10
00:00:40,000 –> 00:00:43,510
so why don’t we start by giving our
audience a little background my name is
11
00:00:43,510 –> 00:00:49,420

home and loving it and loving her dream
15
00:01:08,50 –> 00:01:13,690
of living in florida so let me let me
ask in general what inspires you
16
00:01:13,690 –> 00:01:19,300
i would say people themselves inspire me
I’m inspired by the people out there who
17
00:01:19,300 –> 00:01:24,880
do phenomenal things every single day my
parents my husband my children my
18
00:01:24,880 –> 00:01:31,330
friends the people in my past the people
i hope in my present they just I see
19
00:01:31,330 –> 00:01:35,440
someone do something incredible and I’m
like wow that’s just amazing i can do
20
00:01:35,440 –> 00:01:40,630
that you know when or why I’m not doing
it and so it becomes a goal of mine to
21
00:01:40,630 –> 00:01:46,179
just be a better person every single day
by the people that I know and one
22
00:01:46,179 –> 00:01:50,560
hundred percent by my faith as being a
child Christ and telling myself every
23
00:01:50,560 –> 00:01:51,160
day
24
00:01:51,160 –> 00:01:54,640
what can you do today to be a better
person
25
00:01:54,640 –> 00:01:59,319
what can you improve on just go for it
and have a goal every single day when i
26
00:01:59,319 –> 00:02:04,209
get up to the small to the large that’s
pretty much what inspires me huh
27
00:02:04,209 –> 00:02:08,289
so something that you didn’t mention
about your your background was that you
28
00:02:08,288 –> 00:02:13,420
when you did move to Florida you started
up a blog right I did
29
00:02:14,20 –> 00:02:18,310
it’s called the relocated tourists it
just turned four years old four years
30
00:02:18,310 –> 00:02:23,470
old in February well yeah I can’t
believe regulations
31
00:02:24,129 –> 00:02:29,18
thanks oh and it was just a brainchild
actually it was started by my husband
32
00:02:29,19 –> 00:02:35,200
back in 2010-2011 2009 I believe or 10
33
00:02:35,730 –> 00:02:41,159
the idea was born simply of my husband
looking up information online and he
34
00:02:41,159 –> 00:02:45,359
just could not find anything that had a
collection of it on one site there’s
35
00:02:45,360 –> 00:02:50,190
many sites out there that have the
information for their city or their
36
00:02:50,190 –> 00:02:54,420
suburb or whatever but nobody had
collected all of it and he was just
37
00:02:54,420 –> 00:02:58,649
trying to collect just a tiny bit of it
to figure out where to move and what
38
00:02:58,650 –> 00:03:04,19
school district you know your child will
be in and it all has to connect to make
39
00:03:04,19 –> 00:03:10,110
it work and basically he collected
information and we saved it and he said
40
00:03:10,110 –> 00:03:14,220
Amy you know what we should write a blog
and that people could follow our your
41
00:03:14,220 –> 00:03:19,349
adventure in our journey and see where
it takes us and on top of it just hold
42
00:03:19,349 –> 00:03:25,950
us accountable for your choices are
reasons our our adventure and so that’s
43
00:03:25,950 –> 00:03:29,879
how I came to be so how was your dream
received by the rest of your family
44
00:03:29,879 –> 00:03:36,540
members that you were starting a blog
you’re moving at first they were a
45
00:03:36,540 –> 00:03:42,929
little bit surprised i think they knew
that I loved Disney immensely we had
46
00:03:42,930 –> 00:03:47,669
gotten vacation there a bunch of times
with both girls they knew that we loved
47
00:03:47,669 –> 00:03:52,919
it a lot and we just recently had my
daughter’s godmother here she could
48
00:03:52,919 –> 00:03:58,590
pinpoint the date of when we were
telling her back ten years ago of you
49
00:03:58,590 –> 00:04:02,190
know sitting in our living room talking
to her about someday we will live in
50
00:04:02,190 –> 00:04:06,660
orlando and we’ll we’ll live near disney
and we’ll get to go and we want and
51
00:04:06,660 –> 00:04:12,90
enjoy the sunshine and the pools so
people knew that this was coming but a
52
00:04:12,90 –> 00:04:16,500
lot of people have dreams rightfully so
but it’s just so hard to make them come
53
00:04:16,500 –> 00:04:21,779
true and for us we just decided that it
was time and so parents were on board
54
00:04:21,779 –> 00:04:27,000
and we had a huge goodbye party i would
suggest anyone do that because that just
55
00:04:27,000 –> 00:04:29,99
helps that send-off
56
00:04:29,99 –> 00:04:31,650
