I know it's been awhile since I posted last. I had to turn my computer in to get fixed and Micah has needed his computer for work, so I had limited access. Then a few days later we lost our internet! We just got it back yesterday-so yay for that! Now on to the other bad things going on. Last Tuesday we got a phone call from our realtor that our house we had in Medical school (that hasn't sold yet) was broken into. For many of you reading this, you know that we have not had much luck with this house-it's been 2 years now and it still hasn't sold because of the market we are all finding ourselves in. We had a guranteed buyout from our realtor when we first purchased the house, with signed purchase agreements etc. The day we were to close on it she backs out and leaves us in a terrible bind. Very long story short we sued the company and got a small settlement out of it-but still have to sell the house. So anyway, we drove to the house Wed. to get things in order, survey the damage, and get the ball rolling to getting it fixed. Then Thursday night we got the news that Micah's residency program was recommended to close. It's all politcal and completely has no merit...but it's the situation that we're in. We are praying for the chance to file an injunction and win to keep the program open...and if so we'd find out in about 2 weeks. We are so happy where we are, and Micah is getting the best education...we'd be so sad to leave if we are forced out. And that would mean another house on the market! We are trying our best not to panic yet, and are just waiting for more definitive news.
Then to make matters even worse...Sunday night we were packing the kids and the van up to come back home after visising our families when Micah turned the van on from the back seat and must have accidentally pressed the lock button (which is on the key itself). He closed the back door-and then we were locked out. Kids locked in carseats. Aiden can't get himself out-and Devin is screaming. We are freezing trying to talk to them to keep them calm while we wait for the police to show up. They finally get there and I sign the waiver for them to slim jim it when he asks me if it has side air bags. I said yes, I'm pretty sure it does, and then the policeman says he can't do it because they could deploy and kill him. Wonderful. Devin is still screaming and Aiden is getting upset too. While we wait for a locksmith, the policeman tries to get some wedges in the door and a wire contraption down to trip the locks...After about 25 minutes of this Micah is able to maneuver it enough to trip the locks and get the doors open. As soon as this happens, the locksmith shows up! But we got in, the kids were rocked to sleep by the van while they were trying to get it open and we were able to get on the snowy road home. I'm praying that our bad luck in 3's is over and we will have good news soon...
Here are the pictures from the damage done to our house...very minimal compared to what it could have been. We were lucky, and hope our luck doesn't run out-well our bad luck can run out now!

sorry about all the bad luck. When I first heard about the program stuff I wasn't surprised because I felt like it was all unjustified before hand too. I also am not too attached to living here probably since I know one day we are leaving anyway. Then I guess yesterday it hit me like a ton of bricks and the worry and anxiety took over. I spent the whole day researching other programs, looking into housing prices in our area and worrying about what my future will hold. Funny thing is that one of the reasons for wanting to shut the program down is the supposed "instability" of having recent switches in the program director. Ummm, isn't it a bit more unstable for our husbands to pick up in the middle of residency and go to a different program. mmmm...the whole thing just sucks for all of us.
