So, this past weekend I made the big move. Yeah, you know the one.
I finally moved out of my parents’ house!
After 9 months out of school, I assume that now you can call me a full-blown ADULT. Yup, paying my own bills and everything, thank you very much. Don’t get me wrong, I put it off as long as I could, but as we all know…after living on your own for an extended period of time it’s hard to go back to life with the fam.
And that brings me to where I am now. I’ve ventured out of my Coral Springs cocoon and nestled myself in the more southern city of Dania Beach (in a nice new townhouse, might I add).
Sure, there’s a downside to all of this. No more free place to stay, no more free home-cooked meals, no more saving money for this very coming-of-age event. But where there’s negative, there’s always positive. And there are lots.
One positive is…I get to learn about a whole new area. I’ve pretty much got Coral Springs down with the 20 years I’ve had to explore. But down here, now this is a place I don’t know too much about. Sure, I hear about different things from different people…check out this, you should see that…but now it’s actually in MY backyard.
As a matter of fact, the townhouse into which I moved is right across the street from IGFA Fishing Hall of Fame and Museum. Not only that, Outdoor World, Bass Pro Shops, and Islamorada Fish Co. are all right there in the same complex. And if I don’t find enough to do in Dania Beach, I’ve got Hollywood, Davie, and Fort Lauderdale just a hop, skip, and a jump away. And that brings me to another positive about moving on down here…
The nightlife, of course! Now I’m only minutes away from downtown Fort Lauderdale and the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, the old stompin’ grounds on the weekends for my friends and I. And during the day, now I’m right down the road from the beach! I couldn’t ask for more.
I’ll let you know how it goes as I get acclimated. I’ll even let you in on some of the local hidden treasures I find as I explore my new surroundings. But for now, all I know is…I like where I’m at and I like what I see.
