We went out and looked at some other houses last night.  It helped us confirm that we really like the one that is by the community college.  We made more progress toward getting the purchase worked out.  In the meantime, we have been working to keep up with homeschool, exercise, music lessons, etc., etc.  After the house purchase either works out or falls through, life will be way busier than will allow me to write much, but it should all be over one way or the other in a few more days.
