Since you've been gone, I have some news. We bought a gorgeous home on Tuesday, and will be moving the 1st of August. It's not what I had considered a "starter" home, it looks like something I'd expected to trade up to. We went shopping for a refrigerator and other kitchen stuff today. The kitchen appliances all need upgrades, but that's minor. I'm thrilled! I'll have magnolia trees, a redwood, citrus trees, apple, and other lovely stuff in the yard.
