Someone asked me about this offline, so I thought I would post an update.
In a whirlwind of good luck and insanity, Brenda and I found a home with a hangar to rent at T25 while ours is being built. So, our timeline moved up a bit, and as of three weeks ago we now live in Texas. (See my other post at
viewtopic.php?f=17&t=7400 - my flight down in the Sonex)
Since May, we found the rental home - two blocks from where we are building - sold our house in Chicagoland, emptied it and hired a mover, then drove down in two cars with two big dogs. It has been an adventure to say the least.
I flew back up right after Labor Day on American Airlines and then flew my Sonex down - Brenda went back last weekend and brought the Champ down. With less than 100 hours in her logbook, she flew a hand-prop Tailwheel aircraft across the US. Love it.
The community here is amazing. We already feel like we are home and are meeting more and more new friends every day.
I wake up every morning and think “wow - I live at an airpark!”
