Default Finally made it

After 5 years of visiting friends as well as taking advantages of the Life Style Packages, we finally bought a place in TV this February. Last December we made a bid on a pre-owned home but lost out on a bid. This January we decided on a new home and closed the following month. In 20/20 hindsight, I think this was better. The most difficult part was to convince my wife that she will enjoy it too. Luckily our son's move from NY to Orlando made her make up her mind. Also, heavy snow storm in 2010 around DC area with no electricity for 3 days did the trick. She still won't let me pack up and move yet so 13 hour "commute" will prevail for a while. We'll take auto train this go around. Hurrah, at least, I am doing this for real. No more snow shoveling for me.
