Found a spot in Lakeland to get married

Another bonus is that we don’t have to drive too far to get what we want

My husband and I live in Florida and we were looking for a place to get married. I started hunting around looking for locations nearby that were beautiful. I found that Lakeland Florida is a gorgeous spot. There is water, wildlife, and plants all over the place. It is low key, the weather is great, and it is so pretty. After looking around at what Lakeland Florida has to offer, I found that Hollis Garden was where I wanted to go. It offers lush greenery and florals that are the perfect backdrop to pictures. There are also places to host a large group of people or a small crow for a wedding. They have done weddings there before. What is great is that afterwards, Lakeland does offer a lot of options for bars and entertainment. There are plenty of places to stay as far as hotels, airbnbs, and condos. I am really confident that this is going to be the best location for my husband and I to get married in. It is beautiful, the weather will hold, and there are tons of accommodations. Even if we don’t get into the garden, I am happy to pick another location in Lakeland to host us. The spot offers so many diverse backdrops that will be just perfect. Another bonus is that we don’t have to drive too far to get what we want. I hate to ask my family to leave so far from home just to see us get married. It wouldn’t be worth it at all.

Beer-making dates and I hate beer

I have lived in Springfield, MO my whole life. There is quite a beer scene here. A lot of people try their hand out at making beer and there are a lot of breweries if you want a professional’s stock. Well, I don’t like beer. There, I said it. I think it looks and tastes like pee. I tried drinking a beer at a baseball game once and almost vomited. The smell and taste are just vile to me. I keep it quite close to the chest though. If people hear I don’t like beer they get all offended. Everyone wants me to try a specific beer. All beer tastes the same. Whether it is a local Springfield, MO brew or a tried and true beer, I hate them all. They all taste gross. Well, I recently went on a date and the guy took me to Show Me Brewing. It is a part of the Springfield beer experience. You can make your own craft of beer. You get paired with a brewmaster and they guide you through the process. You then were able to take your craft home. It was a very unique and cute date idea. But the guy loved beer and really was excited to make and try out everyone’s blend. I hate beer and at first tried to hide it. Then I had to let the cat out of the bag mid date and it was super awkward. How do you engage in cute date banter making beer when you hate it? You don’t. I didn’t get a second date with that guy.

Jacksonville is so much better than the north

I lived up north my entire life. I was used to a cold season that lasted 8 months out of the year. It wasn’t unusual to deal with temperatures in the negative twenties. I scraped ice and snow off my car multiple times a day. It was just life. Now I live in Jacksonville Florida. It is so much different. First, the weather is night and day different. The heat is intense and lasts forever. It is nice that I can get a suntan during the freezing cold times in the north. It is nice never having to deal with snow and freezing temperatures. I don’t love the humidity though. Second, the people in Florida are just so much nicer. Everyone is friendly and has nothing to do. Nobody wants to work but nobody wants to rush either. Third, I adore that there are plenty of things to do for entertainment. Jacksonville offers a wide range of dining options from fine dining to fast food. There are arcades, shopping malls, ice rinks, bowling alleys, mini golf, you name it. There are plenty of businesses for services like dental, hair care, HVAC, plumbing, and electric. I always have a handy service within a few minutes drive. That is so much different from where I used to live. I will admit that I miss the cold. I never get to wear pants and a jacket anymore. The winter season just isn’t that bad. There are nights that I rely on my heating system, but they are few and far between.

South Bend had an impressive holiday display

About once a quarter my partner and I like to travel to a new state and see the sights.

We have it in our heads that we are going to see all fifty states. We have already taken down Hawaii and Alaska. The rest should be easy right? Well there are certain states that just don’t seem appealing to us. It is hard to get excited to go there. When I decided that this winter we would try out Indiana, my boyfriend wasn’t really pleased. What is there to do in Indiana? What are they known for? Well to make it fun, I booked us a trip during the holiday season. I figured up north must do Christmas the right way. They get snow after all. It was a good idea if I do say so myself. South Bend IN is where I landed on for us. They do a ton of holiday themed events and have an impressive light display. I booked us an airbnb right in town to see all the holiday stuff. We went shopping, drank cider, and looked at the lights. We got to experience snow and enjoy the holiday season. It was a really magical trip for us. South Bend probably wouldn’t be that fun if it was during the summer season. Even though they have milder summers, it wouldn’t be great just walking around with nothing to do. Holiday seasons are only fun with snow in my opinion. I am glad we got Indiana off our bucket list. It turned out to be a very nice trip.

Moving to a better location

I lived up north my entire life and dealt with the snow.

  • I hated the severe cold, windchill, and getting feet of snow each year.

