Time Flies...

Well, I'm not sure where to begin this post! We ended 2012 with the decision to place our home in Louisiana on the market and make the Orange Beach/Gulf Shores area our home base! We spent the prior two years commuting between Louisiana and Alabama every week due to my work schedule of seven days on and seven days off. Anticipation was living in the Wharf Marina and we were determined to spend as much time enjoying her as possible!

Good bye Donovan Drive!!!



We were excited and shocked at the same time that our home sold in less than two weeks! Decisions needed to be made relatively quick at this point and the search for our new home began! Thankfully, we have a great friend in the real estate industry right where we need her and Carla Weeks joined our search for the perfect place.

 

We decided on a condo with a boat slip to allow more time on Anticipation rather than spending the time it takes to maintain a home, yard, etc!

I continued working and we continued the commute each week until the end of March; by the end of April we were in our new home, renovation complete and ready to be settled in our own place again! It was a long four months but we are excited and very pleased with our decision to make the move! We are still in the settling process, storage being our biggest challenge to overcome but we will work it out eventually!

Meanwhile we are enjoying life! Most mornings we have coffee on the balcony and watch the river come to life and cocktails in the evening to watch the sunset!

It is a wonderful thing to be able to have Anticipation in our "back yard"

Sunsets are stunning almost every day!
