Ready for Vacation

It's been a while since I posted but I've been trying to relax and work on my stress levels. I stopped taking my blood pressure medicine 3 days ago and my BP has been normal. My mom it might be because I have been loosing some weight. But I think it's also because I have been trying to control my stress levels. Jeremy hasn't had class for 3 weeks and even though for the last 2 weeks he's been working like crazy, I haven't been doing too much. I do the normal stuff around the house like laundry, dishes, cooking and such. But nothing too exta. But Jeremy started back to school this past Tuesday. Chemistry and English. These classes are actually more structured and clear than the other classes he has had before.
Last week we had a scare. See when we called our insurance to change our homeowner's insurance to landlord's insurance they asked us if we had notified our mortgage company about us renting our house out. So I called them and was told to formally write a letter to request permission to rent the house out. I did just that and then last Friday we got a letter stating that we were in breach of our contract because the loan originated as 'owner-occupied'. We weren't sure what was going to happen. We thought we may loose our house if they made us kick our tenants out because that's how we are paying our mortgage now. Well Jeremy called yesterday and the lady said they are required by policy to send that letter out. They actually don't care if we rent the house out as long as the mortgage, insurance and taxes are paid on it. WHEW! What a relief!
As for the title of this blog, well I'm SOOO ready for a vacation. God is soo good. He's always providing. With our house and now with Jeremy's paycheck that's just in time for our little vacation. Usually with his check we can just barely pay the bills. But this time his check includes 27 hours of overtime (@ time and half pay) plus his regualar pay. We are headed to VEGAS!! Jeremy's parents are bowling in Reno, NV for Nationals and then they are driving down to Vegas. Jeremy's brother Aaron and his wife and 4 kids will be meeting up with us there too. I'm soooo excited! It's been 2 years since we've seen his brother's family. And we finally get to meet up with our cute little 1 1/2 year old niece Abby whom I share a birthday with! :-)
