How does your husband expect to go to grad school while doing a more than full time job?? I just found your blog but maybe I am missing something??

I read more in depth about the house thing and I agree with Rebecca, when we moved to Colorado, the loan officer just got proof of employment and how much my husband’s salary would be from his new company… that worked just fine. I would go to someone else.

Arizona sounds wonderful! especially right now… I need some sun.
I hope everything goes through…miracles do happen, especially in the money department. 🙂

When we went from grad school, to my hubby getting a job (and us looking for our first house — this is about 3 years ago) our loan officer just asked for proof of what our paychecks were going to be with the new job. No problem with getting a loan. Hope that helps a bit.

We always get closer to divorcing when we move than at any other time :)

I know how you feel, about a lot of this, but boy, it sounds like this might just work out in the most awesome way.

I think lots of things about this post:

1. I am jealous that you are going to AZ. Seriously. I can't tell you what a wonderful period that was in our lives. It could have been the place we were at in our lives, but I know the area had a huge impact, too.

2. I think that sometimes our answers are given to us simply by what works out. I like what you said about finding this job via looking in Texas. The Lord really does work in mysterious ways.

3. I will not tell you how close to divorce Joel and I have come every time we have moved. Augh. It's a high stress time for sure, but just keep your eye on the goal!

4. You need a new loan officer. That seriously makes no sense, even factoring for how hard hit AZ was in the housing crisis. Get a second opinion.

5. Love you. Praying for you.
