Default From a dream to a reality!

We finalized the mover this morning and will be loading up on September 17th for our permanent move to TV. Our journey began with our "love at first sight" visit in April 2005. Although we may sleep on an air mattress on the 17th, we will at least be in OUR HOME, in our new HOMETOWN!

Having read, with excitement, so many posts over the years about others announcing they were on their way, we now get to post our excitement. It's OUR TURN and couldn't be more happy.

The stress and work to get to this point will all be worth it when we "kiss the ground" when we arrive.

See y'all in two weeks and four days!!!!!!!!!

Thank you all!!! Don't know why my screen got blurry, but I feel your "pat on the back" and warm wishes. Am so grateful for the tremendous help and information shared on TOTV that has helped us so much.

Bill, your suggestion to give Brightway a try saved us a lot of money. THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!!! I can't wait to meet y'all when you come down next!

I worked for a great boss from "West By God Virginia"! Love your state! Thanks for the welcome! We're absolutely as giddy as kids! Best of luck with the building of your new home!

Thanks and I'll be praying for that safe trip too! Love the quote in your post. Heroes do wear dog tags! When we meet, be sure to ask me about the nightly ritual of our yorkie and my MIL. Heartwarming.

Thanks so much 2B. After all we've been through to get to this point, the trip down will be as careful as if we were carrying the crown jewels!

Congratulations and come on down - hope TV exceeds your expectations as it did mine. Have been here since June and keep wondering when I am going to wake up from this dream!
