We're alive and we're FLORIDIANS

Three weeks ago today we packed up everything we owned and drove away from Utah. It was so much fun driving because Jordan and I were able to laugh, talk, and keep each other awake the entire time. 

We spent two 11-12 hour days driving until we pulled into Texas to spend about 5 days with my parents. We  had a lot of fun in Texas and enjoyed being with my family. Jordan and I learned how to pressure cook meat, toured downtown Fort Worth (where I got to ride my first mechanical bull), and hang out with our college buddy David and his wife.



Once our time was up, we reluctantly got back in the car for another 2 days of driving. The last two days were a lot harder than the first simply because we were so ready to get to Florida. We got here and moved in the 29th. We were very blessed with cloudy weather as Jordan and I hauled all of our things up two flights of stairs to our apartment on the third floor. 

That whole first week were spent shopping every hour of everyday. We didn't have any furniture or food. Moving is very expensive we learned, but we came across some great deals and got a lot of things on clearance. The most surprising was saving $72 with coupons at Walmart on groceries.

After spending the week unpacking and going to store after store we hit up Downtown Disney, Cocoa Beach, and best of all Disney World. 




We are having so much fun and absolutely love Florida. We have a long list of things to do and go see. I'm so happy we live here!!
