Before and After!

This is a picture of our old house (located between Baltimore and Washington DC), where we lived before moving to Sunny Florida!  When Eric and I first met he told me that he had 8 more years to work until he could retire (!!!) and he said that after that time we can move wherever I want (PARIS PARIS PARIS!!!).  But with 2 kids (and one on the way at the time) and a husband who doesn't speak a word French, Paris wasn't our best option anymore.  Insted we started talking about Florida and it didn't take longe beofre we had made the decision that that was where we would spend the next chapter of our lives.  We took a couple of trips down (for research purposes :)) and fell in love with a nice neighborhood in Ft. Myers. 

Now I live here :). Ok it's not all "margaritas by the pool" but I just love the sunshine.  We no longer own any ice scrapers, snow shovels or lawn mower!  In fact we like it so much we might even reitre here :)
