Default 3 years ago today..

3 years ago today on a rainy day, we pulled into TV with both cars loaded, and one very unhappy Maggie cat. The day before, we closed on our home in IL and headed for TV. Our furniture was in storage, we didn't know if we would buy or build. We just knew that we wanted this to be our new forever home.

Our friends and family thought we were nuts. We had only been here for 3 days that March. We went back, sold most things, sold the house, and left the only town we had lived in after college.

Almost every day, we pat ourselves on the back for our decision. We have met so many dear people, some we now call friends. We are both more active and involved in different things than we thought possible.

I guess this is for all of you future newbies, come on down. You won't regret it...except perhaps not getting rid of more of your "stuff" before you move.
