We got approval on our townhouse!

I was walking to work today with my cellphone in hand, just in case I didn’t feel the vibro, my stomach all clenched and such.
You see, we’ve been having a hard time getting approval on housing, for various reasons, and I was afraid this one would end the same way.

SO, my phone rings (vibes) and I answer, and yes it is Debbie from the agency calling.

“Hello, Sean speaking”
“Hello, Sean, this is Debbie from *****. I tried getting a hold of you last friday regarding your application”
*clench* “yes, I got home too late, left a message with your service to call me”
“Yes, well i was handling your application process and I was calling to tell you that your application has been..”
at this point, I’m dying inside because she was so bland, dispassionate.. I thought she was steeling herself to let me down and therefore have to bear the brunt of my angst and sorrow. However…

“approved”

*GLEE!!!*

I was all like, “Thank you, you’ve made me so happy this morning!”

and she was all “oh, well, ok good.. you just need to come down to the office and finalize”, blah blah…

So, we have a place as of the 15th. Since we have our current place til the 30th, we have ample time to move stuff over in bits and peices.

I will surely miss the proxmity of my job, and everything that remains convenient about downtown (which is pretty much nil these days anyways), but my kids will have their own rooms, and they’ll be able to go outside and play with oither kids in a playground, etc!!! so so so happy.

Thanks to those who prayed and whateve else you all do for good fortune. I choose to believe it helped.
