Here we go again!

May 2018, this is the truck that sat outside our home in Savannah getting loaded up to travel to Las Vegas. We waited 6 months for the house to sell and were excited to finally be on our way. Mary and I, along with the three dogs were getting on a plane on May 9th. Bill had gotten a job promotion and this was our chance to move back west. Who could refuse one more move when your husband gets a promotion? 

Fast forward to March, 2020.

We started looking at a neighborhood with a beautiful one story home located just over the hills in a little town called Pahrump. Yes. Weird little name. Weird little town. Not much there. But quiet. Not like the bustling Vegas streets. A planned community with a golf course, a restaurant and pretty tree-lined streets.

We put an offer on the Pahrump house and spent a week getting the town home ready to list, packing up most everything into the garage so we could have an open house.

About two weeks into March, we all know what happened. COVID19 and the stay at home orders. Everything closed down and Bill started working from home. The news made it all very scary, so we were glad to be at home. The dogs really loved Bill being home all the time! They got used to it real fast!

Of course, house showings stopped. Our Open House was both Saturday and Sunday the week of the 21st. Our realtor set up virtual showings and worked hard to get our place noticed, but we just sat here. Waiting. But we were just moving to Pahrump and the owners of the home we put an offer in on were very gracious and were willing to wait, too. What choice did they have?

Then.

Boom.

Bill gets a phone call and finds out that Gulfstream is closing the Las Vegas facility. 

What the major fuck?

Here we go again.

In 2003 Bill worked for United Airlines. We left California in 1995 for Indiana when UAL built a shiny new maintenance facility. It was our first big move and it put an end to Bill's 100 mile daily commute to work. 

We thought this would be our home. 

After a few years we built a home. 

About 9 months later we had to move. The facility got shut down because of a bickering war between UAL and the City of Indianapolis. We landed in North Florida in a really little town called Lake City. About 7 years in we bought a house.

They closed the facility in Lake City.

Gulfstream snatched Bill up right away when he applied and moving to Savannah was more appealing than having to move to someplace cold with United. 

In 2013 we built a house.

2018 moving again. But this was a good move! We were excited! And off we went.

And here we are again. Garage is packed up. We're waiting to move. Back to Northern California, where we started 32 years ago. 

Things are opening up here in Las Vegas and we had two showings this last weekend. Our realtor said both parties were very interested. As of this Monday morning, we are waiting to see if either will make an offer as Bill heads to Lincoln to work this week and look for homes.

So, here we are.

We have promised the dogs there would be no planes involved in the move. For Bailey, of course, this will be her first move since she became a part of the family. 

So, send us some good vibes! We need and offer so we can get going. Waiting is horrible. We also need some homes to go on the market in Lincoln! They've been selling like crazy the last couple of weeks leaving few to choose from.
