Bad news first. The bank rejected our first offer on the house. OK news is that we've resubmitted an offer and will probably hear back from them on Friday.
Good news is that John is able to get his pension check from the Meat Cutters union in Oregon and we will be able to make a house payment without scrimping more than I do now. More good news is that the Oregon union doesn't care about him working in this area so we don't have to find a different job right this second and we get to keep our health insurance.
I haven't written too much lately as we've been negotiating with the bank and getting contractor bids so once an offer is accepted we'll be ready to move forward quickly.
OK news is that the bank lowered the price by $5,000 again. They consistently lower the price every month by that amount. Our offer and their price would currently match up in March. That's a long way from Christmas but that's a sweet deal if we wanted to wait that long. Plus once we start getting pension checks, the more we can save between when we close on the house and our expenses go up.