I spent most of my life pushing around a snow blower. I would chip ice off my windshield. It was so cold all the time. I just hated it. I then decided that enough was enough. I was going to move somewhere better. Somewhere a lot warmer. I then settled on the idea of moving somewhere south. I didn’t want to be in Texas or Florida where the heat is brutal. I found that Alabma had everything I could ever want. The heat there is reasonable and the winter season is mild. I would get enough to wear shorts in the summer and pants in the winter. I wouldn’t be sweating to death or freezing ever. Isn’t that great? I am happy that I chose to live in Tuscaloosa now that I am in Alabama. Is it a really known location? No and I am glad. The last thing I would want is to be in a big tourist trap. I also didn’t want to be in a huge city. I wanted enough things to do but a rural town feel. That is quintessential Tuscaloosa, AL. Now that I live with ideal weather 24/7, I can’t believe how long I lived up north. Life is too long to live in inferior weather conditions. I hated being cold and stuck indoors all day. Now I can enjoy my outdoor season. I can plant shrubs, flowers and maintain a vegetable garden in my Tuscaloosa home.

Arizona Christmas every year

I really like going to Phoenix, Arizona every winter season.

I get to spend Christmas in an area that just isn’t that cold. 68 degrees is the high and the low is around 45 degrees. That is enough that I wear pants and a light jacket, but I am not cold by any means. I book myself a stay in a very class resort and take advantage of those luxuries. My family and I play some golf, get massages, and do some hiking. We also make it our mission to at least see the Grand Canyon before we pack up and leave. The rest of the time we do some shopping and just eat at the local places. Since it isn’t really a tourist season then, we get pretty decent rates. It is funny that all the Arizona natives are freaking out about the cold. They are bundled up in thick thermal gear when my family and I are in t-shirts most of the time. I like that I get to experience Arizona without dealing with the horrible heat. They get summer temperatures well into the 100s. I read online that in 2050 they will start getting weather into the 110s! Isn’t that totally wild? I would way rather be too cold than too hot I believe. It is a wonderful place to visit and vacation, but I wouldn’t want to live there. They basically use AC all year long. The heater is only on a rare cold night. That is just so weird to me.

The draw of Plano, Texas

Around 50 degrees and sometimes into the high 30s is as bad as it gets.

Plano, Texas is where I have ended up. I lived in colder states my entire life. I then decided that I wanted to experience college in a warmer location. I moved to Texas for what I thought would be a brief time in my life. I then met my husband who is a Texas native. He never wanted to leave the state and I didn’t want to leave him. So Texas is where my roots are. We looked all over the state and ended up in my husband’s hometown of Plano. I had never heard of Plano, Texas before. It is the hot air balloon spot of Texas which I feel is quite odd. It has light tornado warnings, high summer heat, and mild winter weather. It is around 35 minutes away from Dallas, Texas so if I want to hop on a plane, go shopping, or experience city life, it is right there. I am really happy where I ended up. The summer heat is pretty rough. Dealing with 95-degree weather most of the time gets pretty old. As long as we have quality air conditioning going at a constant rate, it is moderately tolerable. I do enjoy that the winter season never gets that cold. Around 50 degrees and sometimes into the high 30s is as bad as it gets. Snow doesn’t happen often. When it does, people are constantly talking about it. It is always like a freak occurrence. Trust me, I don’t miss snow one bit.

Sioux Falls has a bit of everything

I like that if I need Heating and Air Conditioning, plumbing, or electric work, I have my chance of the crop.

I am convinced that Sioux Falls is one of the best locales to live, then sD sees all four seasons! I can’t imagine not having a pale white Christmas, seeing fall leaves change, Springtime flowers bloom, or a tepid summer, however how do some states go separate from? I like rotating my clothing from tepid to cold. I love that I can bundle up near the boiler for a few months and then sit out in a swimsuit and get a tan. It is the best of everything. Sioux Falls, SD is a really unbelievable locale since there is so much to do, but those with adolescents really luck out. There is a toy factory, space golf, ax throwing, filmplexs, and escape rooms to just name a few fun things to do. The steakhouses and bars are all identifiable and sell delicious food. I like that the immense city is only a 45 minute drive! Anything you could possibly want is less than an hour away. I like that if I need Heating and Air Conditioning, plumbing, or electric work, I have my chance of the crop. I try to stay local and hire only Sioux Falls, SD companies, but sometimes the price can’t be beat out of SD. Anytime I want to do fun holiday themed events or see a professional sporting event, the drive is quick and easy. I have a really nice house with a nice ploy of land for not that much money; My locale of labor is a short drive as well. My partner and I are really glad that my nice friend and I ended up in Sioux Falls, SD.
