Why did the chicken cross the road? ... Mortgage approval. ... Don't get it? Neither did we. Well, it looks like we're not quite able to get approved for a mortgage that we can afford and so our adventure comes to a less than celebratory end. That's okay though, we'll have our house one day soon. Just not this house and not today. The money you've donated toward the down payment will sit tight and wait for awhile until we can try again someplace else. Someplace even... AWESOMER! Honestly, I really have nothing to be bummed out about. I've got an amazing girl, kids that I couldn't be more proud of and the bestest job that has brought me the bestest fans. My family and I want to thank everyone for your support and well wishing, and we'd also like to thank our mortgage broker, Brad, for trying everything possible and working his butt off to try and make this happen. In the end, I'd rather have no house and all of you, than get the house and be without you. As always, thanks for reading. ~Thunt
