I was anxious about the first snowfall
My husband and I were both retired, and were looking for a nice place to move into. I no longer wanted to take care of a five bedroom, three bathroom home. The house was amazing when we had six kids living at home, but it was just he and I now. When we read how much lower the cost of living is in Springfield, we started looking for a home. The biggest downside to moving to Springfield is that the summers are hot and humid, and the winters are cold and snowy. We had those same weather conditions where we lived. The cost of living drew us in, but it was Springfield itself that kept us interested. It was said there was a lot of crime in Springfield, but we had moved from an area where crime was also prevalent. We found a lovely little home in an area that was filled with people our age. There were few children, which I didn’t mind. I figured with only two bedrooms; we didn’t have any worries about the kids staying for any length of time. If they wanted to visit, there were plenty of hotels in the area, and they weren’t overly expensive. The home we bought cost half of what we got for our house, and we had plenty of money in the bank to do what we wanted. I was anxious about the first snowfall. I loved snow, and I already knew we had excellent HVAC in the house, or we wouldn’t have bought it. I wanted to take a walk in the first snowstorm, with my husband by my side, just like we did on our first date.
