Oh what a blessing!  we are going to be able to buy a home for cash in Pennsylvania.  We will be going up in about 3 weeks to look around.  We are planning on actually moving the week of Thanksgiving - well the children and I.  Dh has to stay probably until after Christmas because of work.  I can't wait to have my own home that I can do what I want to the area that will be our classroom.  No more worrying about every little thing because we have landlords.  (Don't get me wrong - our current landlords are everything a person could hope for).  It's just not our house! 

I can't wait to set up the book shelves, maybe get either a chalkboard or whiteboard, and everything else to put our mark on the house. 

Plus maybe it will help the children to know the house is ours!
