Though we "as the individuals known henceforth as Paul Edward and Jessica Joyce Mays Caspers" were "approved" for our loan, FHA refused to sign off on it for a lack of comparable sales in the area. After much "we might be able to work something out" on Wednesday afternoon we just said we're done. So we are waiting on our declination letter to get our earnest money back on the first house, but for all practical purposes that is OVER! We are both excited to be done with a five month long process that resulted in nothing but frustration. We did learn a lot of valuable lessons and we know that the Lord's sovereign wisdom will always win out for us. So that chapter is closed and new one has opened! We met with a real estate agent on Wednesday night who is familiar with the area and related to some people from our church and she will be helping us from now on. We like her very much and I think she's really going to be on the ball to get us a house. She found a bank for us and today I spoke with the loan officer about prequalification so hopefully that is going as well. We have a number of deadlines working on us now: our lot lease will expire in May, the tax credit for first time homebuyers ends in April, and baby more Caspers will be here this summer. Please pray that this process will go smoothly and we can have some housing answers soon.
Yes, in the middle of this we also found out that we have a healthy baby boy!!
I can't believe I'm getting yet another man in my life
