I completely understand your reasons for moving. My situation was a little similar. When I moved from Virginia to Florida I left a home I spent my childhood years in. It had a lot of memories but no matter how much renovating and updating I did it still felt like my childhood home. Now that I'm settled in Florida I have my own home and it feels like mine, you know?
Good luck in your home and job. I'm sure you will do well. Sometimes a new place is very refreshing and it's like starting a new chapter in life.
