We have started to talk about a date for our move to Puerto Rico. They definitely relate to the amount of money we need to save up, but also some things we need to take care of and line up before we leave (as you can see on the vine).
If our projections are correct, we will meet our projected amount needed to move to Puerto Rico sometime around the spring/summer of 2013. Then we figured we could get through another nice summer in Colorado and move to Rincon sometime before the winter of 2013. I calculated that we are about 500 days away! Five hundred days. That seems both short and long. I am now into the 5 digits of days alive on Earth so 500 days represents about 4% of my lifetime! On the other hand, that’s only about 18 months. Another cold winter to get through and then it will be Endless Summer if we want it to be.
Of course life can throw any number of curveballs at you, especially when you try to plan, so we are flexible. No need to worry or rush. But if all the stars align, it could make for some nice symmetry. By October 2013, we will have lived in our house in Greeley a little over 10 years! We will have written our blog for 5 years! We will have owned our property in Puerto Rico for 2 years. October 5, 2013 is exactly 500 days from May 23, 2012. May 23rd, 2012 is the 1 year anniversary since we bought the property in Rincon, Puerto Rico! Pretty cool stuff!
We have also been thinking about all the things we want to do in Colorado before the big move. Soon we will be making a Colorado “bucket list” so to speak and checking things off that list. Looking forward and counting down to making our dreams come true!
