So the idea of ever moving from our current Villages house is low.
Yeah this is our third home since we moved in together, 34 years ago. The first was a condo. The second was a house one town away from the first.

We come from families who live in their homes for decades. My parents bought our family home in 1960, we moved in on my first birthday in 1961. It remained our family home for a little over 30 years, when they finally retired and moved to Florida. Mom died in the house they retired in, this past year. Dad's still there.

I moved around a lot during college and the few years after that, but that was the nature of college and wanting to learn 'how' to be independent.
