1500 prisoners from the Phillipines re-enact the Thriller video

That's where we are right now. We've been in Wichita the last several days meeting w/the realtor trying to decide what we want to do. We've vacillated a lot, crunched a lot of numbers, seen many houses and most recently decided to put a bid in on a house. We're not sure they'll accept it (though we hope they do!) but need to be prepared to make plans if they don't.

This process has been incredibly stressful and I can't imagine doing this again until Blake's out of school. What a logistical nightmare it is trying to sell a house, buy a house, enroll kids in school, commute back and forth repeatedly, etc. Andy and the kids were all sick at some point this week, we're all tired and all stressed. Nicki is the reason that we're even able to get anything accomplished. She's had our kids everyday that we've been in Wichita for pretty much the whole day. She's made sure we have eaten, makes sure to get documentation we need, inquires about things on our behalf, etc. She's a saint!

We're taking a break from our days in Wichita and have scattered for some down time. We'll meet back up in Wichita on Sunday for Andy to start his job on Monday. Things change daily so I'll try to update again when we know something for sure.
