NEW HOUSE!?!

So we started off looking for a house to rent because as you know we have keiko and I really dont want to have to deal with her in an apartment it would be too much of a pain on those nights when todd has to close at midnight. so we started looking and looking and looking and couldnt find anything for less than $1,000 a month so we started doing the math and found out that it would cost us less than $1,000 a month to buy a good size home, yes that's right BUY! so as you can imagine I was thrilled that I would have my very own home!! We called a realtor and she started the process as to looking at houses then she tells us the bad news that we have to get preapproved before we even actually look at a house IN PERSON! ok so this will be easy just go talk to a bank and get preapproved I mean they do it online nowadays.... the problem is that the majority of his pay is 15% of what the store makes and THEY (the bank) considers it a bonus so they dont consider it at all .... so now I dont know what we are going to do... we need to have a house in about two weeks... we need a miracle... god please...pray for us....

Love,
Jesse

Hi my name is Jessica but all my friends call me Jesse and Im married to one of the best men in the world his name is Todd and this is our first blog. I am doing this for all my friends and family back home in memphis so they can keep in touch and know what's going on in our lives as we move and go through this transition to husband and wife, lol, hmmmm... We currently live in the southeast region of Kansas and are currently looking for houses just a little north of Kansas city, Mo. I am a certified dental assistant and my husband is a GM for a restaurant. I will be new to the area because I am originally from the Memphis Tn area and my husband will not be, he is originally from the southeast kansas area. I love to collect precious moments (hint the name of the blog,lol). We love to hang out with our wonderful friends and family. we are firm believers in god and will be going to a wonderful church when we get up in kansas city. My husband is methodist and I baptist so we will see what we can find, lol. My family is all located in the memphis area and his is scattered everywhere but no matter where they are we still love them all. They have been very very supportive of us throughout this hard time we have had. See we got married in May of 08 and by June we were moved in with his parents. My husband had to finish his schooling so he could get a better job and get us a home. He was going to school to be a Park Ranger and well about the time he got out of school is about the time the economy really started to plunge for the bottoms. All the states that we were looking to move decided they were going to have a hiring freeze, which that meant my husband couldnt find a job.Then he got this job through a very good friend and now he is staying up in kansas city with a very good friend and Im still with the in-laws as we ask the great question....buy or rent??

Love and God Bless,
