Its a toss up....

No word still on the house....the Realtor sent more places this morning, I guess its worth it to keep on looking since some new places went on the market in the area that we like. I already have about 4 on my list that I believe would be worth looking at. We could still get word this week that we will get the house, but at this point neither of us are counting on anything....I've pretty much just pushed it out of my mind for now.

Its sad that because of this crummy economy that we are able to buy a home. Most of the homes we have been interested in are bank repossessions or foreclosures. A few of the recent ones I looked at today though were not, but for what its worth are priced way lower than that same home would have been 3 years ago. I am fearful that my parents home could be next if my dad is unable to find work once he looses his job in April. My brother has already been laid off once and Andrew's brother is laid-off again until March and the baby is due in July.

I've never been one to read the paper or look at the news on a daily basis but now I do every single day. I am worried about my family, and what might happen to me after college. It seems not even a degree from one of the top private liberal arts colleges in the nation will get me a good job these days. I didn't think I would live to see something like this happen. I'm really worried about my family and everyone else who is being affected by this crisis. I just have to pray that things will work out.....
