Welcome to the tour of our new Florida home! We’re all settled in and super excited that you’ve come by to see our new place. We live in a community with some really nice amenities and I’ll be sharing those with you today as well.
Come on in and let us show you around. Isn’t our orange front door pretty? We just love it!
Now, we’ve heard people have seen a 4-5 foot alligator in our lake. Eeekkk! Actually, they also say, if there’s water in Florida there’s probably a gator. But, if you don’t bother or feed them, they won’t bother you either. We’ve also heard that since all the construction people haven’t seen as many gators or any at all – wait there were more than one?! John and I haven’t seen Mr. Gator (yet) but we could one day. I’ll keep you posted on this and try to get a picture of him if I’m able to take my eyes off of it to snap a picture!
We did see a beautiful bald eagle one day at lunch. He circled our lake, swooped down to catch a fish and then ate it across the lake from our house. That was really awesome!!
A new washer and dryer are always a nice perk with a new house. We did add the white cabinets to the left for extra storage. The little red and white heart on the handle was made by Chelsea when she was young and every house we live in we put it in our laundry room. That may seem silly but it’s special to us. We also still have our son, Andy’s little wooden wren birdhouse that he made when he was young too.

looks like you are all settled in 🙂 Love the house, community and your decorating! Hopefully the gators stay away, that would be a bit scary! Thanks for sharing your life and heart with us Heather!
You’re welcome Millie and thank you so much for the super nice comments about our new home, we love it! I’d like the gator to stay away too, but I would like to see it (from a distance that is). 🙂 Hugs, Heather

Good luck in your new home. It looks lovely. We love the Atlantic side and are close to the ocean. It has been great with no real hurricanes this year. Hopefully, it will stay that way.
God Bless,
Bev

Welcome to Florida! I am also a transplant Floridian, so it’s fun to see what others think and enjoy about this cool state.

Thank you Karissa, we love it here so far! Hope you have a beautiful day! ~Heather
Your home and the surroundings are beautiful, Heather! That is a lovely lake, but Mr. Gator would have stopped me dead in my tracks. I grew up in Louisiana — home to several venomous snakes, and I now live in Arizona, home to rattlesnakes & scorpions! At least here, you can pretty much avoid the slithery things if you stay away from the open desert. I do hope you don’t encounter Mr. Gator ever!
You’re too funny Carol about Mr. Gator and I was pretty concerned before we moved here too. But, after talking to different people, my mind was set at ease. I wouldn’t mind seeing one at a different lake in our area, just not up close or near our home. 😉 Thanks for the nice comments about our new home and enjoy your weekend. ~Heather
