Working It

We are not a military family but we have a lot of friends who are. I have been told that, especially on a military salary, it’s not easy to purchase your own home. Most banks are not as lenient when it comes to lending money for veteran home loans to people whom they might consider as a huge lending risk.

The good thing, though, is that MilitaryVALoan.com offers these services for active duty and prior service veterans who may need either a home loan or refinancing, at the lowest rates available. All they need to do is fill-out a DD214 request form in order to obtain a certificate of eligibility for a VA mortgage loan.

I’m glad they have these programs. Our soldiers deserve all the support they can get. After all, they make our lives easier, so we should help make their dreams come within reach too.

More Friday5!

1. If you were suddenly unable to make any excuses, what could you realistically do today to address whatever in your life is keeping you from being healthy and happy?
:: Taking up running. Most everyone I know has been doing it and I find that they’ve been healthy and happy because of it. I’ve been planning to do it but then I got pregnant so I scrapped the idea. I really want to do it now. And I will. Maybe tomorrow. :)

2. What are your feelings about professional wrestling?
:: Scripted. I used to be a fan during the Hulk Hogan/Macho Man/Jimmy Superfly Snooka days but eventually got tired of it. Imagine a Texas truck accident lawyer vs. Rowdy Roddy Piper. Exactly. I think its the ultimate Broadway show for men. :)

3. What is the brightest, most colorful article of clothing you actually wear once in a while?
:: Bright pink. I’m a little on the darker side so pink becomes fluorescent if hung next to me. But the color makes me happy. :)

4. What’s something you do, not because you want to or because someone’s compelling you, but because it’s the right thing to do?
:: Telling the truth.

5. What’s a food you’ll keep eating until it either runs out or someone stops bringing it to the table?
:: Chips! I can’t stop eating it especially when I see it in front of me. I have muscle memory when it comes to putting them in my mouth.
