Jennifer, your description of Jim's business life is exactly the life I had until I retired at age 58. It almost destroyed my marriage and health. I lived away from home for 200 days per year. God Bless both of you.
Your happiness shows - how wonderful! Your home and grounds is to die for, its so beautiful !!! Im sure your parents would be so proud and happy for you "sisters" This is the best video Jennifer - the best is yet to come. 💖 (Hair - color and style very flattering)
Congratulations Jim! Enjoy your time together. Hubby has been retired since 2020 he was 65. We enjoy morning coffee together. We do honey do things together. We went to Spain and Italy for 20 days for belated retirement due to Covid we went in October 2023.
Loved how you got re-teary watching your sister in law get the good news so sweet! So happy for you and Jim and cheering you on as you are figuring out how to function well with all this time together ! Thrilled for this new stage and gets me excited for when that can happen for my husband and me. He is a police officer and only has 3.5 years!! We can’t wait for a new chapter after so many stressful years. Cheers to you and Jim!
Great news about Jim's retirement Jennifer! Good for him and you guys will have so much fun and freedom! You have the most beautiful smile anyone could ever have!! I was wondering, as you cannot ever recoup all renovation costs, buyers like to put their own stamp on a place, do you really want to do extensive renovations, like kitchen etc. for the short term? You may not get your money back if you move within a few years? Enjoy your time with your family! You and your sister look so much alike!! Gracie is so adorable!!!❤
How exciting for you guys. Enjoy this new stage - i’m sure you will fill your time with loads of wonderful things and we look forward to seeing what you get up to. xx
Me and my husband are currently in our late 20s and love to watch your channel to look toward our dream life! Filming outside was an awesome set up, loved the relaxing landscape sounds :)
Congratulations! That’s our plan as well, to retire when my husband turns 59. It is an adjustment for both when one spouse who used to travel a lot to all of a sudden be home. It seems like you two are making it work and enjoying your new life. Happy for you guys and congrats on the upcoming baby!
Ooh such exciting news. I retired 6 weeks ago and have never been busier. But it's a nice busy without any stress. I'm finding it quite easy to adjust to my new normal and have a new lease on life. I'm spending more time with my husband as he mostly works from home which is another bonus. We celebrate our 40years anniversary in June and still like each other!!!.... 😂😂😂. You look so happy to have Jim around. It must have been really hard when he was away so much. Get out there and see the world and enjoy yourselves you deserve it. Xxxx J xxxX
Yay! Congrats! We are a few years behind you and have no idea where we are going to land permanently but plenty more fun to be had in FL and hope to see you again soon. ❤
Happy retirement, Jim!!! ❤ I can’t wait to hear what your future plans are. I love that you’re spending more time together and having fun adventures!❤❤❤
My hubs retired early too. After years at the same company he retired as a Senior VP about a year ago. We are so happy to be retired at 58 and 59. He worked hard our whole adult lives and now we get to enjoy life fully. We have a home in the Midwest and also a home in Florida and last year we spent four full months in Florida. I think we are going to sell both and settle in one home. We have enjoyed Florida but it’s not our year round vibe. Transitioning into having a full time hubby has been a really big transition for us. Lots of together time. 😂
Wonderful! The midwest will always have my heart...spent my entire life there until recently. Not sure where we'll end up in the long run, but enjoying ourselves here, for now! Good luck with finding your new spot!
Hello Jennifer, just wanted to let you know that my husband and I were in FL in February for a family wedding, and while we were there I took your recommendation and went to Summer House one night for dinner. It was excellent and I enjoyed it very much. Thank you,
Congratulations to Jim and both of you Jennifer.....also Congratulations to your niece and her husband and all the family on the new baby on the way! I was thrilled when Dave retired at 65, so much more time together now and travels.....because life goes too darn fast for late retirements.....a blessing to do it on the mark at 65 or earlier, even a bigger blessing.......enjoy!!
Congrats to Jim and to you Jennifer in that you are going to enjoy all the quality and fun time with your love.Im so happy for both you in in this chapter and journey in life.🎉🌞👏
Hi Jennifer, It’s nice to catch up with you. Congratulations on your husband’s retirement! Lots of exciting things going on in your life. I am happy for you. Take care. 💕
I retired after 42 years as a nurse and don't regret it for a second. I've had cancer twice so really realise how precious life is I'm really glad you are loving Florida. I was worried when you announced you were moving there, one of my best friends was organising to leave Florida at the same time as she has young children and wasn't happy with the politics, schooling etc. It looks beautiful . Your daughter looks just like her dad!
So happy to hear you are enjoying retirement and are on the winning side of a cancer battle! That had to have been such a difficult and scary time. We had never wanted to live in Florida...did not feel it fit us in any way possible... But are pleasantly surprised by how much we love it here. That being said, I don't think I would want to live in certain areas or have young children in school here. But as retirees and/or having grown children, it really is wonderful. Also, cost of living is very high..so that is a factor, as well. For our current situation, it is a great fit (as long as we don't read the news to often...) but it's probably not our "forever" location.
