We had been searching like maniacs for Chad's DD214 (the military loves to number their paperwork) for the past week. Seems it's a V.I.D. (very important document - they love their acronyms just as much) (but I made that one up!), which of course means Chad "misplaced" it, probably as soon as he opened it.
Basically, it's the form from the military that shows his time in and out of active duty and proves he is entitled to all the benefits of VA. Meaning, no DD214, no VA loan.
After digging through boxes and boxes of stuff that just makes me cry at seeing, and not finding it, I began to search our crammed bedroom for the 3rd time. Guess where I found it? In a glass (aka see through) candle holder on TOP of our dresser. Where Chad put it so he wouldn't forget it.
Then, we drive 30 minutes one way to the mortgage company's office yesterday to deliver all the final paperwork, and guess what we forget? Yep, DD214!!!
That was a fun ride home.
But, regardless, they finally have everything they needed to turn our paperwork over to the approval department of the THDA loan program. Our lady did say, after I forced her to give me a potential time frame, that we could be closing on the house as early as next Friday!
Can you say, THANK YOU JESUS!!!!
We are waiting on Chad's W2's to arrive in the mail from the past two years. We couldn't find those in storage. They sent off our paperwork without the real copies (oxy moron), but we should have them before time to close. Please pray everything continues to go smoothly. We are very excited and it almost feels like we may really be about to move out of my parents' house. Almost.
