Orange you glad we're in Florida?

I know I know, the title of my blog is cheesy, but I had too! I mean, Florida is famous for their Oranges! ;D

My goodness it has been 12 days since I've written to you lovely people! I am so sorry. I'm going to catch you all up with a few different blogs. Do not fret my darling friends and family!

 First, Florida has been an interesting adventure to say the least. If you ever get a chance to look on Google maps, check out the landscape of Florida. It's pretty amazing how much water there is throughout the entire state. Living in Orlando, Tampa, and Jacksonville the past 12 days has definitely confirmed how wet Florida is. Oh, and how many toll roads there are...ugh. -- Tip of the day: BRING LOTS OF QUARTERS WITH YOU...then I will say, "Orange you glad you took my tip of the day?"-- Okay, I'm done, sorry. 

Anyways, the first few days we stayed in the Westgate Villas near Walt Disney World and the weather was what you would expect for Florida. Hot, sunny, humid, tropical weather. Both Jeff and I were able to enjoy the beautiful days of sunshine on our patio working and blogging. We had geckos, and ducks visiting us every few hours too. It was a wonderful getaway from all the cold weather. Yes...even I admit that it was nice to get away from the cold.

Right as I was getting used to the hot, humid air, Florida decided to throw us a curve ball. All of a sudden the weather turned dark, gray, and cold. <--Three strikes and we're out, right? 

Just when we thought the cold would ease up, it started raining!! What?! Rain AND cold in Florida? Rain, I expected, but cold? Not only that, but the first two days that we went to Walt Disney World were the days that Florida decided to go all wintery on us. We were wearing rain coats, long sleeves, and ponchos all day long. It was pretty weird for Florida.

Finally, it started to clear up for our last day at Walt Disney World, and we were able to enjoy some sunshine with Jesus!

Side Note: I will be blogging about all three of the Walt Disney World parks that we visited in separate blogs just for you!

The sunshine didn't last too long though. As we made our way to and from Jacksonville, visiting Daytona Beach along the way, a thunderstorm decided to make it's way into our life. It was so dark, that it seemed as though it was night. Jeff and I watched from our hotel window as the gray clouds turned darker and darker. Then they started forming circular shapes, as though they were swirling around. Slowly, the rain started pattering on our window. Louder, and louder, until it was practically banging against the glass, while lightening lit up the sky every minute or so. It was so crazy! It roared over us for about 30 minutes, and after that, it left just as quickly as it came. I wont lie, I was pretty scared, and stunned.Once the storm passed, Florida graced us with it's beautiful sunshine again. 

Needless to say, Florida has given us a run for our money as far as the weather goes. We've had pretty much everything it could throw at us, except for a hurricane, which I'm thankful for. 

So that is that. Orange you glad it's over? Ha, me too...for the weather, not my blog ;)
