Buying a House

We have wanted a house since the day we got married, but we have just had so many obstacles in our way. Now that interest rates have dropped so low we thought we would try again. we found a house that we both love. It is what we have always wanted, a fixer upper with land. But of coarse nothing ever goes smoothly. It is a HUD foreclosure and we are nearing the end right around the holidays, so no one is in a hurry. We have been in under righting for almost a week now and are losing patience. Right now we are living in a shoe box! Our one bedroom apartment is almost as small as the bedroom I grew up in, and like most people we have tons of stuff. So we have placed most of our belongings into a 10x10 storage unit and are doing without it. Yes all my scrap booking stuff had to be put away. It is killing me. We have put in out notice to the apartment office, cause if not we had to renew our lease for another three months, and have to be out by January 28th. Talk about stress. I am counting the days till we have nowhere to live if the loan office does not start doing it's job. Who knew that buying a house was truly so difficult!? So we have been told that it SHOULD be out of underwriting on Monday then we move on. So please keep us in your prayers, I don't know if I can take much more!
