I finally got some good news on the house buying front. They moved our appraisal up to Wednesday the 16th so we are 2 weeks ahead of schedule. We still likely wont close by the end of the month like we had hoped, but it's getting closer. I've started packing up boxes of things that I don't need to see for a while to get them out of my way. I'm going to have so much space I wont know what to do with it once we are in the house!
