[Hoosiervillager]

I'm so excited. I've been a lurker on these boards for a few months but never posted anything. Now we've signed a contract to buy a new villa. We'll be down for the closing on 7/30 and stay for 2-3 weeks buying furniture and settling in. I've been having so much fun shopping for linens and kitchen items. I'm not sure our car will even hold everything I've bought. My DH has reminded me several times that there are stores in Florida where I can buy everything but I just couldn't wait to get started.

I work Jan - April so we will be renting out our villa during those months but then trying to spend as much time as we can in The Villages the other months. However, there are grandsons in Chicago so I can't be in Florida for long periods of time!

I've gotten TONS of information from these boards that have helped tremendously. But I will probably have some more questions in the next couple of weeks.

Thanks to all of you for helping out the newbies here!
