Will this waiting ever end?

It seems like the number of hoops to jump through to try and make this whole house thing happen is growing.
First, we had to wait until our tax numbers were in to see what we would qualify for, second, we find out that we can't get those numbers until mid-end of Jan so we are left to wait, third, we then find out that we must pay off all debt (school loans and our car) to qualify for a number that is worth our while, then, we have to have a zero balance on our credit cards for 60 days to keep our debt to income ratio as low as possible.
Good grief. Who ever thought that getting a home loan would be so difficult?? Oh yeah, I did. We've been through this all before so really, I shouldn't be surprised. But alas here we are shocked and annoyed once again at the ridiculousness that we must go through for the hope of owning a home.
Now it's not all bad, getting completely out of debt before we jump into the biggest purchase of our marriage seems smart, and we may be glad that we did in the long run, but right now it's annoying that it has caused the time frame to move once again.

Three more months, at least, of waiting until we can find out if this will work again. I swore I would never put myself through this emotional roller coaster again, but I guess God has other plans.

So here we are. I'm still hopeful, but it's hard to know that once again we are waiting. Will this waiting ever end?

Only God knows.
