Default New meaning to Counting the Days

After counting down to retirement and our move, we are closing on our new home in Fernandina today! It has been a whirlwind of planning, organizing, downsizing, packing, and sad goodbyes to my friends in Houston. So far EVERYTHING has gone as planned. We'll be working on our list of things to get done until our furniture arrives and then I'm sure we'll be overwhelmed with boxes to unpack. TOTV has been a great asset during this process and I thank everyone for sharing their experiences and keeping us updated along the way with posts, PM's, pictures, and phone calls. Now we'll be counting the "Frog Days" with our new friends - which I'm so looking forward to meeting!

Congratulations! We are also counting down the days until retirement and moving into our home in TV (we both have countdown calendars hanging in our offices and an app on our phones). I agree, TOTV has been such a great help to us in our choosing of services and general advice about TV.

Congrats to you Countin! How exciting! I also have to agree with you regarding all the invaluable information and informative posts here on TOTV! I close on Dec 5th and am also counting down the time! It is just 28 here in Chicago this morning so I am ready to start anew! Looking forward to having old friends visit and new friends on the horizon! Best of luck and enjoy your paradise!

Congrats to you; wish you the very best in your new home. Where are you in Fernandina? We are also planning to build in that village, but have a longer wait till my husband's retirement date to become frogs. Sounds like you're enjoying every moment of this transition. Looking forward to meeting someday.
