Getting ready for the move (moving sucks) has kept me and my mind busy, but when things quite down at night I lay in bed with my mind racing thinking have we done the right thing or are we being selfish. I know many of you must have felt this way, how did you work through it?

We, too, are now in the process of packing our stuff out of our home of 35 years and packing it all into our POD parked in our driveway. Both my husband and I are getting very emotional about it. He has wanted this move to TV for 14 years and he finally convinced me and now he is having guilt. We have 2 daughters and they both feel sad over this, but 1 daughter has 2 boys, our 2 grandsons, ages 4 and 20 months... and feels exceptionally upset. One of our grandsons is very very close to my husband and its making all of us feel sad and guilty and at the same time we love TV and can't wait to get our new home which will close on Jan. 18. We keep telling them we will return home (CT) often to visit and they will come and see us. We hope that is helping us all cope. We too feel as u do about feeling selfish but we have worked hard all our lives and are ready to leave the snowy winters, high oil prices, higher taxes etc. Lord, help us all. We keep telling ourselves it will all work out. We have friends that now live in TV and are from where we live and it worked for them and they LOVE it. So let's just rejoice and move forward! Good Luck to you...
