So, as you all know we are hurting...bad. I have been trying to be cool and calm and positive, but after sitting in the unemployment office yesterday morning with Brian and Laci I lost my strength and folded and had a worse evening. I am trying hard to be positive again this morning, but I am finding it harder. Yesterday was the first day that no one called his phone at all, which kinda freaked me out as well.
On a very positive note, however, my grandma helped us buy a new washing machine! It is an absolute beauty that we got in the scratch and dent section of a local Lowes. Its a Maytag front loader HE washer that is 3.7 cu. ft and retails for 899.00. But after some haggling and an already staggeringly reduced brice, we got it for 481.00!!! so it was only 181.00 out of our pockets and is the kind of washing machine laundry dreams are made of!! I couldnt be more hapy about it or more humbled and appreciative either. I still have no clue how to thank you guys! I love you and will see you in a week or so! XOXO!!
The machine:
Anyhow, brian is out in a busy part of town today that is doing good in the automotive business still passing out applications and resumes today. I can only keep praying that maybe today will be the day that ends with him getting a new job.
Today we are dropping the house to 125k. Its a huge hit but its for the best. If we can sell now for that price we can move into an appartment in kennesaw and move on from this terrible ordeal without risking a foreclosure. Its amazing how short the distance is between a happy comfortable life having nothing. May our life be an example to those who may take their health, jpbs, or family for granted.
Welp, hope you all have a nice wednesday. I will update as I get any news.

My Dear Granddaughter, what a nice looking washing machine.I'm gonna bring my laundry to Canton and do a few loads..of clothes that is...LOL! We have to keep our sense of humor even through this economic crisis. I know how depressing it is to sit at the unemployment office, when you looked around I bet you saw a lot of sad faces along with yours. I think selling the house and geting an apartment for now is a good idea. If you can sell, you can put most of the money in CD's or maybe some in an annunity to earn more interest. You guys have a strong bond and I always say" Something good will come out of something bad" ! Our country has always come back, and we will be STRONG again. We're looking forward to your visit next Thurs. it will give me a reason to clean the house ( kidding) ! We need some of those good warm hugs you give us. You know how much you mean to us!
We love you guys! Grandma
