Im Moving to Washington...

[jbarile]

I sold my house Im so excited although feeling afraid! not that I made a mistake, but moving from california! I guess this could be a midlife crisis move? But all my children are grown with their own families, and Im a widow so who else better to grow old with my best friend! I have been in Paradise/chico area just about 28 years so this is a scary move.. I have lived in Calif just about all my life and I visted Wa for two days to move my friend there, so I really can't say I know anything about the area?? I know Fasteddie lives in the Washington area, how many YTalkers in WA? I hope we can meet I hope to be all moved in my new home in Spanaway by the end of the month. then a month of unpacking so not to bore you any longer
I will pop in & out until Im ready to break down the computer, so until I get settled & unpacked I'll will temporary say bye for now..

see U all later

Diva and I live in Seattle! Welcome to Washington!! There are meetups the 3rd Sat of the month. I'm sure you will love it here. You are coming in the Summer to give you time to fall in love with the area before we hit the rainy season.

I know somewhat the feeling of moving being a scarey thing, we are facing the same decision, but are one step behind you. We can not decide where we want to move to. It is such an unsettled feeling ,knowing it would be best to move and simplify life somewhat. We too live in the country, since Jack came down with Parkinsons I find the days are really long trying to keep up with everything, and wanting to have more time to spend with him (as time goes on he will require more of my care) I wonder though about moving to the city, after living in the country for so long. Our son wants us to move close to them. We have been here in Calif. long time too, love it cept for the shakers Please keep us updated on how you are doing, you sound like a person that can adjust to where ever you need to. Have not been to Washington but hear it is a beautiful place.
Best wishes to you in your new home. Patti and ~~Baby Blessing~~

The meetups are in Seattle, but there's a Yorkie meetup group that meets in Tacoma/Lakewood too.

CONGRATS on selling your house! It's a great time to move too, as the summer months are nice, and though it rains probably 140 days a year and about 225 cloudy days a year, the summer months are very pleasant!

Have a safe, relaxing move (if there is such a thing as a relaxing move)! See ya around!

Hi Patti, Im so sorry to hear about Jack! I will keep you both in thought and prayer. It was a very hard decision and I pondered? I made my decision to move by looking at the advantages & disavantages of staying or moving! I drew a line across the top of a piece of paper and a line down almost like a (T) on one side of the top line I wrote disavantages of moving & the other side the advantages! the line going down separates the Dis & adv, In my situation I had more advantages to making the move than staying! So I had to want to change my current situation and this procedure helped me to come to my decision! and I commited to following through because I was able to see the advantages!
you will know what to do, it is so scary to make a big judment call like this but Patti take a look at the advantages vs. disavantages and you will find the answer! good luck to you and Jack...

Now, this person you are moving to spend time with: is this the "best friend" who is ill?

Im moving to Spanaway! how far is that from you? Im so excited Im not even there yet and I have met friends already there.. right here from Ytalk.. I don't really have any idea what it is like there?
I was there just to move my friend there, two days of unloading the truck then a flight home... I figured what the heck? I still have some spirit and adventure left in me.. time to toss out the old and in with the new..
I think I will be making the move within 30 days or sooner, were trying to shoot for the first of June?
