A little found Praise

Praise! I had just logged off the computer and was setting to call Social Security as I had mentioned in my last post, when my phone rang...what do you know it was Social Security! It was explained to me NO Shawn doesn't have to wait the 5 months like he had previously thought. All of Shawn's application has now been sent to the payment department. And from what we understand they should be reviewing all the information and then sending out a check. He was unable to say exactly when we would  receive the first check, just that it could be up to 14 days! I hope this doesn't sound too forward in me saying I am praying they will be moved to send it a whole lot quicker! He also was able to explain the retro pay as well, and it was better than what he was suggesting yesterday! That in is self is going to be a huge help. As you all can imagine we owe a lot of people and we have bills past due, that money will allow us to catch up. Now that we have had the verbal confirmation, the written will be sent out right away. We are hoping that as soon as we receive the letter we are hoping to sit down with our landlord and work things out. They have been extremely generous, but asking them to keep waiting for the rent is asking a whole lot! This has been a roller coaster ride without question! I am ready to get off this ride! So when all is said and done maybe we will be able to stay put and actually set down roots. That has been our plan from the get go! Boy it seems an awful long time since we have set this whole thing in motion. And like any ball rolling it rolled quickly and veered along it's own course!
