Sunday will be the first day on July, which means the year is technically half over already. I can't believe how quickly time is flying past. Do you ever feel like you just can't keep up?
June had glimpses of being a productive month, and then it wasn't. But then it was again. Bouncing back and forth has made me a crazy, moody mess.
The bank approved the offer on the house, but then they wouldn't finalize the paperwork until we were default on the mortgage. So, we didn't pay June. Then I hear that it shows we paid June.... lots of back and forth emails and still, as of today - June 29th, nothing. Which means we will be paying the HOA in July, not paying the mortgage, and hope that the bank finally gets their act together.
In June, I also found an apartment I liked. After two weeks of back and forth about filling out an application, I did. Then I was told I was approved and we set up a time to fill out the lease. Then the day of the lease signing, I was told I filled out the OLD application and I needed to complete the new one. Now I'm still waiting to hear that everything is okay and we can move forward with the lease. The plan was to take over the current tenant's lease as of July 15th.... which is soon. So an answer would be awesome.
I think my anxiousness to close the door on that part of my life has caused me to be very impatient. So fingers crossed this stuff gets resolved soon. Like today... :)
Anyways, the point of this post, the goals update...
1. WORK ON MY 101 IN 1,001 LIST - I was certainly trying. I have a couple of books to finish reading that were recommended by friends. I should spend some weekend time trying to figure these out and get back on track. I may re-evaluate some of those goals and change them to things more important now, but we'll see.

2. SAY "YES" MORE OFTEN - Not a lot of instances for me to take advantage of this has come up, but I anticipate this will change in July.
3. SAVE, SAVE, SAVE - I gotta tell you, not paying a mortgage in June allowed me to save $1,600 without blinking (and thanks to my parents letting me crash at their place). Thank goodness too, because when I do eventually sign a lease that's pretty much going right back out of my pocket. The good news, the apartment I found was much cheaper than I was preparing to pay, so I will be able to continue to put away money.
Who's ready for July (aka the month of my 3-0 birthday)??? :)

You DID say yes in June - you signed an application for an apartment. That's a big YES! :)
