dex, I'm glad to hear that things went through with the loan. And I am sorry that it didn't end up leaving you quite where you wanted to be. But try to think of this as just a step, not the final destination. After all, it wasn't that long ago that you weren't able to pay your mortgage, and you had no job at all. I know how hard it is when money is really tight, but it won't be that way forever.
You've come so far...be proud of that. I know I'm proud for you.
*hugs*
Jo
