Happy Birthday Florida! You look gorgeous for being 175 years old today! And I think that's what I love most about you, your natural beauty!

We landed in Florida back in 2000. We moved here from Texas so the hubby could attend UCF. We fell in love with the Sunshine state as we vacationed here for several years prior to relocating and we just knew one day we would live in Orlando. 


I love all the natural beauty Florida offers from the beautiful variety of trees, beaches and lakes!  I love all the natural animals that I would never see back home in El Paso: peacocks, cranes, eagles, ducks, alligators, possum, racoons, every kind of bird imaginable and my favorite deer! We live near some ranches and my heart still stops when I see the cattle out grazing. I love the clouds that hang so low it feels you could reach out and touch them. I love to sit outside in my back yard and just feel the breeze that seems to always be blowing. The natural beauty of Florida is what I love most.

What do you love about Florida? Our media partner NEWS 6 compiled a list. Here are a few items that were listed:

  • Manatees
  • Rocket Launches
  • Theme Parks
  • No State Income Tax
  • Sweater Weather
  • Outdoor Weather Year Round

I really pray our city and state leaders know what a gem they have and don't let this natural garden be paved for the sake of growth. Whatever you find you love most about Florida remember, we live where people around the world come to vacation! And it's all in our backyard! So enjoy it! ~grace
