OMG OMG OMG!!! I’m so excited!! I can NOT believe we are only 50 days away from moving to South Carolina! And now there is only 28 days from finalizing the sale of our PA home. I really need to do more packing!!The stress of all of this has been killing me at times.
It’s funny with every step of the way, we get so pumped up. What a rush of emotions. I worked like a fiend getting the house ready for showing. I remember how excited we were just putting the house on the market. Then once again with our first showing, then the first offer and so on.
This weekend we are making our way down South to finally look at houses. I’ve only been reviewing the listings since February, lol. Daily! And now we are going to actually look to make a decision. I feel like I already know the whole area down there. In some ways I feel like we are really cutting it close, but other days it seems so far away. Either way, I’m super stoked we will have everything packed, stored and delivered through PODS.
You know, now that I'm thinking about it, in some ways this will be our easiest move yet. No back and forth with every little item getting things moved from point A to B over the course of a week.
I love looking at homes, by the way. It’s been 8 years since we’ve had to look and we were so lucky to find the perfect house right out of the gate! I don’t even remember looking at any other houses when we bought this one.
Buying this house was the beginning of a new chapter in both of our lives. We were married a week before closing. At the time, with both of us working at the state, just selling our previous houses and no other outstanding financial obligations involving our previous marriages we still used caution when figuring out the size of mortgage. That decision allowed us to stay on track, not rack up debt and even make advanced payments on our house.
And now, here we go again. Selling this house, no real debt and making it all work on our retirement pensions. Our smart choices 8 years ago have rally payed off! This means any salary we pull in down south, will make a nice addition to our savings. And no pressure in wondering how we’ll make it! It’s a good feeling!
This is also the first time Sam, Sammy and Sarah will be living in another state other than Pennsylvania. And even though I’ve traveled so much as a child, it’s the first time in 37 years for me, so I feel just as excited moving!
