What Did We Do !
 
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:

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.

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 11-14-2011 02:21 PM

You'll be fine.
 
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 11-14-2011 02:30 PM

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

natickdan 11-14-2011 04:06 PM

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 11-14-2011 08:48 PM

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 11-14-2011 08:59 PM

Let it go!
 
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 11-14-2011 09:01 PM

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 11-15-2011 06:29 AM

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 11-15-2011 10:12 AM

Good luck!
 
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.
See you soon......

Congrats and I hope it winds up with a check in your hand. :)

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.

bkcunningham1 11-16-2011 12:18 PM

Congratulations!! I am so happy for you... And a little bit jealous!! We have our house on the market... and a house waiting for us in Buttonwood... But, I do believe there is always a plan.. I have been at my company for 20 years also... They do not know we have the house in The Villages!!.. Won't they be surprised!!.. Again congratulation!!! You are now starting the next chapter in your life and it will be the greatest ever... I am sure!!! I hope your move goes smoothly...:wave:

Crossing our fingers!

babs1199 11-16-2011 06:12 PM

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 11-18-2011 02:56 PM

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

Schaumburger 11-19-2011 01:53 PM

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 11-19-2011 06:01 PM

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 11-19-2011 07:43 PM

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 11-20-2011 10:20 AM

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.....
