Dear Family,
We hope that you had a Merry Christmas! It was our "off year" but we did get together with 3 of the 4 families for lunch on Saturday. We had Nicks family with us from El Paso, it was good for them to be with family. Nick called from Afghanistan and was a little homesick (for some reason)? That is our third son, he is in the Air Force and this is his second deployment.
Anyway...enough about our Christmas. We heard from the agent that the bank will be out of the office until the 28th. They got our last offer and said that the docs all look good...so we might know before the new year! We will still have to do the inspections and I hope that Mark won't be around when they are done. He says that the only reason he is willing to do another restoration is to keep it in the family, he was hoping that he could give it to me for Christmas! I don't think that he wanted to do any shopping! He is a keeper!
Have a Happy New Year and we will keep those of you that are interested updated!
Lots of Love,
Shelley

33 Minutes On Hold
Hi Family,
Yesterday Mark spent 33 minutes on hold with the bank that holds that loan of Grandma's house. He decided to hang up and when he called back the recording said that the office was closed.
We wanted to give you an update. Not much news. We wish that we had used a different agent. We have to call her to get any updates. She finally gave us the banks phone number and the contact person so we could make some calls. The bank is doing another appraisal and if it comes in $10,000 less then our offer would do.
Getting a little discouraged, but not giving up. I won't admit that my Dad was right when he told "me that I was crazy for wanting to get the house back in the family."
I have tired to make contact with the previous generation (the Abel's). But like Charlotte "Munns" (Aunt Lotties daughter) Grandma's sister, reminded me that many of those cousins are deceased. So it looks like if the house is to be saved it is up to this generation.
I would appreciate any comments from you if you think this is worth pursuing or if you have any questions.
This is getting to be that busy time of year, but all I want for Christmas is to make this happen and to have our son come home safe from Afghanistan! Maybe, I should go sit on Santa's lap and ask him for it!
Have a good day.
Lots of Love,
Shelley
