I retired from the military long before my fiance retired, and i honestly wanted to move down South, however both of us had a kid residing in Tampa, FL plus I wanted us to move down there to be closer to our grandchildren… The thought of residing in Tampa Bay didn’t sound horrible either, and after my fiance finished with his task plus retired, the two of us started looking for a place in Tampa.
Both of us moved to the city a few months after the retirement was settled plus done. It didn’t take long to sell our house. It was only on the market for 15 days. Both of us acquired a full asking price offer, perhaps every one of us could have gotten $10,000 more for the house, however every one of us were ready to sell plus honestly did not want to wait just for a few more dollars. My fiance plus I honestly weren’t prepared for the heat plus humidity in Tampa Bay. Both of us moved in the middle of June. It was 86° on the summer time day that every one of us left our place in MI. It was 101 degrees when every one of us arrived in Tampa Bay. A few weeks after every one of us settled into our new place, there was a tropical storm that knocked out the power for 5 days. Both of us didn’t have a generator plus every one of us couldn’t run anything in the home including the refrigerator, freezer, or a/c. My fiance plus I nearly died from the heat… Without the a/c running, the home was at least a hundred degrees, but during the day, there were times when I thought it was entirely cooler outside.
