Dargs on the MOVE....

...to SoWal, fulltime!!!! This deserves it's own thread jdarg. You can't hide this fact!

Fer real?!

Yep!!!

It's too for words! :clap_1:

You are right Miss Kitty, this does deserve it's own thread. I am so glad for the dargs. It could not happen to a nicer family. And, just think she will alway's be there when I come down. For that, I am so grateful. I wish them all the luck in the world. And I wish them a smoothe move....May all your dreams come true Dargs!!!! I you!!!!!!

I'm happy for the Dargs too but now I want to know, if they live in SoWal, where will they go for vacation? :roll:

Louisville?

Y'all are just plain crazy. But I you too. Thanks for going through this move with me- I can't tell you how much better y'all have made everything!

Do you have an ETA?

Congrats! :clap_1: Looking forward to hearing about your adventures as you get settled in. By the way, is Kate in preK? If she will be in kindergarten next year, Florida now offers a free (!) preK program as well. It started last year and some of the elementary schools have it on-site, and some of them "farm it out" to other private schools and pay the tuition. If you haven't checked with the school district, do so right away! I don't know how it works up there; am only familiar with our area. I think the quality varies somewhat but there are standards set by the state. It's a work in progress.

Good luck!!

Mer, I wondered the same thing! They've been threatening to come to St. Louis forever and have never made it.

bring it on dargs

Jdarg - let's go shopping.

Do you have an ETA?

Our house here goes on the market Monday.

We are coming down Sept. 8th weekend for a final house hunt blitz, followed by making an offer(s). So mid, late fall?? My goal is definitely for sure before T-giving, but cross your fingers for sooner.

Twist my arm.:roll:

When you live in SoWal you are always on vacation.

Dargs are living the dream and will be the envy of all the remote SoWallers.

The forum that some posters frequent to post how horrible things are is the same forum others use to pursue dreams. :clap_1:

I think we should relieve the Dargs of the pressure of finding a new vacation spot. The "SoWal Vacation Club Membership" would be just the thing for them--all of us who don't live in SoWal could offer one week a year to the Dargs in exchange for one week at our homes. Just think, the Dargs could have holidays in SL, Indy, Dallas, the Atl, the list goes on and on! I can't see why they won't jump at the opportunity.

You have lost your mind. Our house comes with the "very loving" dogs.

well, sowal locals aren't always on vacation, cause we're working and going about our lives just like people elsewhere. but somehow we don't feel the need to go on vacation much. my best girlfriend plans her infrequent travels so that she can be back by the weekend - she just can't bear to miss a weekened in sowal. and she's lived here about 30 years.

we went on vacation in sowal twice during the spring. packed our bags and drove 6 or 7 miles all the way to Watersound for a lovely stay at the beach. very relaxing drive.

(and went to Fernandina Beach (amelia Island) and truly enjoyed an entirely different part of Fla on the Atlantic).

You're trying to weasel out of vacation club membership. :nono1: I've seen your dogs and they're adorable! Anyone on SoWal would instantly adopt them.

jdarg: everyone you've ever known (family, friends, aquaintances) will come and stay at your house at least once, usually repeatedly over the years...

I've been looking for this, glad you are out. I must have missed it on the on the yard sale thread. Congratulations everyone. You will fit right in down there and it couldn't happen to a better family. Look out Sowal here they come!

Lucky Dargs!:clap_1: Congratulations!!

Tootsie, my parents live in Naples now so I know what you're saying is 100% true. That's why I couldn't resist teasing jen-ay about the SoWal Vacation Club: she has to be prepared for the onslaught from here to eternity!

Congratulations Jen-ay :clap_1: I'm so happy (and envious) for you and your family. Best of Luck.

congrats to you all, may your move be a success !

Wow!! Congratulations!!!:clap_1:
Either I missed a previous thread re: your move or I just didn't know, but this is fantastic news. Best of luck to you and your family!! (even tho I am just a teensy bit envious ;-))
