Crazy

Okay, before anything else I have to share the craziest thing that happened. Joel and I are renting a house and they had to do a background and credit check on us. Today, I got a phone call from the property manager saying that we weren't eligible because of my criminal misdemeanor endangerment charge from August 2011.

What?!

So apparently on my background check it came up that I had pleaded guilty to a criminal misdemeanor endangerment charge at Globe Regional Justice Court, which is Globe Arizona. I wanted to cry. THIS IS NOT ME! After some pleading and further digging we discovered that there is an April Anne Ashby (my maiden name is Ashby, so I am April Yong Ashby)who is 33 (older than me) that pleaded guilty to child endangerment. But I was freaking out!! I was already imagining getting thrown in jail and not being able to prove my innocence like one of those horrible Life Time movies. Anyways, crisis averted.

Now, the actual update.

Joel and I were buying a house. Then we ran into all sorts of problems. So instead of buying the house we're renting a house for a year and then looking for a house when our year lease is coming to a close. This will give us more time to look, and save up a bigger down payment. I'm a little sad to walk away from this house (we were at the inspection stage so I was already decorating everything in my mind) but this is what we feel that the Lord wants for us. Things just weren't working out and it felt like we had to force everything to happen, so we started getting the hint. Then there were a million and one delays to paying earnest money and signing so we finally heard the loud shouting in our ears that this was not the right decision for us right now.

Anyways, we're pretty happy with our little house we'll be renting. I'm pretty excited to not have to share a room with Brian's toys! And we'll hopefully be in there for the new year, once my criminal record is cleared up :)
