It's been a while since I've written. We've been very busy and things rock on pretty much the same day after day for the most part.
The mortgage company is balking at every little detail in getting our cash-out refinance done. Right now, the sticking point is employment history, all because one of the people they asked to verify my previous employment misspoke and told them I filed "self-employed" last year. I'm in touch with my tax preparer trying to clear that up. This has been a two-month long process and frankly, I'm frustrated and threatening to change banks. Anyone with a brain can see I'm good for the paltry amount I'm requiring.
I took two tests this afternoon at the Office of Personnel Management for the State of Oklahoma. We'll see if I get an interview. Some of those situational questions are really subjective and open for a bit of discretion. I aced the math questions, and did well on the English usage questions. I used to pride myself as a good English student, (my blog posts don't count) but the tests showed me a few deficiencies.
We're living with a good bit of pressure right now. I won't go into detail, but we're wearing thin emotionally and really needing to get away soon. I vote for somewhere cool.
In spite of it all, we're still happy and whether you agree with me or not (it matters not), still glad to be conservative and Christian.
