"Between us," David sighs heavily from a long day at work.

I nod, leaning in closer.

It took several months for David to find the house of his dreams. It was a two-story, more-than-he-wanted-to-pay-for personal castle. He worked out a few credit stumbles and he signed countless paperwork for his $200,000 mortgage. He joked that they may as well have drawn blood from his very arms. 

"It was the day of closing and I found out I needed to pay $400 in closing costs. I wasn't expecting to pay anything," he sighs. He didn't know how he was going to come up with $400 at the last minute -- he was tapped dry and it was a week away from payday. His closing had been pushed back three times and he wanted to close on this house so much. His lease was up on his apartment, his boxes were packed andhis wife and two kids were anxious to move.

He asked his supervisor for an advance on his paycheck. But, his supervisor couldn't find their boss to approve it. So, his supervisor pulled out her checkbook and wrote him a personal check for $400 to help him have his closing. So thankful and relieved, he promised to pay her back.

"I may reach in my pockets," he shows me his empty pockets. But, he says, "I am surrounded by angels."       

Now, he is moving in. He can't wait to just collapse with relief on his bed. He says, "We're tired, but it's a good tired."
