Harold and I have finally found out where we will be moving (for Harold's job) after we get married!! Want to know where..??
....
I'll give you a hint:
It borders a very large body of water (an ocean, a lake, what could it be???)
...
It's in the south (getting warmer, literally)
...
It's know for these:

figure it out yet?

well if you guessed:
PENSACOLA, FLORIDA
then you are correct!!!
That's right folks, come this june we are headed to Pensacola, Florida. We were not expecting this at all (we were told we would most likely be sent to one of three places and this wasn't on the list), but we are very excited to head south and enjoy the beach! sounds more like an extended honeymoon to me.
Well after hearing about this great news, I have been doing some research on this place, where it is, and what it is close to. Here is a map to give you some reference:

We will be right along the Gulf of Mexico, and it looks like Alabama will be our next door neighbor with Georgia, Mississippi and Louisiana all close by.
Sounds like home to my Southern Man.
We will be 3 hours from New Orleans.
6 hours from Harold's home town in Monroe, Louisiana.
8 hours to Savannah, Georgia- which I hear is quite a beautiful place.
and less than an hour to Alabama and just a couple more to get to Mississippi.
but most importantly, we are a mere 7 hours away from THE WIZARDING WORLD OF HARRY POTTER (harry potter theme park). That is quicker than a trip to Cali. You better believe I will be making the trek to go here. can. not. wait. (hp fans, invited to join me in my travels).
Basically I am stoked to be moving here and excited for our adventures to start! And remember visitors are most definitely welcome, so if any of you friends out there need a little beach time and some rays, come join the fun in Pensacola, Florida (wow, sounds like I should be a tour guide there or something, wonder if they're hiring.?.)
I think this news of living in warm weather and close to a beach is making this dreary winter day much more bearable. cheers to the sun!
