A Big Step—a New Adveture?

We just returned home from meeting with Tara, the Sales Manager at Stonebridge at Montgomery.  We had filled out various forms about our physical and financial health and gave her a $5000 check as a deposit on housing.  We requested a two bedroom apartment plus a nook or den.  They are popular and it could be a long time until our name comes up for a place.  But the process that we have discussed for a long time is now started.  

There are many folks from our church who live there.  In fact, there is a Sunday morning bus to church and back again and that would make attending much easier for me.  No need to walk those blocks to the municipal parking lot!  

Stonebridge is quite familiar to us.  We meet there twice a month when we sing with the Grace Notes Choir.  We met at the home of a resident with our church small group this fall.  We have attended an introductory meeting with a meal and have toured sample residences.  It will be another big move, but we won’t have to sell a house. There will be more down-sizing to do but not like it was seven years ago.  

I am trying to look on this move as an adventure! It’s an investment into our future as we know we will face more of the difficulties of aging.   It will be a new way of life with options of meals provided.  I am thankful we can do it together!
