We Are Leaving Paradise (Friday, March 13th, 2020)

It's been a crazy few months for Steve and I, so I'll fill you in on our most recent adventure.

We have loved Lake Havasu City since we started coming here in 1996.  It has been an amazing vacation spot, and for the last four years, it has been a great home.  But as with everything in life, our perceptions and priorities change.  

Paradise for us used to be a warm location with a lake, where we could relax and boat.  But with changes in our lives, and our love for travel, our new paradise is defined as a warm location with an airport, where we can relax and move around more easily.   

So late last year, we started looking around the Phoenix area to see what it might have to offer.  We eventually found a spec home that meets our needs, and put down earnest money to hold it for us until it is complete.  Since then, we have once again been purging our lives of anything we no longer need or use.  I love simplifying.  It just makes me happy!

On Tuesday, February 25th, we put our Havasu house on the market, hoping not to have to move twice, but knowing that might be a possibility.  And today, Friday, March 13th, we are completely moved out and closed on our house.  16 days from start to finish.  Apparently we like living in a whirlwind, because we just keep doing it to ourselves.

We are once again temporarily homeless, with our things in storage, living in our motor home, but what better way to spend spring in the beautiful desert.
