ONE MONTH!! My Family and I Have One Month To Move Out Of Our House That We Put Everything Into!
Hello Steemit friends, there comes a moment where the worst possible thing in life can just happen, and the worst possible thing becomes your biggest blessing. I am praying that this is that blessing.
10 months ago I found out that my daughter Nala Rose Ford was going to be born. I looked my fiance Nikki in the eye's and said, "My daughter is not gonna be raised in our shitty apartment." Then I got beyond lucky...I found somebody who would do a rent to own with me until August. In the process I completely fixed up this house, made my daughter's room look absolutely adorable, and built my credit up with only one goal in mind....to be a home owner, proud father, and husband.
Then today at 4:30 pacific time, it felt like my entire world came crashing down. I got a call from the bank saying my loan would not approve the amount requested. Then I got a second call from the owner saying that I have one month before I have to move out of his home.
I truly believe this is going to be a blessing in disguise, and that everything happens for a reason. But with a newborn baby I am praying that this blessing happens sooner then later. I do understand that this is not the initial home I wanted to raise my beautiful family in, but I worked so damn hard to make it mine. I invested everything into this house, and was so proud I brought my beautiful daughter into it.
I apologize to all my steemit friends and followers for putting a sad post into the atmosphere, but this is one of the scariest moments that has happened to me. I expect nothing but the best from this point forward, and I know that where we will be in a year is going to be ten times better.
Thankyou for taking the time to watch this vlog, or at least read the blog. Please have a great day and know that you are all amazing. STEEM ON!
Just read you post. It's a scary time so no need to apologize. Your baby is adorable.
Thankyou, she is perfect! Appreciate your comment

May you get all what you deserve... You are a great father..
Thankyou very much! I am beyond appreciative for your comment! That is a true fact! Have a good day!
Sorry to hear of your woes. You seem resolute to make it through. That's probably 90% or more of what counts.
Thankyou very much! I believe it is also!
That's terrible news brother. I can definitely relate on many levels. Keep your head up. Now is the time to get focused more then ever. What can you do? What can you do now? Start fucking doing it now, your new plan needs to get engaged immediately.
Thankyou for this comment! It was real as fuck, and I appreciate that! I have called every realtor and have a meeting tomorrow, and have sold all the firewood I own already...next up is no bills this month, and then focus on the next month! In other words......shit is rolling brotha
You've got the right attitude about it. Something better is going to come along, you weren't meant to be in this house. Your family has a home coming you just need to take a breath and figure it out.
Thankyou very much! You are definitely right! I know we weren't meant for this..!

Ugh, Dillon that is rough. I don't have a lot of steem as I am new here but I can resteem your post. Best of luck !
Thankyou very much:) I honestly appreciate people just taking the time to click my blog! Have a great day
Man, I feel you on this one. I was renting an old farmhouse that the owner wanted nothing to do with. We poured heart and soul into it, rebuilding the deck, replacing the floor in places, remodeling, etc. Then one day the owner's daughter decided she wanted to live there. We ended up in my inlaws' basement with 3 kids and soon one on the way. We tried 3 times to buy something but it always fell through. Finally we found the perfect place for us with a few acres. It was a blessing in disguise, for sure. If it hadn't happened i would still be there fixing up someone else's house instead of living in my own investment. Keep your chin up. You'll get there and look back on it and smile.
Thankyou for your story! That is basically how she was wrote for us.....it is a heart dropping, gut wrenching moment! But I am glad it worked out for the best for you and I know it will all workout for the best with me. I appreciate the kind words
Wish you the best and your daughter is beautiful sending you steemit love, light and blessings.
Thankyou very much, I appreciate every word!
Like @youngogmarqs says, "if you woke up this morning, you blessed."
Man I'm feeling for you, I know how much work you put into that house, but like you said, maybe it's a blessing in disguise. Something bigger and better may just be right around the corner. Just gotta keep your head up man, even through the worst of times. I'll be putting out good vibes for Nikki, Nala, and you! 🙏🏻
Thankyou! I felt like I was stealing his line a little bit when I was saying it....I'm grateful to be here, I am grateful to have two wonderful girls in my life! I'll appreciate the bad times with them and how we get through them
