I think we liked the second realtor better last night, though she wasn't any more optimistic than the first. Apparently, the economic issues have finally hit the housing market here in Toledo, and nobody's looking at houses. She did give us some good tips, though, and she just seemed nicer and more open. Sam was practically in love with her, too - trying to climb into her lap and tell her stories about his trains.

This is going to be rough. We have almost no equity in this house yet; we did 100% financing, and we've only made a few payments. Our only goal is to get out of this without getting skinned; breaking even would be awesome. Eric's asking his company today if they'd be willing to make up for a little loss if it meant that we could be in Wisconsin faster. I keep telling him that God is going to get us through this. Even if we have to accept a loss, God will get us though it.

Plans with Alysia and Steve fell through this weekend. Understandable, and we're just going to postpone and not cancel, but I'm still bummed. This isn't shaping up to be a very good pre-birthday weekend/birthday week for me. At least Alysia and I have plans to go out next Saturday for a Girls' Day Out. That'll help.

Now, I have to go write a quiz for my piano class. It will be an easy quiz for them to take, but a pain for me to write, since it will involve music reading and I'll need to use my barely-ever-touched-anymore notation software to write it. I also still have to grade the tests from Tuesday's class, as well as prepare my lecture for this week. At least this time I've got some videos on the way to spice up the class. India is neat (especially the music).
