For over 5 yrs, I spent hours dreaming about living here. We visited once or twice a year and after each stay it was harder and harder to leave. Yet the minute we signed on the dotted line to buy our home all I could think was WHAT HAVE WE DONE? Now, 9 months later I can say with no hesitation, we LOVE it here. My buyers panic evaporated a few days after we moved in and we were enjoying an impromptu party with the neighbors on our cul de sac. I can't believe how lucky we are to be living here. No place is perfect, but the positives far outweigh any negatives. I think the fact that everyone has been "the new kid on the block" makes everyone much more outgoing and welcoming to newcomers. We bought a smaller house with fewer frills so we could retire sooner and still travel. We have no regrets.
