Well, we are supposed to hear from the mortgage company this morning to see whether or not we are approved for the home loan.

My FIL is still in the hospital. The plan is still for us to buy a house with room for him. We found one that we think would be perfect, we're just waiting to hear about the loan.

I'm so nervous! Please pray for us!!!! Thanks!!
 
Kristy~

I pray that God makes your path to take CLEAR to you and DH!
I hope that this is in His plan and that it all works out smoothly...keep us posted!
 
Good Luck Kristy!! Buying a home is on the Top 5 Most Stressful things in a marriage!! We've had our house for 5 years, and let me tell you, when we were in the process of buying it, it was SOOOO stressful!! I will definately be praying that it works out!
 
Prayers coming your way!!
 
More prayers coming your way. Please keep us updated!
 
Kristy - if it was meant to be it will happen, if not, remember God still has a plan for you and His ways are better than ours even though we don't see them while in the midst of them.Praying that you have peace and strength for whatever comes your way today! Keep us posted!
 
Waiting is the toughest part, when you want to know something NOW!! I will be praying that God's Will will be done for you and your family. I hope your FIL continues to improve. :) :)

Well, the mortgage company that was supposed to call by 10am FINALLY called at 5pm!! We have been approved for the loan!!!!! Now we have to get with the realtor and make an offer (all before we leave on vacation on Monday!). Dan's dad was not doing well at all today. Now we are wondering what we should do because we aren't sure that he will actually be able to live with us! I'm just praying that God will work it all out and we will know whether or not my FIL is supposed to live with us!

Thanks for praying!!!!
 
One step out of the way...praying that the rest falls into place.
 
Congratulations on being approved!!

Getting a new home, while stressful, is also soooo very exciting!!

I hope it all works out soon for all of you!

Exactly! It is possible that he is too ill for us to take care of him. We're hoping that tonight he was just having a reaction to the medicine or having blood sugar issues. He just needs to get well!!!
 
Congrats on getting approved for the loan! Praying that your FIL gets better soon!
 
Good luck to you and I pray your fil gets better.
 
Congrats on the loan! And how agonizing was it all day to wait?? I would have called them! They have no idea what people go thru waiting!

Hope your FIL is better today...

We actually called at 11am and the lady said, "I'm with a customer, I'll call you right back!" 6 hours later . . . . .

Oh well. At least we know now!
 
That sounds like us trying to close on our house. We were constantly having to call & get updates from everyone. No one called us like they said they would. We were moving into our house the day they called us to come & sign the paper work. Our builder trusted us & knew it would all happen. It was very stressful!!
