Things have been more than a little crazy here. We put our house on the market two weeks ago and got an offer on Tuesday! We close on the 20th of this month, so we are scrambling to pack up and figure out where we are going next. We have been looking for a while, but still have not found exactly what we are looking for. It seems we will most likely end up building, so we are going to rent for a while.
We found a house to rent down the street from Molly's school, but it isn't available until next month and I think we will need to do a little work to clean it up before we can move it (the rent is a steal, so we are willing to do a little ourselves). We can walk to Molly's school and there is another family down the street that we are becoming friends with and their son is in Molly's class.
Molly is doing well, but still is not feeling up to standing for more than a couple of minutes. She has been complaining of a lot of aches and pains and we realized she is due for her Pamidronate soon (the IV medication), so hopefully a lot of those issues will go away once she gets her medicine. The buyer is getting our hot tub, so we will be without that form of relief for the next several months, which will be hard.
Molly is definitely feeling a little bit out of sorts with all of the changes taking place. She doesn't want Jim or I to be more than a few feet away and is still having some issues with me leaving her at school, but that seems to be getting a little bit better.
We are all over the place with what we want/need in our next house. The thought initially was to get/build a ranch w/1 bedroom upstairs for guests. We then starting thinking about building one with one bedroom suite down and then having the rest of the downstairs be living space, but from talking to other parents they assured me that Molly would be going up the stairs to see what was happening and that no matter what whatever was happening upstairs would be where she wanted to be. So... we are back to thinking a ranch is best, so we will probably end up building and now it is a matter of finding a lot that isn't right under the airplanes, near the highway or so small you can touch your neighbors house. Let the adventure begin!

Oh my goodness! We understand the house hunting thing, as we are looking for that perfect place too! I have decided that if we get a 2 story, we will add a bedroom downstairs for Sonya and that for the curious times we could always add a chair lift to the staircase if needed. It's so much to think about isn't it?! I'm glad to hear that Molly is doing well and standing for a few minutes at a time! I think she'll be feeling great once she gets her PAM! It's amazing the difference it makes! Good luck house hunting!!!
