More homes

I saw about 15 homes yesterday late afternoon and evening.  It's been great to have the stake primary president showing me homes, because she understand my situation and also knows something about the different wards where I've been looking.  I have narrowed it to two homes. 

One is a new house that is zoned to a different high school but is in the same ward, which is good and bad, since there are very few kids the ages of my older two.  The other is zoned to the same high school, which will be quite a bit more convenient for early morning seminary purposes when we cross that bridge, but is in a different ward.  It has more character and I like it better, despite the fact it's not new.  It's been well taken care of and is not a cookie-cutter home.  It's actually in my Realtor's ward, which I understand has more kids the ages of my older ones.  We may check it out tomorrow morning. 

H, sadly, seems to be abruptly done with LDS church services.  She's going to two different churches tomorrow, one an independent, megachurch she's visited a couple of times with a friend, and the other a "gay friendly" church she heard about from some lesbian acquaintances.    I've been wrong plenty of times before and wish her no ill at all, but I just don't see how H looks back five years from now and thinks her life is better than it was, say, a year ago.  OTOH, I think my life will improve immediately as soon as the divorce is final.  Hmm, never thought I'd make that statement. :-/  But I'm confident I'll be okay; I am at heart an optimist in nearly every situation.
