I’m waiting rather patiently for the mail to show up. I hope to see a letter from HSBC in regards to the loan. We’ll have to take the car in to get fixed and then we’re heading up to New York for a few days so I can collect on the loan and visit family. I know my grandparents aren’t doing very well and I just recently found out that my father is having some heart and liver issues that have given me some cause for concern.

I didn’t want to take the route of loans in regards to us moving but sometimes you really have no choice in the matter. It’s a personal loan, because the place kind of is a junker that requires quite a bit of fixing up but this is going to be our starter home so finding cheap loans was just a requirement for us, looking into mortgages wasn’t really even worth it for us. I’m scared, I’ll admit that. I’ll be very far away from family and we’ll really be on our own. We won’t have the outside influence of his mother or my father when it comes to how we do things, or where we happen to do it. It’s going to be our place, our bills, our lives. I know that I can emotionally and financially handle it, it’s just a big step in our relationship.
