While we discussed lots of reasons, the two main ones are a) we didn't have a clue that we would love TV this much and b) just got cold feet faced with the prospect of selling our home, packing up, leaving family and friends, etc.

Did this happen to anyone else and did you come back more prepared and buy a home? Or were you glad/sad you did/didn't buy? We still unsure because now we're kinda down.
We have been visiting TV for 4 years now because my brother lives there. DH has been in love with the place since he first saw it and I am the big hold out. We visited again 2 weeks ago and I am no longer holding out, time is a fleeting. We have been Bradenton, Fl. Snowbirds for past 5 years in a resort park with many activities, now we don't have that in our condo here in Ohio and poor dh is missing that big time. I have read and reread everything I can get my hands on. This is a major decision to move away from family & friends but they are big kids now and they can come south and enjoy. July 25 is our Lifestyle visit, wanted ugly ugly weather. If I can handle the heat we will go from there. Every day my emotions are in a different place and I think this whole process is good, means you are sorting things out and not jumping in with your heart.

Wishing you well,
Nanc
