Born and raised in California, I was one of those people who said I'd never leave The Golden State. However the State I once loved has become and absolute shit hole so I packed up a U-haul a little over a decade ago and headed East to The Sunshine State.
I don't regret it for a second and I now consider myself a Southern Girl who would never dream of moving back.
What's not to love here; we have sugar sand beaches with beautiful Emerald Green Gulf water. I feel blessed to live here.
