Being a military spouse, I have a soft spot for service members.  I have a lifelong mission to help those that are serving our country in anyway that I am able to.  That's why I was happy to hear of a new piece of legislation that President Bush signed into law on July 30, 2008. 

The American Housing Rescue and Foreclosure Prevention Act is a comprehensive bill that will also protect veterans from foreclosure for up to 9 months after they have separated from active duty.  In order to qualify, the loan must  have been originated BEFORE January 1, 2008.  As of March 1, 2008, your mortgage payment must be at least 31% of your monthly income.

Have a great Saturday!

My family just loves the Summer Olympics.  We have been glued to the television since Friday.  What a spectacular opening ceremony created by the Chinese.  I hope you had an opportunity to witness the enormity, complexity, and technologically advanced show EVER! To put it in one word, it was breathtaking!

Take a look at this picture that was sent to me from Kodak.  WOW!

I hope you will take part in the Olympic Spirit over then next two weeks.  The theme, "One World, One Dream" embodies the Olympic ideals of: Unity, Friendship, Progress, Harmony, Participation and Dream.  It's a pleasant reminder in our own lives here on Oahu that it is truly one world and a dream of many for peace.

 GO! U.S.A.!
