So.... who knew buying a house was such a pain. I haven't officially been told no but I haven't been told yes.

The drama all began to unfold last Thursday. I was pre-approved but after seeing my income from 2011 to 2012 dropping they started to back off. I have a medical condition that is documented and I receive family medical leave for it. Most of it is unpaid unless I have vacation or personal time available. My condition is worse when I get stressed out. So imagine how I felt after getting the email last Thursday that in order to use my bonus and overtime on my checks and in my income I need to have Verizon sign this form saying they are "likely to continue". Verizon will not sign anything and this has made it difficult.

I talked to a friend who just bought a house last year and I she referred me to her mortgage company. I haven't gotten a definite answer but seeing I am supposed to close next week this is not looking good. What angers me is that the first mortgage company had all my paperwork prior to me completing any offer. So in the end if nothing goes through I am out $665 dollars.

The second guy said I will know tomorrow and hopefully it is good news. The first one said things were not looking so good.

So I sit and wait to find out what will happen. If I don't get it I don't know what I will do......
