Thank YOU!

Thanks to all who have been supporting me and caring about me lately. You'll be happy to know that I got a call from the apartments today and I've been approved after a long and difficult process of getting the proof I needed to let them know that the credit issues are marital and not related to me. After seeing my credit report I would cringe too if I were them. But they heard the situation and are allowing me to move in... I get the apartment on Jan 7, plan to paint /decorate first and then move furniture in on another weekend. I promised my girls they would have a pretty room, and they both want blue walls, so i'm going to give them blue walls, possibly with butterfly decals on them, we'll see what happens when I get there and what I can find. Going to give my son a blue room also but with footballs or trucks or something instead of butterflies LOL... HUGS Love you all and miss you, sorry I'm soooooo busy lately!! Rachel

That's great news Rachel. So happy for you!!!! New places are fun, I know you are sad about leaving the house, but this will be a brand new beginning. You will be in charge of the memories in your new place. Home Interiors has a brand new line of kids stuff. So much stuff the kids have their own catalog. There are some adorable things for boys and girls. I know your money is tight, I would be willing to let you order everything at my consultant price. Just a thought, not trying to sell you anything, just wanted to give you some ideas. Robyn

Hi Robyn... my sister told me the same thing last night, said "you've never heard of home interiors" LOL... she's taking her catalog for thanksgiving day! She does WAYYYY too much. Okay, HUGS, gotta get back to my never ending quest for financial stability (work) Rachel

Hey Robyn, My sister just told me that she's only hosting a party... I've already seen some cute stuff so I'm hoping to get in touch with you to see if the discount you can help me with is worth it (I'm sure it is) please email me okay? [email protected] HUGS Rachel

That is great news Rachel, I am very happy for you!!! Take care, Dana

Rachel, I am so glad to hear that things are working out for you. It will be wonderful for you to have your 'own' place. I am sure the kids will be excited. You have been doing so great, when are you going to post that updated picture?? Talk to you soon. Hugs, Patty

Hi Patty, I never got it taken! I do have updated pics, but not the ones wearing the dress that make me do a double take to see who I was looking at... maybe this week, who knows? Hey, since I have ya here... I need to know the deadline for an application for next year... I want to send my kids to Concord for school... also want to talk with you about some particulars if we can... give me acall okay? HUGS Rachel

Rachel, Thanks for the update. Good luck dear. Have faith, the Lord will provide. Elissa

WoooHooooo!! You go, girl!!! I knew things would start to fall into place for you!!! Maybe a step at a time but at least it is happening and I am sooooooooo happy for you!! I sure hope you leave instructions for rooms OTHER than the childrens rooms to be painted something other than blue!!! That is alot of blue you are talking about there!! But then again, it is supposed to be a calming color....!!!! I think you are gonna have fun with this new place - I really do. Like everyone has said, new place, new beginning, new whatever you want!! Take it and make it your own!! You will feel great when you have everything done!! I told you you were strong!! Keep running with it, girl!! I believe in you!! God Bless!! Jo

Thanks Jo, But if I'm so strong, why do I feel so weak and alone all the time? I'm serious about this, so many times I hear how strong I am for going through this, that and the other by myself, but all I want is to be held and have someone take care of me for a chance, let me be a little girl... I don't want to be in charge of EVERYTHING, I want someone to help me with the major decisions in life!!! Now I've got a new job, a new home, new lease on life (surgery/weight loss), new energy level, and to top it off, feelings of guilt and depression that I don't get to spend as much time with my children anymore. I miss them so much and I still see them often enough for them to make me totally bonkers! Okay I think that's it for now... HUGS Rachel
