It's Fall

Well it is Fall here in SWFL. That means nothing to me.
Seriously. There is no crispness in the air. No leaves changing colors. No pumpkin patches that sell apple cider and apple donuts.
Nothin.
It's hot. It's humid and the pumpkins rot.
yay.
I guess I really shouldn't complain. It isn't healthy and there isn't ANYTHING I can do about it. It's where I live. I made the choice to move here. So I guess I should just shut up and learn to "live with it"
......sigh.........

Don't get me wrong. I'm beyond happy that I live here. I wouldn't change that for the world. My family is here and I found my true love here. I gave birth to my daughter here. My adorable niece is here. It's a no brainer to live here. But I REALLY miss the seasons and fall is my absolute favorite season. When I win the lottery I'm going to plan a mass family move up north. A bird pooped on me and Ava today.....apparently that is good luck so I'm going to go buy a lottery ticket tomorrow. ( I hope it's a 24 hour kinda good luck)

Anyway, I guess I get a little cynical when I have friends up north complaining about snow or posting pictures of them and their families at pumpkin patches in sweaters and cups of cider in their hands.
.............again, sigh...........

Drew graduates form high school in 5 years. Maybe by then we will all be ready to move away from the humidity and heat.
A girl can dream can't she? Ava will only be 5. She won't be emotionally devastated if we move away at that age. It's perfect. The 5 year plan.

So where do you want to meet Guda? Sydney also graduates in 5 years and we can leave Utah. Let's make a plan and move close together. Your whole family and mine. Think we can find a place? Or you guys buy a mansion on the beach down there and we will buy a mansion on the mountain and as soon as the leaves start changing here, we can switch homes! Perfect! Love you!
