So anyway, I made The Call today. And I am happy to report that my loans have been officially rehabilitated and I am out of default. They are scheduled to be picked up by a bank in Texas on the 28th of this month. And I have never been happier in my entire life than I am right now.
I feel like I'm making an Oscar acceptance speech, but there are a few people who need to be recognized; without them, I never would have made it this far. Ziggy, fla-tan and Cheech (wherever you are) ... snowpuppy and centex ... I'm sure there are others, but the four of you have been instrumental in my success. I am incredibly grateful to each of you for your advice, instructions, support and shoulders you gladly let me lean on. Thanks guys!
