Default Just moved into Gilchrist!

Tuesday, after 10 long years of dreaming about living here, we finally made the move and we couldn't be happier. We have met a couple of our neighbors and one of them helped us unload the truck! The house is in order, most of the boxes are empty and we are ready to begin a new chapter in our lives! Looking forward to meeting new friends & new adventures! It's a dream come true!







Hopkins, Mi and Vero Beach, Fl

Congratulations on your new home. Hope you'll be very happy. I'll be there in about 3 weeks.

My husband and I bought in Gilchrist as well...Unit 209 on Amherst. We settled in December but won't do our final move until the end of June. I think you'll find Gilchrist very welcoming and pretty much awesome.

Enjoy!

Got our closing package from the guy in brown shorts yesterday. Signing / notarized tomorrow and send back. As of Wednesay, it'll be ours.

I know your excitement. We are on Regency and also cannot wait to get back there.

Hello Gilchrist neighbor. I just moved in last week and am still unpacking. I understand there is a Gilchrist social group meeting and would like to find out more about it, where, when, etc. I hope to meet some of my Gilchrist neighbors really soon.

I hope to meet my neighbors real soon as well. I move in on Wednesday/Thursday and I'm dead tired from packing. It's all good though. The end will, hopefully, justify the means. Meet you soon.

Welcome to the neighborhood!!! If you'd like to read the entire history of Gilchrist please check out the thread "New Villagers in Gilchrist". I started this thread in July of 2012 and pretty much describes the growth of GillyLand. Our GillyBrations and other get togethers are posted in this location. I think you'll find that you've moved into the greatest neighborhood in TV.
