Florida

So, the cat is pretty much out of the bag and I figured I might as well make this official.

So, here is the long story to preface the decision:
My husband Tyler has been a fan of the University of Florida (Gators) for a very long time, longer than I've known him at least. He has a Florida Gators golf bag (very lovely display of orange and blue), a toy gator that dances and sings Gator cheers, a cereal box from Publix with the coach (Urban Meyer) on the front (which will NEVER be opened, probably not even if we were dying of hunger), many many shirts/hats/etc and we have a cute little gator sticker on the back of our XTerra. He's a fanatic.
We often get asked "Why do you guys like Florida? Are you from there?" (No.) "Why do you guys like Florida? Did you go to school there?" (No.) "Why do you guys like Florida? ...."
So we've decided it is time to do something about this.

We're going to move to Florida and get this show on the road. Tyler is planning on majoring in Golf and Sports Turf Management, and if any of you have been following our blog-recorded lives this summer, you know that he loves Golf just as much as he loves the Gators. (Maybe more...) So, we're really excited about this, but it is probably not going to happen for a few months. We're in the process of looking for jobs for me, and figuring out all the details with our house, and our belongings, etc.
It's always scary making a drastic change like this, so it's slightly surreal and although we talk about it a lot some people are thinking that it won't actually happen, and that we'll chicken out (those people don't know me very well). Ty has to get enough credit hours to transfer in, and so we'll be living in the Ft Lauderdale area for the first bit so we can be close to family and then once he's all set and accepted we'll move up to Gainesville and officially become a part of the Gator Nation.
(Side Note: Lots of people also think that maybe we like Florida football because of Urban Meyer who coached at Utah for a little bit. The answer to that is a definite NO. We are BYU fans to the core! We see the time Urban spent at Utah as a minor flaw, but no one is perfect, so we will continue to root for him as long as he's at Florida. :))

Anyway, like I said, we don't have all of the details worked out yet, like exactly when, etc. but when you know it's the right thing to do you do it. The warm weather, and not having to drive in the snow is a plus. :) (Tyler would point out also that the hurricanes are a non-plus, but we're not thinking about that too much!)
