Long time no write

So I must confess. I have been cheating. I got a myspace. I like it so much better, I can design my page and stuff, so I haven't been blogging on this one in a very veryyyyy long time.
The baby is doing great. I am 34weeks and cannot wait to be done with it. We are living with my mom and dad right now trying to pay off as much debt as possible before the baby comes. Chris is trying to get a part time job at UPS, it is pretty hard to get in so he's just been calling several times a week to bother them. I found out that my short term disability doesn't start until November so my maternity leave is not covered. Chris doesn't want me to go back after the baby is born, but I am scared that we wouldn't have enough money to survive. I am trying to trust what Chris thinks and I know that God will make a way somehow.... We have been looking for a small house. We can't afford much, but some of the houses that we have looked at would be the same as paying rent and we want to be able to get the loan before I have to leave Walmart. (Better interest rate, etc.) If anyone sees anything let me know. We have been looking for something really small. In fact, I don't care how little it is just as long as it doesn't need a lot of work. We just found one that we thought was PERFECT, but it says that Sale is Pending and I figured that we wouldn't be able to get ahold of anyone over the fourth to try to put in a bid anyway. We can't really go over $75,000. I know that sounds miniscule, but that is really all we can afford and believe it or not there are actually houses out there for around that price. Usually, we find houses that are a little above that range, but for the most part we are hoping to talk the seller down if we put in a bid. We were working with a real estate agent, but he was so pushy that we never got back ahold of him. He kept telling us that we couldn't bid under because someone would come along and bid over us and blah blah blah. I understood what he was saying, but the truth is. If the house is not in our budget than it is not the house for us to begin with and if someone out bids us than God didn't want us to get that house anyway. We'll get the house that we are supposed to get and we won't have to completely strap ourselves to do it. I couldn't seem to explain that to him so Chris and I just backed away and quit looking for a while. I don't have address' for everyone, but my shower is July 21st at 1 o'clock at North Baltimore public Library. Everyone is welcome. Hopefully, you guys read this. I know I am a pathetic blogger now....

    Hi Melody!! It is so great to see you again (I do wander over to MySpace occasionally, but I get lost pretty easily :))
    I am sorry about your house woes. Seems like everyone I talk to is either trying to buy or sell a house and having difficulty. Don't forget that Scott is a Realtor now if you need help.
    I am giving my sister-in-law-to-be a Bridal Shower on July 21st too, so I won't be in the area, but I am thinking of you!