you know you just feel like everybody’s
on board and they’re all excited for you
57
00:04:31,650 –> 00:04:35,400
and they’re all happy for you we had our
church there and are both sides of the
58
00:04:35,400 –> 00:04:41,190
family all came and grandmas and it was
just it was so rewarding to have Emily
59
00:04:41,190 –> 00:04:45,570
school we not friends there and cure
school friends there and just the
60
00:04:45,570 –> 00:04:48,849
support was so helpful because we didn’t
61
00:04:48,849 –> 00:04:54,789
feeling like things words tied up
everything was good and it was awesome
62
00:04:54,789 –> 00:04:55,628
feeling
63
00:04:55,629 –> 00:04:59,889
so what steps did you take first to get
your blog started and as well to get the
64
00:04:59,889 –> 00:05:05,379
move going well with the blog Craig is
an IT so he basically researched it and
65
00:05:05,379 –> 00:05:08,889
found wordpress and we signed up for it
66
00:05:08,889 –> 00:05:12,879
I just want to cross the social media
stream of what we could hook up with the
67
00:05:12,879 –> 00:05:17,469
relocated tourists name he thought of
that name that is all Craig they thought
68
00:05:17,469 –> 00:05:22,659
of the name and you thought of the
tagline to which is my absolute favorite
69
00:05:22,659 –> 00:05:28,149
and it’s going from what if to why not
we clung to that tagline because i’m
70
00:05:28,149 –> 00:05:33,399
going to get hard and whatnot we always
thought of it so the blog was born and
71
00:05:33,399 –> 00:05:36,879
actually remember the day went live
because i was actually a women’s retreat
72
00:05:36,879 –> 00:05:42,9
in Wisconsin there’s snow on the ground
and I remember just one girl was in the
73
00:05:42,9 –> 00:05:45,939
room and I was like my blog just went
live you know let’s see what happens and
74
00:05:45,939 –> 00:05:50,709
you know you watch the numbers and they
slowly people start to kind of filter in
75
00:05:50,709 –> 00:05:57,339
and it’s a crazy because of where it is
now with a book coming out and we
76
00:05:57,339 –> 00:06:02,50
actually did have a reality TV show
contact us about three months ago the
77
00:06:02,50 –> 00:06:05,529
email they found the blog and they loved
the idea and they’re looking for show
78
00:06:05,529 –> 00:06:09,909
about people realizing their dreams but
because of the length of time that we
79
00:06:09,909 –> 00:06:14,79
lived here we weren’t eligible but we
had given them some names of people that
80
00:06:14,79 –> 00:06:18,519
we knew so i don’t know where it’s gone
from there but it’s crazy how big it had
81
00:06:18,519 –> 00:06:22,119
gotten for us and we really weren’t
expecting that we were just kind of
82
00:06:22,119 –> 00:06:26,289
hoping that we’re gonna be held
accountable for our adventure and that
83
00:06:26,289 –> 00:06:30,68
we were going to actually do it and let
people see you know the good the bad the
84
00:06:30,69 –> 00:06:38,679
ugly and we’re just happy we we did it
so so then to move basically we started
85
00:06:38,679 –> 00:06:44,679
a spreadsheet remember it and what we
need to save and how much time we had to
86
00:06:44,679 –> 00:06:50,619
save and what we needed to say for and a
date and when we first started we were
87
00:06:50,619 –> 00:06:58,509
not moving until $MONTH 2012 of june but
because of life and situations and a job
88
00:06:58,509 –> 00:07:01,840
opportunity we were able to move it up
an entire year and we
89
00:07:01,840 –> 00:07:05,710
in june $DAY of $MONTH 2011 so
everything kind of got scrambled for a
90
00:07:05,710 –> 00:07:11,80
little bit but I was very ranh honest on
the blog i talked about Craig’s job and
91
00:07:11,80 –> 00:07:16,120
how we were excited that you know should
we move early should we not you know and
92
00:07:16,120 –> 00:07:20,139
we almost moved even earlier than that
but we just prayed about it and decided
93
00:07:20,139 –> 00:07:24,160
that no you know we had all our family
and friends in wisconsin at that point
94
00:07:24,160 –> 00:07:29,50
and moving here without that support
system that backbone and into the
95
00:07:29,50 –> 00:07:33,340
unknown and hoping that he might get
some kind of job here
96
00:07:33,340 –> 00:07:38,169
what was just too terrifying for us so
we just wait it out and God bless
97
00:07:38,169 –> 00:07:43,479
Craig with an awesome job and he was the
complete greenlight sooo to come so we
98
00:07:43,479 –> 00:07:50,830
