A Third Extension

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Stantchev,

We are so very sorry for the delays with Wells Fargo. We went with a big name like Wells Fargo because we thought we could avoid the runaround, delays and stress. Wells Fargo seemed to be the best choice for us all but perhaps we were wrong, and for that we apologize. We considered changing to a different lender but feared that would only cause more delays.

We have never been so nervous and stressed as we have been, thinking that you might change your minds about selling us the home because of the delays with Wells Fargo. We absolutely love your home and pray daily that it might all work out well. We are giving our best effort to make sure the purchase goes through fast and fair. We hope that the $200 dollars previously promised and the additional $300 dollars we are offering for an additional extension will help you cover any costs you have incurred because of the delay.

The delay is not either of our faults but we have heard that selling this home is difficult for you and hope that we can make it less of a trial. Please accept our additional offering and request for extension. Thank you for selling us what we hope to call our home.

Sincerely,

Joshua and Catherine Wells

P.S. Our last name is “Wells” but we share no relation to “Wells Fargo”. Which might be unfortunate because if we were related to the owners of Wells Fargo we probably could have just paid you cash for your home and just avoided this mess.

All’s Well That Ends Well -William Shakespeare

Ironic, “All’s Well That Ends Well” is actually one of Shakespeare’s “problem plays”, says Wikipedia, because critics can’t be sure it should be set apart as the comedy it was originally classified as. The title is a proverb meaning, that a good ending or result is worth all the work, trials and sacrifice one puts into it.

So Helena is a “gentlewomen” protected by the mother of Count Bertram, Countess of Rousillon. Helena is secretly in love with Bertram but he is a Lord and she a simpleton. Throughout the play, however, Helena proves herself to be anything but simple. Helena was the daughter of a brilliant surgeon; she saves the King from a terminal illness and in return is permitted to marry the Lord of her choice. Bertram didn’t stand a chance but runs off to war just after being married thinking death to be a better alternative to such a marriage. After leaving for war Bertram writes Helena, “When though canst get the ring upon my finger, which never shall come off, and show me a child begotten of they body that I am father to, then call me husband.”

The affable Helena easily obtains the assistance of Diana, a young maiden that Bertram confessed he would lie with. Like a champion of sales persons Helena successfully performs a “bait and switch” maneuver. Switching places with Diana at the last moment to obtaining Bertram’s ring and all other required items, Helena wins Bertram’s faith and love. So he promises to “love her dearly, ever, ever dearly”.

Gee Whiz, Shakespeare really was brilliant. He knew even then that men don’t stand a chance, but all’s well that ends well eh. :-)

Halloween spectacular!!

So last Sunday we decided to carve pumpkins for FHE. They turned out awesome! Take a look. Joshua Carved the one on the left. The symbol is our last name in Chinese, I told him that was too boring, so he decided to add eyes. The ones on the right I carved, the one with the red light is trying to eat the little one...thats why he has a scared face. Here's a few other pics. Here's our door. Why do I have a picture of our door you may ask? Well turns out our doors are always locked, so Joshua being the good husband he is, shut the door of our patio. While we were both outside, and neither of us had our keys. So we were locked out. It was pretty funny, cause as soon as he shut the door, we both just look at each other and say "Crap". It was funny. So we had to run over to the house of the Complex manager people, luckily I knew who they were and Joshua knew where they lived. So it all worked out in the end. Joshua loves his pumpkin. Now for the even more exciting part!!! Our Halloween costumes!!!!! Joshua was a snowboarder...and I was a Purple Octopus! Pretty sweet huh? And for all of you who are jealous of my purple pants, turtleneck and hat. I got them at DI for only $10.00 Can't beat that can you! I wont lie the pants were pretty amazing. They went up past my belly button and made the lower half of my body completely curvless. (Yeah I know I dont have much curve anyway but still, it was pretty attractive) But for some weird reason Joshua didn't seem to enthusiastic about them....Odd. These are our brave friends who agreed to spend Halloween night with us. Jessica and Yanis Rock are pretty much awesome. Yanis was a soccer player and Jessica was a umpire. We had a great time with them. We went to the Haunted House in provo and then went for dessert at the new Craigo's in Provo, we had the Cookie Monster. And Joshua and I finished all of ours...it was a pretty huge feat! After dessert we watched a movie at our humble abowd. It was a super fun night! Awwww, a snowboarder is kissing a Octopus. Could we be cuter? I submit that we could not!!!
