I posted earlier about my frustrations with the whole house hunting process and I just want everyone to know that I'm okay now.  I've decided to delay buying at the moment.  I'll still look, but it may take up to six months or even longer to decide to search and buy again.  Mom and I have decided that I need time to pay off my medical bills and we want to see how dad does with his surgery on December 13th. 

He and mom will stay with my sister in Bluffdale, where his therapy takes place, until he's no longer progressing.  When he stops progressing with therapy the therapists will stop coming so that's when we'll re-evaluate the whole house hunting decision.  He may get better with stairs too, which would allow us to stay where we are and that would be fine too.  We like living where we live.  The plan for now is for me to stay where I am and they'll stay where they are.  If dad can do stairs he'll come home to this place and if he can't, we'll buy a home or rent a place that suits our needs.  That's the plan!  I feel good about this decision.  It was a good experience to search and see what I can afford.  It's helped me to see what is involved in buying a home too so it hasn't been a waste of time.  I've learned a lot.  It's just not the right time.

I need to thank my sister-in-law for all she's done for me.  She's been helping me during this whole house hunting experience and in other things too, and I just want to tell her that I love her and that I'm glad she's my sister.  When she first came into our family I think I fell in love with her before my brother did.  She's basically a wonderful big sister and she guides me and loves me no matter what and supports me in whatever I do.  I know of friends who talk of how crazy and annoying their sister-in-laws are.  I really feel fortunate to have such a great one.  I love you Saroya!  Thanks for being there for me!  You have always been special to me and I'm very grateful that you are in our family!
