The summer has flown, but I'm pleased to say we've met our primary goal of feeling at home in the new house and neighborhood. We continue to meet nice neighbors of all ages, or get to know them better, every week, and are pretty enthused with the church we've found. It was frankly an incredibly stressful, arduous process to buy and sell houses in a coordinated way, so if we did have buyers' regret at this pont, we'd probably be pretty bitter! The process pushed our organizational skills and physical stamina to the limit, along with presenting some parenting challenges helping the kids transition. Just ask my husband and kids how crabby I got at times, if you don't believe me.
At work, I know lots of elders with the urge to move, but many are not comfortable with the internet (for housing research, getting rid of things, and more), and physically aren't up to all the labor involved in moving. Some feel stuck as a result. If anyone's looking for a new non-profit concept, it would be free/sliding fee moving management. There's plenty of pricey help available, but so many can't afford it.
Happy late summer to all. May you find yourself in a safe, positive home, whatever it is.
