Congratulations on the anniversary and the house! I will be closing on the sale of the House my wife and I built to retire to on Friday. She worked hard to pay it off so we would own it free and clear before we retired. Its a much nicer house than the one I live in now, but upon her diagnosis we seldom got away and went there and after she passed away it was difficult for me to do so. Taxes, insurance, utilities on it have made it an expensive luxury since I can not yet retire. I also couldn't move there because it was too isolated (no phone or cell signals, no HS internet which I need for work and a long drive to an airport if I have to travel for business). Its all bittersweet as our 36th anniversary would have been Monday the 5th. So enjoy the move and new home - hopefully it won't be a stressful move. Hire someone to do it for you to take some of the stress away.
Good luck
