I know I haven't been on recently. I've been all over the place and just didn't find time to update. So here's what's been going on: My parents found out Garrett's been smoking weed so they gave us a firm date of being out October 1st instead of a flexible date. We've been trying really hard looking for a place but our credit is an issue. It's been tiring. In the meantime Garrett agreed to stop smoking in order keep things from getting worse. He says he'll start again when we move out but I'm praying he won't need it. But with my parents, the pressure to move out, and him not smoking, it's gotten to him and he's been moody. He's angry, anxious, depressed, and suicidal he said. He's been directing a lot of it to me because he doesn't have a way to let it out so we were fighting a lot. We're ok now because we've talked and I prayed but we're still working on it. I also was in the middle of applying to beauty school but I've hit a brick wall. Financial Aid doesn't cover the whole tuition and I can't get a loan for this school because it isn't participating in any loan program from banks or anything. It's frustrating. And we've been trying to get pregnant. I found out I was ovulating at the end of August but sadly no luck this month. That's been kinda rough. Well that's everything in the last month. I'll try and check in more and I'll be looking through everyone's threads to see how you all are. Hope everyone is doing ok!

Well as far as apartment hunting goes, s place said they'd rent to us because they didn't do a credit check. But it's in a kinda ghetto part of town. It's not the worst but it's defintely not the best. Please pray that if this is the right place the door will open and if it isn't the door will close.

So we moved in yesterday. It was crazy and my husband basically got on our landlord to make the apartment 'safe and liveable' in a certain time frame. So we were moving in she added some security measures and fixed some serious problems with the place and is scheduled to fix the rest pretty soon. Praise God. I still have to scrub down 80% of the place before I'm satisfied that it's clean but I'm happy. Not gonna lie, my husband and I are a tiny bit nervous to live where we do but our neighbors seem nice and we know that there's a lesson in this. God does everything for a purpose. So whatever it is, praise God.

I'm glad to hear this Marissa - God will protect you. It will be good for you to be in your own home with just the two of you again. I will continue praying for you!

Praying for you Marissa, but I am so thrilled your in your own place. Chris and I first apartment was in the most ghetto place in town and filled with roaches. Pretty gross, but I think back on that place and have nothing but joyful happy memories. I would have rather stayed there then in a nice house with bad memories. You guys are starting something new here so even though it's "ghetto" fill it with love and good memories.

Thanks Adrienne and Sharon. I've been so busy cleaning and organizing all week I haven't had time to check in. The place is getting better. I cleaned the entire place and a lot of things are put away so we feel better now. Garrett also made friends with the neighbor. It started over weed (of course) but they've had a lot of talks since last week and now he said he'll make sure that we're ok and nothing happens to us or our place. So it's a start. We leave out of town today so we're a bit nervous for that but I prayed a bunch last night. I still need to press in more, hopefully this week I will since the house is more settled.
