news soon! Wish I lived closer and I could take your dog...she seems so sweet and so good with Reid. Is it because of the condo's policy that you have to find a new home for her?

[Mod-LadyCoconut]

I'm sorry... it's scary not knowing where you'll be in a couple weeks. I hope you hear from the condo owners tonight.

[Kristen_at_the_lake]

Breanna, I'm so sorry that you're hanging out in the air on this right now. I will be keeping you in my prayers. Just want to send you *hugs* and good thoughts.

[chellerenee]

I'm so sorry you are dealing with so much right now. I don't have any advice since I've never been in that type of situation, but I really hope everything works out for you and Will soon. Crossing my fingers that you get the condo!

[Mars]

Oh Bre, I'm so sorry about all your going through. I really hope that something works out very soon.

[ANGWife]

I would be a wreck as well. Moving is hard enough, but then with added stress of you may not know where you're going. Give Reid lots of kisses, maybe that will help!
