Thanks to everyone who responded. We have finally moved into our house and things are beginning to get better. I plan to join in on some of the social gatherings as soon as we can get settled into our house. I hope to meet you there. Gotta run to a 2 year old destroying my house right now. Thanks again, your responses did help me through a horrible time.

: Hello. I would love to hear some other
: opinions or advice. We just moved here from
: Tampa in March. My husband and oldest son
: came in Jan. so they could start
: school/work. That was the first issue. My
: son was not able to start school due to visa
: issues, etc. That issue has been taken care
: of and we have encountered a variety of
: other road blocks. The main issue is buying
: a house. We have the funds approved but
: there has been so much red tape to get
: through we cannot seem to close on our
: mortgage. The wonderful man who we are
: buying the house from will not let us rent
: what will soon be our own house even though
: it is vacant. We have moved 3 times with 4
: children, 2 of them are just babies from
: hotel rooms to short stay apartments while
: awaiting our house closing. The delay is no
: fault of our own. The house has been vacant
: since 2006 and the guy selling the house
: still does not have the proper paperwork to
: complete the closing. It is breaking my
: heart not to be able to give my kids and
: myself (selfishly) a home, stability,
: consistency, etc. My husband is Australian,
: grew up on Bourke Street but moved away
: years ago. I have screamed, cried, and
: everything else I can think of to do at this
: point. On a personal level, I love the
: Australian people ( I married one). While
: trying to do anything from buying a house to
: joining a gym I have experienced nothing but
: frustration and I am currently looking for
: the next one way flight home. Any advice
: would be appreciated.
