the CA vs the FLA

Lately I've been quite homesick...really missing my family and my friends.

I love Utah. It's a beautiful state, it's where I met the love of my life, my best friend, and my husband. It's the first place WE (me&him) have called home.
It's where we have planted our feet, and started our lives together.
Although our plan isn't to stay here, Utah, sure has been good to us.

Husband is a Florida boy! He lived there the majority of his life.
He became accustomed to the RIDICULOUS, I mean RIDICULOUS humidity. (that I cannot stand, and really hope we never end up there)
That's where he played soccer, made friends, and lived life.
That's where his parents are.
It's where his band started. A piece of his band/music/rockn'roll loving heart will live forever!
It's where he calls home.

Me, I'm a born and raised California girl.
I love California, I love the beaches there. The weather there.
I love the sun. And the rain.
It's where some of my fondest memories are, like the day I married J Tyler.
Mostly, I love that, that's where my family is.
Mom, dad, grandma, grandpa, little brother, puppies.
It's where I call home.

 Because my Heavenly Father knows me so well, I like to think I played a teeny, tiny, itty, bitty roll in Husband serving his mission there. Because serving close to where I am from, building life long relationships, and some of his greatest memories, and strongest friendships there has allowed him to fall in love with my home state as well....secrets out, he loves California MORE than Florida.

And I am so grateful.
Because together we can hope to end up there once I am done with nursing school, and him his under-grad at BYU.

I look forward to that day....whether is be 3, 4, or 5 years from now. I look forward to the day we move to plant our feet somewhere else, and start a family, so our kids can have the same kind of memories we had in a place we really love!

So California vs. Florida.
CALIFORNIA always WINS!
