I haven't written in a while. Part of this, is because ever since I graduated, I have been trying to find my footing in life. For the last three years, I have been on a set schedule. So many nights at school and the other nights doing homework or studying. And, then, weekends would be packed with family or working football, wrestling or basketball games (okay, I only worked two basketball game, but still) and so I didn't really have time to sit around and do nothing. Then, all of the sudden, there was all of this free time and all I could do was sit around and do nothing. That has gotten old. I have a huge to-do list for around my house, but who wants to do that?!? I'll get it all figured out. I usually do. Ha!
If you saw my Facebook posts over the month of September, you know that I was diagnosed with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) back in March. There is so much that goes along with that and it explains so much about me. It is really nice to have a name for a majority of my issues. Now, we are just dealing with it. In a nut shell, there are cysts on my ovaries that cause irregular menstrual cycles that could lead to cancer later. There is a lot more to that, but that is for a different post.
If you have been around me in the last three years, you know that we have attempted to sell our Midwest City home off and on since Eric's grandma passed away. We've had renters, but really aren't in the position to be landlords at this point in our life. Unfortunately for us, the downturn in real estate hit this neighborhood hard. They are small, older homes and so many in the neighborhood are in disrepair. It is also a high rental area so investors want to pay little to nothing. The point is that we are underwater on that mortgage. We decided to drop the price drastically and apply for a short sale. The problem was we didn't have an offer. No interest at all in fact before last week. Last week, we received two offers. The first fell through because we don't have the money to remove a tree and do some other repairs. The other, who happens to be the current neighbor, had spoken to Eric and didn't ask for repair costs. We have submitted the offer to the bank and are now waiting for word from them. Prayers for that to happen quickly would be greatly appreciated.
I think that covers the finer points of things right now. I really hope to start posting more often. Of course, that would require something to say! Ha!
