What Did We Do !

[babs1199]

We just had a phone call from the realtor, she is bringing an offer over....
My heart is just a pumping. My husband and I are so nervous and very happy. I just pray to God that it is a good offer and that everthing goes ok. We just may make it to the villages before the first of the year. Please say a prayer for us.... And Thanks for all the wise words...:wave::wave:

[Uptown Girl]

Imagine yourselves doing the 'happy dance' and we'll all hold positive thoughts for you!:wave:

[obxgal]

Keeping my fingers crossed that all goes in your favor and more positive thoughts coming your way.

[Pturner]

I'm sending good vibes too! Please let us know how this turns out.

[Bill-n-Brillo]

Hoping the offer is a good one!

Bill :)

[2BNTV]

My thoughts and prayers will be for a good offer. :pray:

[Trish Crocker]

It's going to be good!! Since I know first hand what January is like in Alpena....what a great time to leave :). Please keep us posted!!!

[sunflower3630]

[graciegirl]

SkyGuy...How wonderful!! I thought you had already sold your place.

Babspadget. I have my fingers and toes crossed and it is really hard to eat toast and drink coffee with your fingers crossed. Plus my toes look really funny. But I am doing everything I can.

Hoping to hear something good, no, something WONDERFUL.

Hi,
When offer comes in do what we did,looked at each other and said well we took care of everyone in our life when came first.
Now its our time to enjoy the rest of our time in The Villages.
Worked for us been here over three years and so glad we took the offer and moved on.
Hope it happens for you !!! Think of what you want !!!

Exactly...don't let the house own YOU.....

[Colorado60]

I have been coming to the Villages for 15 years to visit my in-laws and it's only getting better. Now is the right time since building will stop in 4 years. Prices for housing will continue to increase unlike the rest of the country.:wave:

[Rosemarie Adcock]

Hope it is "above and beyond all you can ask or even think" Yey!

[natickdan]

Best of luck and hoping you get an offer that is acceptable. The anticipation of waiting to find out what the "offer" is can be stressful.

[babs1199]

The realtor just left with an offer- we did counter offer, so now we are waiting to hear back... my stomache is in knots... I hope I do not get sick
(just kidding) but i am stressed. I know this is what I have been praying for so why do I feel this way ? I guess it is just not knowing what I will be doing next month !!! Thanks again for all your kind words..
Hope to see you soon !

[CarGuys]

My best friend said do you want to stay put and argue over a few thousand dollars or do you want to move on with your life.

" LET IT GO LEWIE" So we did had no regrets.

MTG rates are decent, Home prices are fair, ( For the Villages )

Best of Luck!

[bkcunningham1]

Best wishes coming your way, babspadget! I'm excited for you!

Don't worry about what you'll be doing next month if your counter offer is accepted.....Just think about being in sunshine every day and temps well above 65 for the next 6 months instead of having to shovel 2 feet of snow away from your garage door to get the snowblower out, to use it for the next hour at least, so you can try to get to work without being hit by other vehicles sliding at you.

[babs1199]

That sounds so good. I wish I was there allready ! I was up all night just thinking good thoughts ! Will let everyone know if they except the offer !
Thanks again for all your kind words !

[quirky3]

Congratulations and good luck! Hope it all goes smoothly!

Well they took the offer ! We close on Dec. 27th, now all I have to do is tell my boss, oh boy am I nervous.... I hope I don't break down and cry like a baby, I have been there for 20 years and I have loved my job.

It's natural to be nervous over such a big step but you have a lot to look forward to.

I'm sure your boss will be happy for you.

Well I did it ! I gave my notice and did not even cry.... My boss said why ?
I explained and his words were you are going to hate it .... Florida is way to hot. No use trying to explain, he had his mind made up. My last day is Dec. 23rd. We close on the 27th and will start the move after the closing. We are so excited. The movers are coming the week of the 19th. We sold the house with most of the furniture so just have my husband tools, washer/Dryer, and lots of clothes..... Way to many... Hope to see you soon.... Here we come:wave::wave:

CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU!! How exciting! At least you won't have any time to fret over anything -- you'll be too busy! Once you are all settled nicely in TV you'll wonder what took you so long. Best wishes to you, and here's to a beautiful SNOW FREE winter!!:pepper2:

[KEVIN & JOSIE]

:a040::MOJE_whot:This is the one...no more :cold:, so start living and do the :pepper2:, happy dance!

[Schaumburger]

Congratulations as you start the transition to your new life in TV. You have a busy 5 weeks coming up. Hope your move to TV goes smoothly! :wave:

[Turtlediver]

So happy for you and so jealous at the same time...Hoave our house for sale.....hope we have ths same story to tell soon.....everyone send us haapy thoughts,,,it's a long haul in this market

[ilovetv]

Congratulations!!!!!!!

Now ignore all the naysayers who say it's too hot or too buggy or it's a bunch of old people. THEY are the "old people" set in their ways and unwilling to try something different and fun. They're no fun at all.

[babs1199]

Thanks everyone for all the great wishes.... We have allready started to pack, I had no idea that we had so much.. I had three closets full of clothes !
Not sure what to pack, way way too much...
Can't wait, five weeks to go and we will be in TV for good... I hope we meet some nice people (I am sure we will) A little scared as we do not know anyone there. Hope to meet all of you once we are there. Looking forward to meeting Gracie as she is such a breath of fresh air....
Well iam running my mouth a bit so I will close for now... Happy Thanksgiving to everyone.....

You are welcome anytime at our house. It will be frantic and then wonderful.

We are waiting with welcoming hugs, cookies and coffee or maybe a touch of something stronger.

You did the right thing, it is so hard for dedicated responsible people to make the move but you will be so loved here too.

Wish I had a dollar for every person who told us just how much were gonna hate it in Florida. I guess time will tell.

Congratulations and Happy Holidays

Words of wisdom!!!

babspaget:

If he/she was not happy for you, it is not worth staying and working for someone who truly does not have your best interest at heart.

Your bosses words would have told me it was time to move on.

All the anxiety about moving will die down and then you can stop worrying and be happy.

CONGRATULATIONS!
May the next phase of your life be all you wish for!

You may still miss the seasons but can always go back and visit.
We have been in FL for seveb years this week but am fortunate to spend 4 months back in Harbor Springs, MI.
Our second home or anyones for that matter is an expense especially when only used for 4 months. Actually so os FL for only living in it for 8 months.
No rush but we do talk about going to 1 home someday and that will be back to MI!
We would then travel; visit kids in TX and save lots of $$$.
FL is nice but too hot and humid from June through Oct.
