One Year

Making it past our first year in Florida, I thought it would be suitable to list things we like about here and things we miss from living up north.

Good things living here:
Great weather about 9 months of the year, Sept-May
Lots of neat state parks and rec areas
Interesting flora and fauna (well that could be a minus in some cases, looking at you wall snakes)
The Gulf and the Beaches
No state income tax
Lots of fun attractions to see
Always a coastal breeze

Things missed:
Cheese curds and good cheese in general
Ruby Red Squirt
Wilmar Chocolates
Renaissance Fairs
Friends and Family
Cool state parks and rec areas
(I do admit, I miss snow a little bit. Like November/December snow, not March/April snow)

It has been a good first year for us here. We took a bigger risk than we normally would making a move like this, but so far it has been working out; good jobs and a fun project home to renovate. Florida might not be our forever home, but it is a good home for us now.
