If you are on my FB friends list chances are you have already heard/seen the news that was posted late yesterday afternoon.
I left work and it was a great day, and by great I mean, I got to do arts and crafts for majority of my afternoon - they were work related and my boss was helping but it was a nice break from techincal reports, and back checking. I was in a good mood, picked my niece up from her afterschool program to go to baton and we were laughing and singing and acting like dorks in the car. We got to the dance place, went inside waited on the elevator (because the stairs give me virtego and I almost always fall down them - they are a horrible dark and light brown check pattern and everything runs together). We got on the Elevator and my phone rang.. My hands were full and I looked at my niece and went "SHIT!!" she thought we had to go back out so she turns to go back out the door and I am like "no no, my phone.. get my phone out of my purse and answer it, its mama." She looked at me and goes. "um ok crazy lady." She did it and gave me the phone, all my mom said was "I regret to inform you..." and my heart sank as she paused and then she continued with " that the sold sign will be going up on the house with in the next couple of days." I obviously called her an asshole, and then did a dance and jumped up and down in the elevator. Which was a terrible idea as I somehow tweaked a muscle in my neck/spine area so today I am a bit sore.
We get the keys on January 1st, which means a brand new year and a brand new start.
I talked to my brother and his gf yesterday they were telling me our current landlords are pissed because him and his gf didn't give 30 days notice, and I looked at him and said "Why would you? Half of us were staying here." and he got a perplexed look on his face and I said "well we are staying until January 1, we just bought a house and we don't get possession until Jan 1. So I will give notice on the first of Dec." He was happy for us and said it was about time. His girlfriend on the other hand said and I quote "You bought a house? How can you possibly afford to buy a house?" I looked at her and said "exactly the same way I can afford a newer truck, and to pay rent. I work damn hard for my money, I have a budget, and I also am almost 30 years old, it is time I kind of grew up a bit." and then they asked where we would be living, I told them where it is (like 2 blocks from where I am right now) and then she said "Oh you must have paid a lot for it, houses in this area aren't cheap, and if they are they need a lot of work." I said "not a lot, no more than I would have spent a couple of years ago (which translates to 258K0" and she goes "oh must need a lot of work" I said "no, move in ready actually, don't need to do anything at all." Her face just dropped.
I know why she was upset, they had a hard time even getting an apt. they went to the bank for a house loan and found out how terrible my brothers credit is - mine was actually clear and on the mend. I also found some really great info out before we signed out papers, the girl we got our line of credit through told us that because We (My brother Cordee and I)never changed our home address from my moms address our credit rating is stellar because we lived at the same address for 29 and 26 years - even though we were both out on our own since we were 17 and 18 years old, we just never changed the address because it was so much easier to have everything go to moms address rather than losing important mail if we moved. So let this be a lesson to anyone who is looking at a big purchase - less moving = better credit rating as it shows stability in your life.
Thats really about it, I do have pics of the house but they are full of the current owners possessions, they are on my FB if you would like to see them - they are not all the rooms but they are the ones that were on the realestate website.
