My husband and I are excited to finally move out of state. As soon as I graduate, we plan on moving our whole lives across the country. It's a dream come true.
For a few years now, I've been considering the idea of moving west. I've always wanted to explore the U.S., but I'd never really gotten the chance. Until now.
I never really liked living in Naples, let alone Florida. I've lived here too long to enjoy it. I wasn't born here and I'm not a huge fan of the sunny skies or sandy beaches. I'm a night owl who's never gotten the chance to really enjoy the nightlife. Naples has no nightlife. Everything in Naples closes at 9 P.M., so good luck finding anything fun to do.
I will say though, it is a bittersweet ending to a very long chapter in my life. As many bad memories that have manifested in Florida, some very good memories have happened here.
I met some of my closest friends here. They've been with me for so long and I'd love to spend as much time as possible before we all go our separate ways.
I also met my husband here. He and I couldn't be more excited to get our lives started. We're considering an apartment near Washington University where we'll hopefully add a couple of puppies to our family.
This whole move is inspiring me to finish school as soon as possible so we can get on the road as soon as possible. I don't know what to say about how I'll feel on my last day in Florida, but I know that I'll thank this state for bringing me joy, friendship, and love. As cheesy as it is, I do love you, Florida, just not as much as I love adventure.