Congratulations to Jim on his retirement and that he is finally home. It’s hard when they travel so much. My husband recently double retired at the age of 53. He always traveled while in the military so it’s been great to have him in one place. Enjoy all your excursions. Try to make your way to Destin, it’s beautiful there.
Thank you! And congratulations to your husband, as well. Destin is on our list, as we have relatives in that area we want to visit. I've heard it is beautiful.
@@JustJennifer The emerald waters are amazing. Excellent food and scenic route 30A is so much fun. Lots of shops, and food. The manager at the place we stayed at has lived there his entire life and he provided us a list of all the best restaurants to eat at while we were there for a week. Plus in the mornings we had an air show because of the fighter jets flying above us. ✈️
Wow! What wonderful news! So happy for you and your family!😊 I love it when my daughter comes to visit us too. She keeps her 2 cats in a posh "Cat Spa" while she's with us.😍
Congratulations to you both!! You are such a beautiful couple Jen, enjoy all of the time together during this time in your life. Congratulations on the baby!! How fun!! I enjoyed catching up with you, thanks for sharing. xo
How lovely a new baby in the family. Im surprised your sister didn’t think it was YOUR daughter who was pregnant, with her giving her the baby items as a clue.x
Thank you! Yes, we worried about the possible baby confusion...so we kept saying things like, "Katie and Nate want a photo of you here", and "Oh, Katie wanted you to hold this for the photo" in hopes it would clue them in properly.
Congratulations to Jim! happy you guys can enjoy life together now after retirement! Can you tell me what bag you are wearing at 7.39 minutes in the the video?
Gosh Jennifer I wasn’t expecting that, you’ve only recently moved because of his job. Think I’d be tearing my hair out lol. It was such a big house move and everything which that involved, buying new furniture, time spent planning & designing new bedroom furniture. Hope all goes well from now on and you can stay put for a good few years xx
Congratulations to Jim on his retirement!!:) My hubby is hoping to retire within a couple of years, he is 56, owns a hectic, busy business so it will definately be soon time! Omg Gracie is absolutely adorable!!! What breed is she? She kind of looks a bit like our Baylee who is bishon /pomeranium. The car Jim is looking at is gorgeous!! My hubby looked & looked for his for 5 years & finally found it in August of 2021 while on a motorcycle trip lol! Boys & their toys lol!! I hope when my hubby does retire we can spend some time in Florida, we love it there!!
Thank you! Gracie is a Malipoo (Maltese/Mini Poodle) She is such a sweetie pie! I'm so happy your hubby found his car. I think the search for the perfect one is half the fun, but I am looking forward to the day when he finally gets what he's wanted for so long!
Congratulations to your hubby on his retirement. My hubby retired at 66. I’m a writer so I don’t 😊plan to retire anytime soon. But we have done more traveling since he’s retired. He’s getting in a lot of golfing, too. As always, thanks for sharing Gracie with us. 😀
Thank you! I've always wished I could be a writer... but I struggle with writing a letter, much less anything more ambitious! I suppose I'm just a "talker"!! 😆 Enjoy your time and travels with hubby.
Hi Jennifer, enjoy the retirement and all that comes with it. No matter where or what you post it is always enjoyable. Have fun with your sister. She is as beautiful as you. Take care.❤
I love watching Gracie and your daughter looks like jim thanks for the laughs I sure needed that doing chemo infusion has made me very tired and quite frankly really sick 😫 ❤
Hi Jennifer it’s so exciting to have time together but I recently retired it can be joyous having so much time with each other yet it can also be different having so much time together when you’re not accustom to spending every minute of your time together I get it I’ve been there myself anyway I’m happy for you both 💚💚💚💚
Hi Craig. Yep, you got that right! It's great and it's a lot...takes adjustment, for sure! And just because we can, doesn't mean we have to be with "em every single moment. I'd lose my mind. Congrats on your retirement! 💚💚💚💚
Omg Gracie on her Easter egg hunt….adorable ❤. Congratulations on Jim’s retirement. My hubby retired 3 years ago, but still “working from home” as he loves what he does & doesn’t want to totally stop working 😏. I’m retired and enjoying my new granddaughter. Enjoy your travels😊.
Awww..your daughter spilled the beans too quick! Should have let them wonder about it together for a bit. New grandpa said, "That's good to know". Ha! Fun pizza garden and Congrats on the retirement. You guys totally lucked out in life!
That's wonderful! We have been discussing it for years and even looking for possible retirement places...but things kept popping up that Jim wanted to work on. Now just seemed like the right time. ♥️
Hi Jen Congratulations to you both🎉🎉. So exciting and I so agree, do it when you can so you can both enjoy yourself. I wish you all the best and you just enjoy yourself each and every day.🙂
Congratulations Jim on your retirement. Will be lovely having your husband home :). We work so hard. I still havee 8 more years left until I can access my superannuation and enjoy lefe after work.
