OUCH, you judge me based on one post?

......Thanks everyone else for the very thoughtful replies.
I think renting is a great option and probably the way we will go.
There is much wisdom on this board , that's just what I was seeking.
Thanks again
Some tend to do that here! You will make friends right here on TOTV (I did). Come for a Lifestyle Visit for a week. Plan it around the 3rd Friday of the month. That is when people here on this forum meet at Crispers at 3pm. You will meet folks from this forum in person, and feel like you've been friends already. Meeting people is the easiest thing to do in TV. Attend any activity, visit a recreation center and just tell whoever you bump into, "hi, we are here for the first time. Do you live here?" People love sharing the joys about their new "hometown". Making friends was not a worry we had. Plus, there are probably people in TV from your hometown you can connect with immediately.

Yes, moving is a challenge, but after you visit and decide to move. . .everything that qualifies as "work" or "a pain" will be worth every moment, because you will be moving to "lower paradise" and can truly enjoy each precious day the Lord gives us! Leaving friends and family can get emotional. We are preparing to leave our 27-year old son, my brother, our lifelong friends, and a wonderful church and a loving, caring Sunday School class. But, they are all happy for us. Anyone who doesn't support you is doing you a disservice, or are envious. Either way, decide what's best for you and don't let anything or anyone stand in your way.

We are moving within a month or so, and it has been a 7-year journey. Are we excited? YOU BETCHA!!

Come join us and -
