"Senior Citizen", we are in the Salt Lake Valley. Moab is about 4 hrs away.
both my husband and I grew up in Clearwater so we KNOW what we are getting into with the heat and humidity. We have always said we would NEVER go back to Fla. And yet, here we are, as excited as newlyweds to come to TV!! Haha! (Never say "Never"!!)

We just couldn't find anyplace that offers so much for retirement living. We have worked hard, with me commuting to Ca to work for over 8 yrs now. Tired of being apart, tired of the winters and ready to begin anew!

Sidenote: we moved to Utah at 35 to raise our family and to Ski. We loved the 4 seasons and the snow and the fabulous family centered lifestyle. Skiing was a big part of our lives when we first moved out to Utah. But I blew out both knees a few years later and hubby quit skiing when I did. Not so much fun to live in Snow country when you don't ski. 8-/ We moved from the beautiful ski town of Park City into the Salt Lake Valley and probably would have stayed and "retired in place", but our 4 kids and 11 grandkids are spread out from Ca, Ut to NC and Fl. So we decided to go where WE will be happiest. And that is with you great folks at TV! We fell in love with the place and the people the first day there. Have fast forwarded our retirement plans and are as excited as kids going to Disney for the first time!!

We really appreciate all the help, advice, comments and insight received on this forum! You guys are the best!

can't wait for our design appt!!!!
