Speaking of starting fresh

As 2011 came to a close I was so ready to ring in the new year! i was full of hope that 2012 would be my year! Joey & I had just moved into a house that we were going to rent for about a year and then start the process of trying to buy a house. We moved in in October. First week of January, i get a facebook message (not even the courtesy of a phone call) that the house was going into foreclosure. i'm not going into details, but fact of the matter is, we got screwed over. in the worst way. So Joey and I have currently started the process of getting a house. However, we have a few things that need to be worked on on our credit, but we are well on our way and extremely close! Hopefully in just a couple of months we will be where we need to be to get a loan! In the mean time, lets just hope we don't get a note on our front door telling us we have to vacate immediately! :/

I'm actually quite proud of myself. I suffer from severe anxiety and despite the physical pain and emotional breakdowns I have had, I'm actually handling this quite well. I have managed to keep my spirits up for the most part. I owe most of that to Joey. His reassurance that everything will be okay comforts me in the best way. With everything negative going on, it warms my heart to know Joey and I will get through this together and come out stronger on the other side. 

Even thought the situation is horrible, I guess to be a little more positive I could look at the situation as we are completely starting fresh. Whatever house we end up in will be our own forever. The worst part is not knowing how long before we will be forced to leave, so hopefully we can get everything situated and leave on our own terms. I have faith everything will work out for the better! 

Here's to another year..
