3 days left in September

And while I know that my online rants and whines do nothing to change God's timing...
I'm really really really getting impatient.

Yesterday we saw another house that was nice enough but we'd be tied to homeschooling still (aka not in a school district I'd send my kids to). And there was a constant parade of people looking at the house all day, so there will be 30 or so competing offers and it will go with the person paying cash.

Probably.
We'll bid on it just to confirm that's the case

We're waiting on 2 other rejections as well.

And Larry found another house that appears to have a whole inlaw suite set up as a homeshool room. Which we'll see and probably bid on. Again. we'd be homeschooling there as well.

And we checked out a neighborhood way out of town but is in a good school district. But..it's wayy out there. And it will be hot in summer. it was over 90 there yesterday. And it might be a little difficult to resell it. maybe? depending on what the realestate market does in the next few years.

And of course in all this.. we don't really know where Larry will be beyond this year or next year. Civilian residency is back on the list of possiblities. in 3.5 years from now. 

Looking back.. I'm not convinced I'd suggest the HPSP program to anyone in the future. Take out the loans, go to a loan repayment site when you're done. I think you have more control over your destiny that way. And less liklihood of geting your butt blown up in Afganistan.

Hindsight may not be 20/20 but it's far better than the guessing in the dark that we've been doing.

And to add to the suspense.. our real estate agent is selling a house to a guy who will need to sell his house fairly soon if his offer is accepted in the new house. It's a 4 bedroom, 3 car garage in a convenient/decent neighborhood. If he hears he gets his new house soon, then we can proceed to try to get his old house. But that might be October by then.

Just guessing in the dark here. It's what we do best
