So, I thought things could only get better after all of the bs over the house and mortgage…I was wrong. My cousin was hit and killed by a truck last night while has was walking along the road. He was 23 and has a 1 year old daughter. He and I we’re not very close, but I feel terrible for his girlfriend, daughter and parents. He was far too young to die. RIP Jonathan Anderkovitch. And the icing on the cake…Someone stole a package off the porch of our house. We haven’t closed or moved in yet. Thinking we would be living there already, I had something shipped there. It wasn’t supposed to be delivered yet, but I checked the tracking info and it said it was delivered on the 19th. So Dom went over there this morning to pick it up, and found an empty box. The packing slip was even gone. I’m thinking they might try to return it for the money. It was three sets of dishes, which cost about $200. I paid for them using a giftcard I got as a wedding gift, so at least it wasn’t money out of my pocket. I guess I’ll call our homeowners insurance agent and see about filing a claim. I’m worried it might be a problem since we haven’t closed on the house yet though. I just can’t wait for this month to be over. ---

I hate when bad things happen to good people. Sorry for your loss on both accounts. If you guys ever need anything, I’d be happy to help however I can. Dom’s always been a stand-up guy to me and I hope the best for you both. ---

Thanks everyone. We are buying a house in Penn Hills. My stepdad and father in law didn’t like the neighborhood when they saw the house, but I didn’t think it was too bad. Hopefully this won’t become a recurring problem. ---

Thanks everyone. Tomorrow will be a rough day, we are finally going to close on our house so I will be happy about that but Jonathan’s funeral is tomorrow also.
