18 Days Later... (I think!)

I'm back! Do you ever feel like the Universe is trying to test your patience? Ya, well it's been messing with me but I refused to let it get me down!

I have negotiated with the bank, my mortgage has been modified and I get to KEEP MY HOME! I went to Disneyland the other night. I sure missed it - had not been there in over a month!
