It's the house I currently live in. It has a nice sized yard. We all like it here. The house has a few quirks that we've managed to adapt to. The pros more than make up for the cons.

It feels like I have closure, finally. This was the one thread that kept me attached to my old life, whether I wanted it or not.

What's really odd is that as soon as I decided to say "To hell with it. I can't keep waiting on him to take care of his end of the situation. I'm going to figure out how to buy a house on my own, VA benefits or not" that's when things starting moving in a positive direction.
