Sbrooks1, you're gonna drive yourself bonkers worrying. B-R-E-A-T-H-E... R-E-L-A-X......
I'm not a law person, but doesn't a dismissed with prejudice means it can't be brought back to court - it's a done deal. So I would think that would be a good thing. Don't go digging stuff up and waking up the monsters in the closet, so to speak. Let sleeping dogs lie. IF something comes up, you will likely be able to either explain it in a letter to the lender or handle it. While the process is working it way through the normal channels...take a look around your current place and see if there is anything else you can pack "EARLY" 
Bring on the good karma!
I hear ya, but remember... for every horror story of something that didn't go right, there are 100 untold stories of things that went great!. 
Truth be told, I'll probably be 75% packed before I even get the PRE-APPROVALS in my hand. I can see it now...me living with boxes...everywhere...for MONTHS!

...and given the sneaky ways of my ex - I'll have crap popping up out of nowhere that I knew absolutely nothing about. Then I'll be digging through my packed up boxes and tripping all over them trying to find proof of this, that and the other...Oh, I can just see it. LMBO...it's gonna be grand!...
PS...I hope that made you laugh and took the stress down a bit.
