....someone asked why guys, as a rule, get on board to move to TV sooner than gals. I think one of the reasons is the kids. Now mind you, I do have a career but my kids are the biggest gift to me. My husband adores the kids too but it is just easier for him to think of moving away. Now that being said, we have thought all of this through and for us, it is a go anytime the circumstances come together.

We looked at having 2 homes but really don't want the hassle and the expense. With that in mind, that lead us to make the decision that it would be ok to move. We have decided to get the least expensive home we could stand to live in (mind you my daughter has 4 kids under 5 - she has adopted- so the house could not be too small.....because I want the FLA home to be comfortable and open to the fam as well.

Also by buying the least expensive home....we hope to go back to Indiana to be with the kids a couple of times a year....who knows we may have to rent or stay in hotels while up north...and we know the retirement budget will have to accomodate this.
