We Are Worthy...

Monday June 16, 2008

My husband and I have been thinking about moving since we relocated from Oklahoma to Houston, Texas and the main reason is because I live so far away from where I work at the Space Center. I drive 62 miles one way to work and the reason for this is so crazy that it makes my head spin.

When I graduated college in July of 2006 and came down to my father in law's house in August to find a job in Houston, I didn't know I would be getting the job at the Space Center. By the time I had the job it was the middle of August and I had two weeks to find a place to live in the Houston area, get back to Oklahoma and pack the old house, and move everything, including my mother in law who was moving with us. The place we've been renting was available, affordable, and what I thought was a close enough distance to the Space Center. Did I think wrong... But you know, a person can only take so much, and rush through so many things, so I jumped on it and got my butt back to Oklahoma.

Fast forward to almost two years later, and I'm surprised I haven't run anyone off the road for insane stupidity. That's Houston drivers...they can't drive in rain, they can't drive in sunshine, they can't drive in fog, they can't drive in anything! Though I will take Houston over Dallas...but how many times can a person get cut off in one morning before they go absolutely batsh*t! And be given looks like they were the ones driving like a moron!

Anyway, we've been seriously considering moving ever since the second week we relocated and I received some very exciting and surprising news on my way to work this afternoon. We got pre-approval for a $110,000 FHA home loan! Now it's time to call my realtor friend and grab the properties I've been drooling over on the internet for the longest time and start home shopping! I'm so excited! I say surprising because I was worried about being approved because my husband's credit is non-existent and he's a self-employed truck driver. But worry I should have not, because obviously they think we are worthy! I can't wait to go look at some of these places! Wish us luck!
