I've lived in FL about a year now. Taking on two major life changes at the same time --moving away from all that's familiar and moving in with my boyfriend--definitely has taught me a lot about myself. I've learned I'm stronger and more independent than I ever thought I was...and I thought I was strong and independent to begin with! I'm loving this stage of my life and have the best friends and family to go through it with me. I have a great job, live at the beach, wake up to an amazing person every day and am healthy. God has certainly blessed me!
