This is my sixth summer living in Florida.
My life has had some amazing twists and turns since I moved down here. Overall, I LOVE being here. I love the weather, I love the nearly-constant sunshine, I love the plethora of things to do,
and I love that this is where the love of my life lives.
The one thing that I didn't love about living in Florida was that it was thousands of miles away from my dear family and friends. I missed having a close network of friends...REAL FRIENDS. That prayer has been answered in BIG WAYS over the past few months. God has opened a new door in my life, and I've been incredibly blessed with some new friends:
like-minded, genuine, spirited, and fun new friends!
(Here's a picture from our fun morning. I don't have a picture of my mommy friends, but I love knowing that my littlest loves will grow up with these dear ones.)
I still miss my family and friends from Michigan, but I don't feel like that is "missing" from my life down here anymore.

I know exactly how you feel. We didn't really have many "dear friends" in Seattle, but within the past two years living in Madison, we feel surrounded by some of our best friends
So happy for you! I totally understand the friend thing as it's been a struggle for many years for me as well.
Yay for good friends! We are just embarking on the adventure of needing to re-establish friendships in New Jersey after leaving amazing friends in Michigan. Any tips on how you plugged into mom/play groups would be much appreciated!
Do you miss your sis?
Love this post. It is filled with encouragement for me. As we've moved around so much, I've missed and prayed constantly for this exact type of local friend. For today, your post is my answered prayer.
