Here is an update from my last post....
I was so upset on Saturday when my father in law didnt come through to take me to see my husband...all I wanted to do was curl up on the couch and cry, but something was nagging me to get out and handle my business and start looking at houses again, which I was planning to do on Sunday, after I got to see my husband...but since that didnt happen, I started a day early.
And what a difference a day makes! I had been talking on the phone with a homeowner from California that had a 3brm 2bath single family home in Lithonia, renting for $800 a month. (considering I was paying $1200 for my last place in Virginia- a condo, this is incredible to me!) I hadnt planned on going to see it until Sunday, but I called her and low and behold, she was already in town and willing to see me Saturday night. So when my girlfriend came home, we hopped in the car and drove to the house. I instantly fell in love with it. I has a huge backyard, a fireplace, washer and dryer already in the home and get this: A JACUZZI TUB! Ahh, the possibilities! (May 2006 needs to hurry up and get here! LOL)
So we talked for over 2 hrs. and clicked instantly. She said if I wanted the house, it was mine. I accepted. No application fee, no credit check, no nothing...God is so awesome! What is so funny is that there were 3 other couples there that were looking at the house, but she mainly stayed with me, showing me things, exchanging decorating ideas...it was so wild to connect with her the way I did...I am too excited!
Then on top of that, I GOT TO SEE MY HUSBAND ON SUNDAY! My sister in law called me and said if I wanted to use her car to go see him I could...She didnt call until 7am, and his visit was from 8a-1pm, and I live an hour away from where she is, so I had to hurry up and shower, get dressed and get dropped off in Griffin. My mother in law decided she wanted to go as well, so I didnt have to drive alone. I got to Griffin at like 10am, then hightailed it on the highway to get to Wheeler before his visit was over. He called me while I was on the road, found out I was on my way and got off the phone to get showered! I got to Wheeler at 12:30pm and practically had to beg the sargeant to let me see him for those last 30 min...which he did. My husband walked into that visiting room and it seemed as if all that I had been through in the previous 24hrs was forgotten. He held me so tight and kissed me and I felt so good, even if it was only for 30 min...I hadnt seen him in six months, so 30 min was good enough for me. When the visit was over, we stood in the visiting room with him for another 5 min. and then we had to go..he kissed me one last time, hugged his mother and that was it. But I loved every minute of it. We didnt have time to take any pictures, but I will be going again next week and I will be getting all my time this time! I am so happy that I got to see my husband...no thanks to my father in law. But it was God's plan for me to get that house, which I wouldnt have done if I had been at a visit on Saturday!
