The build started a couple of weeks ago and we eagerly anticipate every picture we are sent on the progress (anyone who wants to add more, our address is 1877 Claverton in Buttonwood! - go over and see the amazing speed they have!) We close October 14th - which is a challenge because we will actually be in Hawaii (a long planned vacation!) at the time - we just will have EVERYTHING in place before then.
We had thought to use the house occasionally till the end of 2011 when Cliff would retire BUT Pfizer is reorganizing and his job is being eliminated (actually, his is the only one!) Too bad, so sad!! 
Soooo... I am giving my notice today so that we will be able to head down there in January. We still have the house up here and will get it ready to put on the market in the spring (we are already starting to de-clutter and I am saying goodby to alot of "things" knowing I will always have the memories to cherish.
We know we will be back and forth for a while but we are, oh, so excited about our decision! 
Wish me luck today!   |
We both retired early and because of that, less money. We have been here three months now and are very happy with our decision to do it now. We love everything about the Villages.