Thank you! Yes, you're doing the right thing. Stay healthy during your 8 years so you are in fabulous condition to enjoy all you have worked so hard for once you retire!
What a wonderful video! Congrats to your husband on retirement -- that is exciting for the two of you, especially as I presume it will mean more traveling, which is always my favorite. When you said you guys went to Naples to look at the car, I was like "Italy? For a car? That's exciting!" and then when I saw the make of the car, it made more sense... then I remembered there's a Naples in Florida. 🤣 Congrats also on the new addition-to-be to your extended family, and for sharing that moment with us all. That was very sweet too. Your happiness is contagious through this video and I really look forward to seeing how things shake out for you guys, as you have both been through a lot in the last few years and deserve every happiness that's coming to you now. 💗💗
Thank you so much! We were actually in Naples, Italy last September, and it didn't even occur to us to look at cars there! I guess we missed an opportunity! 😆💗
Hey Jen loved this video. Congratulations to you and Jim retirement is the best. You can video anywhere we don’t care. Hoping to see more cooking videos. ❤
TWO WORDS: SRI LANKA. THREE WORDS ish: marina bay sands, singapore. We've got a telly programme here from the bbc called Amazing Hotels Life Beyond the Lobby. I think you'd LOVE IT at that resort. It may hbe way over your budget, but what a retirement present!!
@@JustJennifer i got it wrong, the place i think you'll LOVE is Ceylon Tea Trails in Sri Lanka. That singapore hotel isnt for you i dont think. The Ceylon place DEFO IS!
How wonderful that Jim is so financially able to be retired at 59! He has earned it & has probably sacrificed alot to now be in this position. Now you can relax & enjoy your charmed life there!
Please talk my husband into retiring! He’s 65 and says he won’t consider it until 70. I just don’t get it as we have our nest egg where it needs to be. He’s just someone who doesn’t want to stop working. Heck, I’m 58 and ready to retire! 😂 Congratulations, Jim. I hope you find that perfect Ferrari!
Congrats. Best to retire early and enjoy while healthy. Retirement is quite an adjustment. Loved to recommendation on buc-ees. Stopped on recent road trip it was worth it. Love your videos
PLEASE come view Hilton Head Island/Bluffton SC.......it is not Florida style, very low key. Beaches, golf, tennis (my favorite), bike trails, pickle ball, volunteering. We also get a small change of season. Lots of waterfront properties, golf views, marsh views. The best part is the wildlife you see, it was designed that you co-exist nature.
We actually visited Hilton Head Island 2 years ago (thinking retirement possibilities) and had a realtor send us houses in Bluffton for awhile. I have a video about our trip! That is still on our list of areas we like!
@@JustJennifer If you come for another visit, please let us meet you, we can give you the scoop, and take you for lunch or dinner at our club house, we live in Moss Creek which is at the base of the bridge.
I never realised it was you dancing at first. We only really see you sitting talking to camera. Your husband didn’t seem to notice you bobbing away next to him lol x

Please talk my husband into retiring! He’s 65 and says he won’t consider it until 70. I just don’t get it as we have our nest egg where it needs to be. He’s just someone who doesn’t want to stop working. Heck, I’m 58 and ready to retire! 😂 Congratulations, Jim. I hope you find that perfect Ferrari!
Congratulations! Life’s too short to work your whole life and be away from family. Enjoy every minute!
Hi Jennifer. Love your channel and enthusiasm. Best Wishes…..Melinda H.
Congrats to you both!!!
Congrats. Best to retire early and enjoy while healthy. Retirement is quite an adjustment. Loved to recommendation on buc-ees. Stopped on recent road trip it was worth it. Love your videos
Thank you! I'm glad you stopped at Buc-ees and got to see all they have to offer. It's quite a place!
Well done on Gracie’s scavenger hunt!!
She would do that every day if she could! Just loves it!
Congratulations! 🎉
Every time I see ur videos it makes me want to move back to Florida.
Congratulations! So happy for you and your family ❤
PLEASE come view Hilton Head Island/Bluffton SC.......it is not Florida style, very low key. Beaches, golf, tennis (my favorite), bike trails, pickle ball, volunteering. We also get a small change of season. Lots of waterfront properties, golf views, marsh views. The best part is the wildlife you see, it was designed that you co-exist nature.
We actually visited Hilton Head Island 2 years ago (thinking retirement possibilities) and had a realtor send us houses in Bluffton for awhile. I have a video about our trip! That is still on our list of areas we like!
I’ve been to Hilton Head it’s beautiful.
@@JustJennifer If you come for another visit, please let us meet you, we can give you the scoop, and take you for lunch or dinner at our club house, we live in Moss Creek which is at the base of the bridge.
I never realised it was you dancing at first. We only really see you sitting talking to camera. Your husband didn’t seem to notice you bobbing away next to him lol x
