I forget where you are in the US, but selling the house will depend greatly on your market. We managed to get our sold in less then 75 days, but I live in an area that is in constant change, right near an Army installation. Selling can be challenging and tough to get through, good luck. Yep, I'll be serving time at Fort Leavenworth, on the outside of the bars, not the inside.

Closest major roads are Maplewoods Parkway and NE 96th Street, north of 152 Beefche I know what neighborhoods we looked in. Mostly neighboorhoods along highway 152 and we're pleased with what we got. I guess it depends on what you're looking for and where you need to be within the city.

I'll be moving to KC in the next month. Just wondering who are those here that are in the KC area and if any will be my neighbors. I see Miztrniceguy will be close by, I'll be living in the Northland.

My biggest problem with the Scouting program is how it's run in certain places. Currently in my ward the 12-14 year old category of male youth is 3. 3 total boys in the Boy Scouts program-there are more in the 14-16 (teachers and Varsity Scouts) and a couple in the 16-18 (Priests & Venturers). How does a boy have any leadership positions in a "troop" of 3?? Since it's not looked upon favorably to consolidate all ages of boys into one troop (imagine younger boys learning from the older ones....novel concept) because they are separated by age and Priesthood level, nor is it agreeable to combine my ward's 3 boys with another wards 4 boys to combine to at least a fair sized patrol. The local council here doesn't stock items for Varsity or Venturer programs, the only registered ones they have are the LDS ones, not a large enough population to justify the inventory. As such the Varsity & Venture programs are non exsistant in the three wards in our area. Scouting effectivly stops at 14 for youth here. I'm one of those that pushed hard to earn my Eagle as quickly as possible, I acheived it at 13, went on to get 5 Palms, with as little help from my ward as possible. I wasn't in the correct Deacon's quorum leadership positions to get a leadership position for rank advancement with my ward, so I went to my grandfather's stake & ward to become a Den Chief. Because that ward had a really active Varsity program, the focus there was on earning the Varsity letter and all pins possible, those that didn't succeed in rank advancement and merit badges before they turned 14, didn't succeed in getting their Eagle. Of the 35 boys in my "friend" range (my age, one year older & younger) only two managed to get their Eagle, both of us before we hit 14 and moved to the next mandatory fun program.

Several things will impact your trip. Time of the season, you stated that your going the end of the month, unless it's spring break someplace, there is a good chance there won't be many crowds and the use of FastPass will not be necessary (or even offered). Plan events that you don't want to miss, fireworks, parades, live shows and make adjustments accordingly. Where you stay can impact your trip also. Last trip to Disneyland, my family stayed in hotels right across the street from the park, not Disney Hotels but within walking distance. We had food in the room, walked across the parking lot to get to the park. We could take the little ones back for a nap if needed and if we really didn't want Disney park food, could go there to eat. However I do recommend the Turkey Legs, they are just awsome. Have fun

Can you afford to maintain your student status till graduation with a dual major? Will you actually fail the class or fail to achieve minimum course requirements ie get a C or better?
