I am a North Dakota transplant that ended up in Florida by a rather circuitous route. At first I wasn't sure Florida, let along Jacksonville, was right for me, but the southern lifestyle has definitely grown on me and now I'm working to convince the rest of my family to move here! I am married, getting ready to celebrate my fourth wedding anniversary in October, but childless. Although I am a dotting autie who tends to spoil my nephews, I'm still not sure parenthood is for me (or my husband). Maybe I'm selfish, but I just have never experienced those maternity yearnings other women talk about.
