We are getting closer and closer to becoming full-timers! On the afternoon of June 16th, Nicole Readdick (our agent) placed the "for sale" sign in the front yard. On Wednesday, June 18, she called and said there were people that wanted to see our house that night at 6:15. We said, come on! That night, Nicole called and said the people really liked the house and would be making an offer the next day. Thursday, June 19th, we had a full price offer! The closing date is set for July 21st. We are another step closer to being full time RVers!
Now, we have a lot of "stuff" to get rid of. Kids, friends and grandchildren got a lot of stuff. The trash men got a lot! Useable stuff that nobody wants goes out to the road where it mysteriously disappears! We are keeping enough "stuff" to start back in a small home, if we decide the nomadic lifestyle is not for us. That "stuff" will go into an environmentally controlled storage facility. They will be here on Thursday, July 17th to take away our "stuff"! We are going to move into our RV between the 13th and 15th. Then on the 16th, we will move the RV to our local KOA campground where we will stay for about one month. After the closing, I'll work until the end of the month and, on August 1st, I will be officially retired! Dodie retired last September, so we will be free to pursue our full timing dream!
First stop" We dunno! First destination? Berryville, Arkansas. Why Berryville? That's where our daughter, son-in-law and granddaughter live. One of the advantages to being a full time RVer is the ability to visit family and we plan to do that!
You really were up at 3 am!! So happy for you guys. It's just beginning.
ReplyDeleteI think y'all are going to love full timing. We want to see a lot of pictures and stories.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to following your journey. Happy and sad at the same time, you will be missed.
ReplyDeleteHope your dreams come true and y'all enjoy it. We do like a home base, after 5 weeks on the road.