just saved and blogs and hunt and got
rid of stuff and purged and for that I
99
00:07:50,830 –> 00:07:55,30
think was a year year-and-a-half and it
was exciting because people read along
100
00:07:55,30 –> 00:08:00,729
and got into the spirit of it and people
that were moving before us were excited
101
00:08:00,729 –> 00:08:05,860
and after us were excited and it was an
incredible journey to have the love and
102
00:08:05,860 –> 00:08:09,400
friendship there at that time even
though your vacation
103
00:08:09,400 –> 00:08:12,400
no matter what people say it is
terrifying this helpful
104
00:08:13,450 –> 00:08:18,159
it just is it’s wonderful but it’s
terrifying so we’re just we’re just
105
00:08:18,160 –> 00:08:22,330
blessed so we’re there any roblox
getting started the blog and and we’re
106
00:08:22,330 –> 00:08:28,479
moving that you came across with the
blog we did you realize what it would do
107
00:08:28,479 –> 00:08:35,860
to our privacy to be pretty honest here
that I’m very honest but I mean girl
108
00:08:35,860 –> 00:08:36,789
honest here
109
00:08:36,789 –> 00:08:42,640
um we didn’t realize that exposing our
lives to the general public meant that
110
00:08:42,640 –> 00:08:48,279
your target so that it was awesome it
was very awesome and it was great how
111
00:08:48,279 –> 00:08:52,689
did you go about overcoming those
privacy issues a lot of praying a lot of
112
00:08:52,690 –> 00:08:57,430
designing of what we wanted with the
blog do we want people to know about our
113
00:08:57,430 –> 00:09:02,680
daily lives anymore do we want people to
it so hard to explain because you want
114
00:09:02,680 –> 00:09:07,329
people to just enjoy the adventure with
you and just be like oh if they can do
115
00:09:07,330 –> 00:09:11,860
it I can do it and you wanna I’m I want
to inspire people and make them happy
116
00:09:11,860 –> 00:09:13,329
and excited
117
00:09:13,329 –> 00:09:17,378
and I think people i just think it comes
down to bed communication and healthy
118
00:09:17,379 –> 00:09:23,290
expectations of what it was I was just a
Midwestern girl with a family that
119
00:09:23,290 –> 00:09:27,99
decided to write about a blog about
moving to Florida and if people know
120
00:09:27,100 –> 00:09:31,269
once before us I I please let us know
because Craig searched and searched and
121
00:09:31,269 –> 00:09:35,980
searched and sure we’re not the first we
were looking for us we were looking for
122
00:09:35,980 –> 00:09:41,79
a blog like ours that we didn’t know
that existed yet of someone that just
123
00:09:41,79 –> 00:09:45,699
talked about it for the rawness of you
know some people just say yeah I moved
124
00:09:45,699 –> 00:09:49,389
it’s been great here and other people i
want to hear and that’s what people
125
00:09:49,389 –> 00:09:53,529
really want I feel I really feel that
the people want to hear you know okay so
126
00:09:53,529 –> 00:09:57,429
how is the long here you know or how is
it taking care of a pool or the bigger
127
00:09:57,429 –> 00:10:01,689
stuff like okay so the school’s you know
Emily had school situations that were
128
00:10:01,689 –> 00:10:05,709
rough that we just never saw coming and
how could you even know that until
129
00:10:05,709 –> 00:10:11,229
you’ve experienced it so for me taking a
step back and going ok what is the
130
00:10:11,230 –> 00:10:16,239
purpose of this anymore what is the
reason I want to do this anymore and it
131
00:10:16,239 –> 00:10:21,40
was a phenomenal ride it has been a
phenomenal ride and the book is like the
132
00:10:21,40 –> 00:10:25,449
cherry on the cupcake you know I’m
thrilled for it but it’s it’s the story
133
00:10:25,449 –> 00:10:29,439
is I wouldn’t say coming to an end as
much as that chapter is I’m thrilled
134
00:10:29,439 –> 00:10:33,40
that we did it I’m thrilled that we
talked about it because we inspired a
135
00:10:33,40 –> 00:10:36,759
lot of other people but I’m also
thrilled that in a sense working our
136
00:10:36,759 –> 00:10:41,739
privacy back is there any parts of all
this relocating that hasn’t quite worked
137
00:10:41,739 –> 00:10:46,119
out for you i would say like I stated
the school’s you never know you just
138
00:10:46,119 –> 00:10:50,889
have no idea until you experience it and
I know everybody who is listening to
139
00:10:50,889 –> 00:10:54,549
this who has gone through this is
completely shaking their head yes
140
00:10:54,549 –> 00:10:59,769
