Moving To Florida

So my friend Jess is moving to Florida.  We've been best friends since like the early 2000s.  We know all about all of each other's failed love stories.  Like me, she's not having much luck in the dating scene here in the Philly area.  Sooo she's going to try her luck down South.

She's moving to Jacksonville to be closer to her bro who lives down that way... And also she's taking a new position in her company.  I think it's a promotion, but it might just be a lateral move to the sunshine state.  Which really is a promotion because even if she's getting paid the same, she's getting paid more in sunshine.  Which is probably worth at least something.  I'm "totally supposed to come visit" according to her.  Jacksonville seems fun.  I Googled it.  They have...

A beach.

Although... That's pretty much most of Florida.

"What do you want to do today?"
"Well... We could go to the beach."
"Yeah, we did that yesterday.  And the day before. And the day before that... And before that..."
"Hmmm... Well what if we went to the beach--"
"I just told you we already did that--"
"--At a different time of day."
"I'm listening."
"You know... Go in the morning one day, then go in the afternoon another.  Then the evening a different day."
"Well now.  Hot diggity!  That's a whole new way to go to the beach!  Genius."
"See... There are plenty of things to do in Florida."

To me that's not "real" Florida though.  It's like just an extension of Georgia.  It's not Flo Rida and Pittbull territory.  It's just like... Part of Georgia.  So everyone there is like oh this is just South Georgia.  Really it's Jacksonville, South Georgia and not Florida.

But I'll visit her just the same down there in Jacksonville, South Georgia at some point in the future I'm sure.

And who knows.  Maybe she'll find a guy down there.  She's definitely some serious awesomeness and I'd love to see her meet someone and fall in love and get married and all that one day.

Jacksonville.  I can't say I've ever been.  It makes me think of that song...

"I'm sorry Miss Jackson... Oooooooo... I am for reaaaaaaal.  This one goes out to all the baby's mamas... and mama's mamas mamas.  Forever.  Forever ever.  Forever ever."

You know what I'm talking about.

 
That's classic early 2000s yo.

Anyways.  We're going out this Saturday night to celebrate her going away.  She's moving in a couple weeks.  I'm kind of sad.... But also really happy for her because she's BEYOND excited about it.
