Busy Wednesday, so posting my guest post as a post :)

oh what a busy day today! trying to speak with over 460 seniors today was no joke. glad it is done, i need a break. it will be nice to sit at my desk tomorrow. so since i am SOOOO tired right now, but do not want to leave you all without a blog post, i took my guest post that i did for this blog: Munchkins and the Military and made it my post for the day today. she also found this really cool picture too :) lucky lady who runs the blog is on a cruise. that is where i need to be too. although it was busy...i still love my state of Florida! enjoy the post below!

Ahhh, sunshine, beaches, football, oranges...yes, I am talking about the state of Florida! I love Florida. I was born and basically raised in Florida. The military always moved us, but somehow we always ended up back in Florida. I have lived in Fort Lauderdale, FL. (place of birth), Orlando, FL., Jacksonville, FL. (my love currently lives in this great city), Tallahassee, FL. (for college), and Pensacola, FL. Here are 10 fun facts about Florida. What are some fun facts about your state? If you are from Florida, what is your favorite fun fact?
