Change is often difficult, but can be a wonderful thing.

I'm sure you had a good reason to make this change, and, given a little time your new place will be "Home", and the old place will be a fond memory.

[bongobobny]

Very understandable my friend!

Did you get a bigger or at least same size garage? That is the important thing in life, right under keeping the misses happy.

[ragtop69gs]

When we go, that's our goal... smaller house, bigger garage and hopefully no close neighbors !

wife was offered a store to run, and my contractors license is state, she'll move soon, and I have to stay in the area a few months to finish up work. I'll travel north on the weekends. about 140 miles north of the old house. Vero Beach

I can so relate Brake Pad,, went thru it a few years ago.. All I can say is it just takes time to settle in..

Congrats on the new home!!

Congrats on making a move! It will take some time to settle , but it might help to remember that your old home will just be a house when youre gone, and when you get settled the new place in short order it will be a home with you and your wifes loving touches and memories.

Its the hard work we put into this house, the letting go. we built this house to live in for the rest of our lives, everything, perfect. better then a model home. the best of everything.

okay, I'm going back to:bawling::bawling:

We moved into our "5 year" house in 1991. Later got married.

9 years ago we made an addition from 1550 to 2077 sq feet which included an 18'x34' game room (lot's of stained wood and windows) with 8' pool table and a screen porch. We think we'll keep it.

 

Will move,,, maybe when we win the lottery.

As strange as it sounds we have had similar feelings on a couple of cars we have traded in in the past! It's like it is thrilling to get the new one but the old one was full of great memories as well! (We buy another as soon as the old one is paid for) I have had the same feelings through life moving from one place to another when it was time to start a new chapter in life...

I was told yesterday we need to be out by the 30th of april. this pushes my trip back to NJ. I just hope my Mom, will last that long ( the doctors gave her, 6 to 8 weeks ) the Cancer has spread that fast

Sorry to hear that!

We bought our "starter" house a couple years after we got married. Decided at about 19 years we wanted something different, with everything on one floor, no more steps. We found this 4 bedroom 2 bath in Richmond for far less than it would have cost in Lexington, and jumped on it. After sitting on the other house for 21 months we decided to get busy and sell it, I placed a "For Sale by Owner" sign in the front yard. 4 weeks later we had a contract on it. Yes it was bittersweet to sell, but knowing that I can remove that money from the bank on Monday and pay this on off is quite the comfort. Wonder if I sold it too cheaply??

Happy for you in regards to the house. Hope it is a good change for you both. Sorry to hear about your mom.
