We will have to be out of the hotel by 2-18 @ noon. Unless something changes, we will be checking out sometime on Sunday, 2-17 b/c of TJ having to work on 2-18. And that is one wk from tomorrow. Where we are going, we are unsure of right now. I did speak to the hotel mgr/v.p. yesterday. He said that he has talked to the owner and will hopefully know something on Monday. I am praying that something good comes of this and we have housing, whether it be here and me working for our stay or an apt or something.

I am also praying that it dries up, and/or freezes so the dealer of our home can get in there, fix the land and pour the footers. Once that happens, a wk later (weather permitting), they will be going in and setting up our home. So in reality, IF the weather cooperates, we could be looking at moving into our home in a couple of wks.

I just got a call from the dealer. Literally like 10 min. ago and he is waiting on the bank to call him w/some money so they can get this ball rollin'. With the freezing temps we are expected to have this weekend, he is wanting to get in there, fix the land and pour those footers immediately. Oh, girls, wouldn't that be great?!?!? PLEASE PRAY.

We also got our reimbursement check yesterday. Well, the somewhat depreciated amount. It was ALOT more than we expected and we are very pleasantly surprised w/the amount they sent. We also got our tax refund yesterday as well and dh got paid. Honestly, I'm feelin' a little overwhelmed right now w/making sure the money goes where it needs to go and all. But, w/the taxes, we are paying down alot of debt and then I can pay off my cc that we've been charging on (that had a $0 balance) for this whole thing.

My emotional roller coaster ride seems to be going on and on, but at least right now, it is on the up-swing and looking a little better, at least for right now and that's a great thing. At least to me it is. As you've prob. read in my post in the support board, I'm honestly and truthfully not dealing w/all of this very well. It is really starting to wear me down and I'm becoming someone that I really don't like. It's almost like a struggle w/myself each day some days. I can't wait for all of this to be behind us and we can move on. I look forward to the day when it's all just a really bad memory.
