stressed :-/

what else is new?! well the owner of the townhouse we looked at the other day never called back about the association approval. i guess that's okay, there most likely would have been an extensive background check needed, and i really sis not want to deal with all the cleaning and painting anyways. so another townhouse just came up for rent a couple days ago, and we went to see it last night. it looks like it's in a pretty good neighborhood, it's a good size and it's clean. the only thing that bothers me is that it has this funky green carpet on the stairway and in both rooms upstairs. it's a brand spanking new carpet, and it doesn't look bad, i'm just not a fan of green. lol. so matt really liked it, and we decided we wanted it. it's our best option so far. so we gave sheila (realtor) a check for the first month's down payment, and we're getting all the paperwork for credit checks, background checks and proof of income. apparently the owners are not too picky, because they know we have horrible credit and about the issue on matt's background and they told us to still go ahead with the application. which doesn't mean that the house is ours yet, but it's getting there. hopefully we don't go through all this trouble for nothing! i hate to get my hopes up for nothing. even though i'm still stressing about the rest of the down payment. we won't get the security deposit until we move out, and we can't move anywhere until we have the security deposit as a down payment. so we might end up having to put our stuff in storage until we get the deposit back, and then move into the new house. this is what happens when you don't prepare. UGH! and i've still got a ton of cleaning and laundry to do that i've been procrastinating on...

and because i like to end on a good note, lol... i passed my primerica final exam yesterday! today my mom is coming over to help me with the bonus questions, and i'll be scheduling my state exam later today. then i have to go get my fingerprints done and i'll get a check for $500!!! which will help with either bills, saving for the down payment, or paying back paula for the check last night... then i have to get more appointments to make more money honey!!!
