Fast forward to our Dream come true!
 
My husband and I came to visit The Villages for the first time 5 years ago. We LOVED The Villages but at that time retirement seemed so far away! Fast forward - We closed on our house in Hemingway today, and are over the top excited. Full time retirement begins in November :)))

Welcome new residents and new posters.
 
I am so happy to hear your good news. I hope you will continue to post and tell us about your settling in and what activities you enjoy most.

You have made the right choice.

Hope to meet you both soon!!

Dave and Sue:

:welcome: to TOTV.

I am sooooo happy to hear your dream is coming true. It gives a wannabee like me hope that it will happen for me soon.

Best wishes on your move. Keep on posting to inform us of your progress.

I'm so happy for you!

We are still waiting for our home to sell and we will be there too.

Rock out and enjoy your hard work, it's time to play in The Villages.

Congratulations! We are going to be newbies as well. We are still in a state of semi shock. We never heard of The Villages until a friend told us they were looking there. So we got online to take a look. That was in January. We went there in Feburary and bought a house the second day we were there. Talk about a major life change happening in a blink of the eye. We both loved it, got a beautiful Courtyard Villa and are doing nothing now except for packing and more packing. Everyone says to get rid of everything you don't need and they are 150% right, but darn that is hard to do! LOL
We wish you nothing but the best, don't drive yourselves too nuts packing (it seems endless) and keep your eye on the new house. We are in Buttonwood and hope to meet you down there.

:wave:Dave and Sue,

It is always exciting to look forward to something that seems so far in the future that it'll never get here-- and then for the day to come.

When that something is TV, guess what? The excitement never ends!! I'm so happy for you.

:MOJE_whot::crap2::coolsmiley::a040::ho:

May be rest of your life be the best of your life!

Love,
Pturner

:welcome: Ladydoc,

All best wishes to you too! :MOJE_whot::beer3:

Thank you for all the good wishes everyone! We drove down yesterday towing a uhaul with enough "stuff" (bed, linens and wine) that we could be comfortable in the house. Will be heading back to Atl on Saturday :(((
