A sick boy and a pre-fab home

Well, this week didn't turn out to be what I had expected or planned. I was called to the school on Tuesday morning to pick up Joshua who was in the nurses office with a headache and sore throat. To be honest, I thought he was faking, because he didn't show signs of being sick when we got home. Wednesday I assumed he'd be back at school, but during the night the cough started and by the morning he had a bad cold. He ended up home all week. His teacher told me in an e-mail that "it is going around." Ah, welcome back to school....

On another note, I have been researching possible financing options for a new pre-fab home and it looks like we might be able to afford to replace our 32 year-old mobile home for a nice new one without going too far into debt. Of course "too far into debt" is all relative. This afternoon we will get to walk through a model of the home we are interested in. Here is a picture of the floor plan, if you are interested. The home will fit nicely on our lot and we may end up with a wrap-around porch that starts at the end by the dining room and goes around the side to the living room. We're hoping to make decisions about the details of our home in a couple weeks. Then, assuming the financing all comes together, we'll be packing, moving out, moving back in and unpacking between now and Thanksgiving. Some friends of ours from church have offered their recently remodeled upstairs bedrooms for us to use during this time. What a blessing and an answer to prayer.
