I loved reading about you. I live in the sunny, western US, too and I seriously can not wait to get out of here. I want to move to another state, just not sure where yet. My husband and I are going to rent an RV soon to travel around and see where our move will be! Why does it take so much courage to move? I'm glad you found it. I've been here 44 years and I am ready for something new and different.
