So much has happened since my last posting. We closed on our home in Massachusetts on November 28 and immediately drove to our new home in South Carolina. It took 3 days of driving. The first day we stopped at my sister's home in Springfield, Massachusetts. On day 2 we stopped at about the half way point just south of Washington DC. The last day took us to our townhouse in Little River where we waited 8 long days until our furniture arrived. On December 8, we officially and finally moved into our brand newly constructed 3 bedroom 2 bath single level home at Lafayette Park in Little River, South Carolina. The whole process was stressful as we worried about our buyers, their financing, the final walk thru, the movers arriving on time, whether it would snow on our way down, getting separated on our 3 day trip, our furniture being damaged, our furniture not arriving etc etc.
Within a week, we had our Christmas tree up and decorated. It was a big one - maybe our biggest ever. Made me realize why we bought this house - the cathedral ceiling for our tree. The kids all three plus Gary arrived for Christmas. Was great to have them - made it feel more like home.
Our neighbors are really very very nice. We've had them at our place and they invited us to theirs. The weather has been fantastic - almost no rain, mostly sunny and unseasonably warm.
