Crazy, Crazy, Crazy Stuff!

Life is about to get a little crazy. At the beginning of the week it seemed as though things were going well...a little too well. We both had that thought on Wednesday morning and sure enough something not so good happened. Joe came home on Wednesday to a letter taped on our front door. The letter stated that the house we live in has been foreclosed and that we needed to call the realtor in order to arrange "cash for keys". What? Crazy! For some of you that do not know...we rent a house through a realtor here in Clarksville. The owner has an agreement with them, we pay the realtor and they pay the owner. Evidently the owner has not been responsible with their money- I mean our money (which is very frustrating). The bank wants us out of this house by the 2nd of Feb. in order to receive a cash settlement. Basically the foreclosure makes our lease void. Joe is busy today trying to figure out our options as well as our rights. We are a bit stressed as we thought our lease would be up March 31st. We began the house hunting process and found "the one" on Monday. We actually put a contract down on it last night and are waiting to hear back from the builder. The downside to this house is that we have to wait for it to be built. It is planned be finished April 30th. So we can't move in right away and we have to leave here right away...crazy! Joe checked with the housing office on post and they said that the Army will move us because our rental was foreclosed on - which is great news! They should also store our things for us for at least 90 days. We still have to hash things out with our realtor, but it looks like we will probably find a small, furnished apartment to live in for the next 3 months as we wait for our house to get done. We know God is with us and everything will work out fine. We know that somehow this is probably turning out for the best and in our favor, but it will make things a little crazy! Keep us in your prayers and we love you all!
