The seller just accepted our offer, we should be moving in the first week of August. I LOVE this house!!

It's a 5 year old Victorian, 2880sq ft living, over 4000sq ft total, on 2 acres.

The outside of the house (That's not the street you see there, it's a circular driveway, the house sits quite a ways back from the road)

Donna, you should plan a FL bash! Just select a date and let everyone work around it. My DH has been begging me for months to go to FL to look for a winter home, on/near golf course of course. Any suggestions?

For me it has to be near an attraction and def good shopping. No boonies for me, LOL. I might be old, but I'm not dead yet.

Great idea!!! I live in Tampa and would love to meet up with everybody!! When and where?? :eek:

Harley Tampa rocks!! Not so many tourists unless you are on the beach, great downtown, lots of nightlife, and less crime than orlando :eek: Plus the beaches are FANTASTIC!!

I love the idea of a Florida Bash. We could rent out a hotel conference center for a party, people could get hotel rooms, and the hotel could cater. That part wouldn't cost much lol

our current home recently (last week) appraised for 44% more than what we bought it for last year.

GIRL! Its crazy over here too. We had Hurricane Rita damage our side. Since then homes that sold 150G before the storm are now selling around 200G.

Have you bought stock in any mosquito repelent yet?

Thats an incredible house! Congrats!!!

WOW!!! Looks like my dream home! It is beautiful Tricia!

I just love it!

It's amazing, isn't it? It's like we've gained about 8 years of equity in less than a year. I am still in a bit of shock over the appraisal amount.

The mosquitoes aren't any worse there than they are here in Hammond. We have friends that live less than a mile from the new house and we're over there quite a bit. I don't notice any difference. But, if it does start getting bad, you better believe I'll be stocking up on it.

Solivita is where's it's happening. No one under 18 allowed to live in that community but it has it's own everything. The homes are in a homeowners association and it's just unbelieveable. It's a retirement community but I would love to live there. It's down the road from me. Golf course, lakes, movie theatre, shopping plaza, hospital coming soon, everything you could ever want.

For all of you Floridians, Telly and I will be meeting at the SAK comedy club on Thursday, July 6th, for their 8pm improv show. Here's the link to their website for the address and directions.

Hahaha.....yeah, I'll just forget the fact that I'm suppose to be finding a job, unpacking and getting the house straitened up, and applying and getting my whole school situation cleared up....I'll go buy my ticket now. LOL, I wish Tricia!
