I am soooo happy right now. The apartments we wanted called us back and said we are approved! Now we have to sign the lease and such then we can move in. I cannot wait to get a fresh new start in a place that’s not falling apart. I can not believe how far my husband and I have come over the years. It is amazing how much we have been though and still in love. You might not be able to live on love but you can keep hanging on love.

Even though I got that good news there have been a few serious things on my mind. After watching the TV, hearing the radio and talking to my mom I have started thinking about our economy and people in a whole. It makes me sick to think about some of those things. Like the fact that working people receive no help from assistance programs. My mom and dad have worked hard their whole lives and can not even get assistance with their heating but they are giving help to some idiot sitting on their ass. I am not saying everyone on assistance in an idiot so don’t start the hate mail. (lol) I am saying I know of people who are ripping the government off and get away with it. Then you have families who are trying their best just to make it and no one will help them until they are in the gutter. Welfare is the same way they pay you to live off welfare. Welfare should be a one time grant that gets you an apartment, cheap car and a job. If you give people the tools to survive they will.

If they would have started helping working families losing their homes a few years ago we would not be in the crisis we are in now. I just feel people on disability should be disabled and people on assistance should need assistance not an alternate way to live. People that abuse the system make it harder for people who really need it. That is what makes me wonder about our presidential candidates. They all say a lot of things but who is really for the middle class, the hard working family struggling to get by, the children without medical and food and the elderly who needs the help most? Sitting her thinking I know more then a handful of people who needs that help. Elderly without medical who cut pills, decide between medicine, food or bills. Children who live in ran down housing without clothes, food, medical and heat. Single mothers working two jobs just to try to pay the rent. Lastly the mother and father who have to give up their home, place their kids in slum schools and cut spending on food, clothing and bills just to make it to the next pay check.

As I was typing this a Obama support came to my door looking for my support. I had to answer her honestly that I do not know who I want as president. Granted Obama is a family man who worked for less then 13 thousand a year and has great health care plan but can he fulfill his promises? Then there is McCain who in my opinion does want to do best for the country but he does not care who suffers for that. He has the same plans as Bush. Bush’s plans have hurt the working class, poor children, the elderly and the economy in general. McCain stands by the trickle down effect and so far that has not worked. I am filling out the form to register to vote… but still no clue as to who I think would be the best candidate for president of the United States.

Anyone else feeling the way I am? Who do you support and why? What about that candidate makes you think they are qualified for such a important job?

I wanted to do a fast post so people know whats going on. So we finally got our application into one of the apartments we were looking at. Everything seemed to so good then yesterday they call and tell me we still need a co-signer. I was so pissed since we had to pay $80 for the application fees and they cannot tell us what makes us need a co-signer. Anyway after much worry and phone calls we found a co-signer. My husbands father said he would co-signer for us since he knows we pay our bills and stuff. So tonight we go and resign the papers then in a day or two we will know if we have it. I pray that we do get it because I really really want to move from where we are. This place seems amazing and they have a heated in door swimming pool. Well I just wanted to do a fast post to let everyone know whats going on. Keep an eye on the updates to the side I have been updating even if not blogging. I will be back tomorrow I think with a few updates and to do some promoting for the site. Enjoy the rest of the day!

Since my last post I have had a lot going on, but it seems everyone does now days. So I know I have been talking about us getting a new place but now we will have to. I do not want to go into to much detail but it is not because of anything really bad. Just some circumstances have changed meaning will have to move sooner. My husband and I sat down and figured things out and we can swing the down payment and rent without much problem. The only thing throwing us off is they want you to make 3x the amount the rent will be. We are only shy that amount a little bit but with what he makes in tips everyday make up for it. The rental company does not want to put that toward our income. Now we will have less then a month to find a co-signer with amazing credit. It is hard enough to find someone with amazing credit let alone someone to co-sign. I do not really want to ask someone because that is a lot to ask of a person. I do know we will be good for the rent every month with no question. We are relyable people because no matter what has come out way we find away to take care of it. It just sucks that there is no way to show the rental company that. After looking online about it I have noticed their are a lot of people with the same problem. If anyone knows a of nice apartments in Austintown please drop me a line and let me know.

Anyway as far as the site goes I have moved my pixels back here because my host of my pixel site vanished with no trace. I just wish she would have let me known this way I could have did another back up and looked for a host. If anyone is interested in hosting my pixels feel free to contact me because I would be so thankful. I am going to be working on adding more to them as well.

I have been trying to start being active on the snapbeat < href="http://snapbeat.org/forums">forum. I figure that since Shellz is giving me space I should stay active and plus I think it will be a good way to meet people here at snapbeat.

Well it is getting close to the time for me to pick my son up. Please keep me in mind and wish me luck with getting a place.
