We had actually planned to try and move this past summer after S19 graduated HS. He was going to stay with friends on visits so these breaks are bonus time for him since we are still around. All 3 of our kids are 1000 miles away now. I was pretty vocal that we stayed through HS but have been making plans for a few years.
DH’s job search is taking longer than hoped but everything else is ready to fall in line immediately after that. Storage unit has several packed boxes and extra furniture. House fix ups almost finished. I’ve talked to realtors and researched moving companies, multiple cities, housing and teaching openings for me.
D25 is married and S18 is a college sophmore. This will probably be our last Christmas here. Little bittersweet but really excited to move someplace warmer and closer to kids and family.
We are both ready to start new jobs and begin a new lifestyle. This is the first time we have ever been together with no kids. D25 was 3 when we met. I am also ready to downsize from the extra rooms we don’t need anymore.
Good luck with your plans!
