As many of you are aware, I have had a great deal of life changing events occur over the past few months-
Truthfully, all but one of these events were voluntarily, self imposed.
First life changing event thats not self imposed-Daughter problem post-

I decided to leave my employer after over 22 years-
Here's the threads that talk about this, if you care to read--

And we found an area we really love everything about-
http://www.mylespaul.com/forums/backstage/207965-jupiter-florida-any-members-near-there.html
We visited Jupiter Florida and fell in love almost instantly-And this is saying something, because Florida is one of those places I visit a lot, but have only found a place or two I would ever consider living.
For those of you that are Facebook friends with me-I would appreciate no mention of this on my page, as there are still people close to us that do not know we have made a decision yet-And I am not making non anonymous announcements until I close on the purchase of the business I have an accepted offer on.
That's right--We have an accepted offer to purchase an existing, profitable business in the Jupiter area.
I have to fly down to look at rental properties to see what will work for us for temporary housing until we are able to sell our current home and also decide exactly where we want to live when we purchase a new home-
The only thing I am apprehensive about is paying the rent in the area-Its obscene compared to what I am use to--But its what I will have to do, at least for a while. Its the price of doing business for now-
I had really thought we would end up in the mountain west, but Southern Florida is where its going to be--
The schools are among the best in the country--which was a major concern.
The crime rates are so low, it makes you wonder if real humans live in the area.
The opportunities for my kids individually, and in our family unit to grow and have the best chance at success seems to be alive and well here.
My wife has always wanted to live near the ocean and palm trees-she will get her dream.
I am a life long sportsman-Hunting and fishing and spending time in wild places, as well as on the water is a major part of who I am-This area has decades worth of new places for me to play--I can't wait-
The mountains and the prairie still call my name, and I will visit them yearly-I still need to experience the change of the seasons-
I actually have two friends close to this area, and a lose acquaintance when it comes to hunting and fishing buddies-
ALZ said he lives in the area, and actually lives in the area we are looking to find a rental home in-
Things are happening quickly and I am going to be a busy MOFO for the next 3 months or so-
Forgive my rambling, I am just excited and since we are not making public announcements to our extended families or friends just yet--I have to tell somebody, lol--
Things are looking up
