I think yesterday was somewhat of a breakthrough day in terms of coming to an understanding about where we want to live and how we want to go about getting a house. Right now, we are looking at a 5.99 acre lot in McKinney, Texas that would be affordable to us to buy, even if we do not have the house sold in Oregon. Our thought is that we could buy the lot and whether we use it or not, it will be a great investment. It is close to shopping, close to a community college, and in a neighborhood. It might be completely different than we are expecting, but it seems like a good option right now. We will not know until we look at it.
Homeschool is ramping up a little bit more slowly than I really would have liked, but we are doing better. I made a morning, afternoon, and night schedule for each of the kids that will accompany their detailed daily schedules. I think I can modify it to be better, but as it sits now, things are falling through the cracks and not getting done. In addition to the fact that we are still getting used to our new place, I think the amount of work we are doing keeps increasing as we find new cool stuff to do. I need to evaluate that and make sure the load is not too great.
