UPDATE: We closed on the house today! It's official, today, July 10, 2014 we are now full-timers! I cried after the closing, but it was a good cry: happy, de-stressed, mad and happy. That feeling that I am 'just on vacation' has been effectively eliminated, lol.
So many years in planning and we made it.
Thank you RV-Dreams, this community has been the greatest support ever!

Now that all the stress is at least reduced, when your travels begin without any major deadlines to meet, I think things will get even better.

Congratulations Linda! I am so happy for you. Break out the champagne! I don't really like champagne, but after we close on our house, we will open a bottle. Our niece came to visit a couple of years ago and brought a bottle for us. We haven't opened it and just left it in our liquor cabinet. So, now that we are getting close to closing day, I wondered about that bottle. Is it still good? Is it a quality champagne? So, off to Google I went. Holy crap! The champagne is valued at about $160.00! We'll have to have a picture of us and the bottle to send to our niece! That was very nice of her to bring such an expensive hostess gift.

Wow...that is GREAT news...enjoy your dream. Although we will be "part time full timers" we hope to see you guys on the road! I'll be retiring next June and we will be doing Sturgis Rally in SD, then a 3-4 mos summer trip out west.
So many years in planning and we made it.
