Would you pray?

On December 15th, 2012 Thiago and I got married. And on that day the manager of Thiago's bank account assured us that we would sign the contract for our mortgage no later than January 15th. January 15th turned into January 30th. January 30th turned into "in 2 weeks." That became "next week." Every week somebody tells us, "But don't worry! By next week I'll bring the contract to you and you will sign it!" It's now been 3 months of waiting for our mortgage. The apartment is built. We've even begun paying the condominio (I don't know what that is in English, but it's to pay for the security guard and some of the utilities, etc.) The mortgage has even been approved! Yet, the contract needs to be edited... or something. And after the contract is edited, we need to sign it. But THEN we need to take the contract to the realtor and get THEM to approve it, which will probably take a few days, and then we can finally get the keys. But wait... our apartment has no flooring, no shower head, no hot water, nothing. NADA. Not even cabinets or closets. So... that will take a week or more. Once flooring is down, we're moving in. By the end of March, Thiago and I need to be completely moved out of the apartment we are currently in. That means the TV, fridge, microwave, etc have to go somewhere (and we don't know where that will be). And we also have to go somewhere. In two weeks Thiago and I will more than likely be sharing a twin-sized bed in Thiago's mom's house. That means no more crazy Friday night dates at home making fondue and watching Heroes until I fall asleep (I know, we party hard, right??). That means no more Jillian Michaels study breaks. I love my mother in law and my sister in laws and their dogs, but moving in with them is going to be so hard.
Would you pray with us? Would you pray that we can finally sign the contract? Would you pray that we can move into our apartment, our HOME, soon? Would you pray for patience and peace if/when Thiago and I move into his mom's house for a while?
I'm sharing my heart tonight because every day it gets harder. It gets harder to sit in this huge apartment with old and broken things and get no news from the bank. It gets harder every day to ask Thiago, "Any word on the bank?" and hear Thiago say, "Everything is still the same." The apartment is out of our control. The only thing that we can do now is pray and I'm asking you to please pray with us.
