The movers came yesterday and pulled out with the rest of our belongings. It was sad doing the final walk through of our now empty house and pulling out of the driveway for the last time but exciting because we know what we have waiting for us.
We will be saying goodbye to our friends this weekend and heading out for our new life in The Villages.
The last month has been emotionally draining but we are ready for a new chapter in our lives with new friends we will meet and lots of fun activities that we will finally have time to enjoy!

Wishing you all the best with your new life! Your shared experience gives us strength...thank you! Hopefully we will meet someday!
