Growing Up

I moved to Florida about 2 months ago with my love for personal reasons. I never been away from home(Ohio) before nor have I lived with someone other than my parents so this is a new experience for the both of us. We have learned the following since moving here:

At least one person gets struck by lightning every other week.

When you have basic cable you find yourself reciting the local commercials with the mute button on.

You get homesick sooner than you think even though you couldn't wait to move out.

The bugs are way different down here than they are up north(flying roaches).

Neighbors are rude(above-having a party @ 230 a.m., below-loud music)

The weather is very predictable, it either storms or it's HOT, never anything in between.

Publix is the best grocery store in the world in my opinion.

It's cheaper to go to the local laundry mat than your on site laundry facility($1-washer, .25-dryer)

Before you get cable PS3,Wii,DS,PSP,64',Sega, and The Original Nintendo are your best friends.(We're Gamers)

When buying furniture in a hot city don't buy leather even though it was a too good to pass up deal.

The only cups you'll use is your 7-Eleven movie-themed collectible Slurpee cups.

Even though it's been a lil' crazy this has been a fun and learning experience for the both of us as we grow up. I'm glad to be out on my own living as an adult making adult decisions and being able to take care of myself hundreds of miles away from home. We're still young and have a long way to go and I'm pretty sure there will be more crazy things to come in our lives but we're ready to take the challenge.
