Yeah, it was a sad day. I have to be honest and say that I was almost expecting it. I should, however, add a few things that Karyn left out as to why we can't get what we need:
1. With my job I'm part salary and part commission. That apparently does not work in our favour and we'd be able to get more if I were either 100% one or the other
2. We don't live out there and don't have guaranteed jobs there. That means we have to go on probation and as a result they're not willing to take as much of a risk on us.
3. The mortgage was done based on my income alone. Because Karyn doesn't really have much credit (and the stuff she does have would work against us as it's only a student loan) they didn't put in her wages
On a positive note, we, as a couple, have amazing credit. Once we get Karyn a credit card it's going to get her earning credit that will help us out. More so, if we wait we're going to get into a much better place that we can stay at for a longer period of time (instead of just jumping into the market to have our own place - as much as we'd love to do that). Finally, it also gives us a chance to get a feel for the place. Who knows, maybe we won't like it there and we'll want to try somewhere else. God has a plan for us and even though this setback sucks, we'll probably be better for it in the long run and it's just that we can't see the future.

....stay where you are for now... (to be said in a creepy, ghost-like manner)
Thanks, Kev.
what!? i am indignant.
Being that Duane told me it was you(because you told him it was), you have no reason to feel indignant! :)
Awwwwwwww... well that kinda sucks! But I can see the positive side to it as well... as specially if it has God' hand in it. So from the sounds of it, you guys probably COULD afford a place, but because of the way Duane gets paid and Karyn's wages not being included it "looks" like you couldn't from their perspective. Weird... well.. Don't worry about having to rent a place without looking at it (especially if it's here in town) because we could look for you and get pictures still! And, if we know how much you're able to pay and what you're looking for we can even keep our eyes and ears open for you :o) Don't worry, everything will work out in His time.
