Congratulations on your new home. The new neighborhood's filling up real fast. Also congratulations on your retirement.

In good company
 

Wow same for us,

Wife and I sat looking at each other saying" What have we Done!

If not for all the advise comfort and re-assurance from my friends above I would not be feeling like I did a good thing!

The selling of a home, getting rid of furniture that does not fit, the tons of accumulated memories or some call it junk! Shedding a tear as the Silverado " Man Truck" gets sold because my four wheel drive toy will be replaced by a golf cart that needs the garage space.

Then Living in a strange rental for a year looking for things you either boxed up lost or threw out.

Meeting the design team draining your bank accounts etc etc is all part of the new pee wee big adventure!:)

A big life change is probably not easy...even if it is a change you have been looking forward to. When it means relocating to a different part of the country that is a big life change (at least it would be for me). But TOTV is such a helpful resource and full of so many friendly, supportive and wise people who have gone through what you are going through now.

Good luck on your move!! :wave:

Yes
 

In one word "YES".... Lived here for 17 months now, and never looked back. Life here is unbelievably good. Welcome. Sandra

Redwitch tells it "like it is"
 

Only mistake we made, was NOT coming sooner....You just won the Lottery!...Welcome

I feel like U!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We close on 11/18 in St. James on Berrington lp.

Paperboy, Congratulations, Hope your move goes smoothly. :wave:

another thought
 

I wonder if you have waited for this dream so long that you settled into a feeling of being in limbo the rest of your days and now that you have finally done it you have to revisit your original desires and move forward....Like waking up from a dream only to find that your dream came true. Congrats.

Please know that I am just a Wannabe but When I read this to my hubby he totally knew that I would have the same emotions too!

If only we could get to the place where we can sign on the dotted line !
:a040:

I agree. :agree: I will probably be a 5 year wannabee also like LvMyPug2.

Paperboy Looks like we will be neighbors. Just curious, does your screen name reflect a connection to the newspaper biz? My DH is a retired journalist

We are in Sanibel on Alee Lane....where are you? We are in New York right now coming down end of October to check out our options.

Hi
Took you 5 years, It took us 3 days and we signed on the dotted line. No regrets at all. When you find the right place to live you know it. Just sit back and enjoy the ride, you will not regret it.....

Hi.
