The orange tree is planted

I was born in the Big Apple, moved to Orlando (where I grew up 4-17), went to University of Florida (Go Gators!), moved to Seattle for graduate school, moved to FL for a month to get married, then moved to KY to work while my husband went to graduate school, then together we moved to Seatte, and now we're working on moving to FL to stay put for a little while by family and friends. Whew, most of my sentences will be shorter but I write like I talk (a lot). So while living in Seattle (2 years), KY (2 years), then Seattle again (1 year) I have realized and refined a passion of mine. I love soaking up everything a town has to offer, doing everything once and thouroughly enjoying and exploring where I live (all for a good deal). So while thinking of living in one place for a long time excites me as far as being in community, it also scares me that I won't explore as much because I'll think, 'I can do that later.' My husband and I have committed to exploring FL like we've never lived there and this blog is for me to spread the word of all the fun stuff we're doing and how to do it affordably (aka super cheap or free).
