Short, but sad, update

So it turns out that we were teased in thinking we were going to get our house so soon. The bank wanted 20% down when originally they told us 10%, so we didn't have enough money to put down. So, we lost the house. However, we are thinking positive and trying to find another way to get a house.

We will try in October to qualify again. If we don't, then we need to wait until next year to see if we qualify for anything. We hope in both scenarios that we won't have to put more than 10% down. We don't want to put more down than that! We'll be wiped out! If we don't qualify next year then we'll have to figure out another strategy...ugh. It's a lot more frustrating getting a house than I thought. Oh well. Just gotta keep on truckin!

On a more interesting note...Dave and I are going to be running the Las Vegas Marathon on December 6th! At least, that's the plan. For those of you who don't know how long a marathon is, it's 26.2 miles. That's crazy people! You are supposed to train at least 16 weeks for the marathon cause it's so crazy freakin hard. The first time we ran was last night, so we started a bit late (we have 9 weeks left), so hopefully we won't die come the race. Our goal is to just say we did one. Hopefully we won't have to walk any of it, but who knows! Danielle has been running a bit too, so we are trying to convince her to run with us. YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO DANIELLE!!! =)

Sorry still no pictures...I've just been trying to get caught up in school (of course I'm already behind, but only in what I'm supposed to have read by now). Hopefully soon. Until then...

Oh!!! Also, I changed the settings, so anyone can comment!!! I know you all have been wanting to, but didn't realize you couldn't! haha. Just an FYI.