because some kids can just do phenomenal
in school and you could put them in any
141
00:10:59,769 –> 00:11:04,209
school and they’ll just flourish and
there are some children who just they
142
00:11:04,209 –> 00:11:08,290
need more love any more attention they
just need that little something special
143
00:11:08,290 –> 00:11:12,969
that they’re just some schools down here
can’t provide it
144
00:11:12,970 –> 00:11:17,949
we just had some incidents is that you
know I just wish that we would know we
145
00:11:17,949 –> 00:11:22,419
would have known about coming before we
have come but you just you can’t its
146
00:11:22,419 –> 00:11:26,139
life you just can’t know it until you go
through it so
147
00:11:26,740 –> 00:11:31,360
I with these schools with schools were a
big one the living area you know how
148
00:11:31,360 –> 00:11:34,690
close you want to be to deliver TSA’s
that’s always been a big thing with a
149
00:11:34,690 –> 00:11:39,100
lot of people and I know people that
lived close to disney like we do and
150
00:11:39,100 –> 00:11:42,910
didn’t like it because it was too
touristy and I completely agree with
151
00:11:42,910 –> 00:11:48,189
that because just going to walmart can
be a headache and when I go to volunteer
152
00:11:48,190 –> 00:11:52,720
or just going to the store you know I
for is just a headache and I I
153
00:11:52,720 –> 00:11:57,490
completely get that but at the same
sense I do have to tell myself well I
154
00:11:57,490 –> 00:12:02,830
asked for this if I chose this this is
my choice this is my decision to do this
155
00:12:02,830 –> 00:12:07,29
so but again you just don’t know about
it until you you live it
156
00:12:07,29 –> 00:12:10,750
it’s stuff like that especially if you
come from a big city and then come to
157
00:12:10,750 –> 00:12:14,740
orlando it’s probably not gonna be that
much different for you but for me coming
158
00:12:14,740 –> 00:12:21,10
from a smaller City Wisconsin to orlando
is was a humongous change and from
159
00:12:21,10 –> 00:12:25,120
everything from the weather to just the
different the different cultures you’re
160
00:12:25,120 –> 00:12:29,380
living with a lot of people our
relocator is here so you have just a
161
00:12:29,380 –> 00:12:34,360
crockpot a mixture of all sorts of
people from all over the world and so
162
00:12:34,360 –> 00:12:38,829
it’s just dealing with the different
types and the different people and it’s
163
00:12:38,829 –> 00:12:43,719
awesome because it opened my eyes to
people and things that I had zero
164
00:12:43,720 –> 00:12:49,390
exposure to wisconsin so to me I’ve seen
it more as a positive but it’s something
165
00:12:49,390 –> 00:12:52,29
that that everybody who moves here has
to get used to
166
00:12:52,29 –> 00:12:58,990
along with the crazy driving and the
tourists and the bugs and we just our
167
00:12:58,990 –> 00:13:06,130
first live alligator in our suburb mr.
Hooke yep it was exciting though so it’s
168
00:13:06,130 –> 00:13:09,910
stuff like that but i can tell you will
be here three years soon
169
00:13:09,910 –> 00:13:14,920
jun 5th will be our three-year
anniversary here and i can tell you what
170
00:13:14,920 –> 00:13:19,420
bothered me your one does not bother me
now coming into year three if that makes
171
00:13:19,420 –> 00:13:20,79
sense
172
00:13:20,79 –> 00:13:24,880
yeah no definitely could you tell our
listeners more about your volunteer work
173
00:13:24,880 –> 00:13:28,810
i love to without seeing the place i
will just say that I work with the
174
00:13:28,810 –> 00:13:34,89
homeless downtown Orlando basically i’m
the director of a ministry that helps
175
00:13:34,89 –> 00:13:40,540
close them and hygiene we provide shoes
and we get donations from people
176
00:13:40,540 –> 00:13:44,800
we’re almost like a good well we have
our own space downtown and they come and
177
00:13:44,800 –> 00:13:49,870
shop every other thursday and we help
provide whatever they need on top of the
178
00:13:49,870 –> 00:13:53,800
fact that we have clients that we help
once they get off the streets get an
179
00:13:53,800 –> 00:13:57,370
apartment help them with their bills you
know smaller things like just sitting
180
00:13:57,370 –> 00:14:00,520
with them listening to them talk or cry
or pray with them
181
00:14:01,210 –> 00:14:06,790
it has been an experience of a lifetime
and even though we’re going to use going
182
00:14:06,790 –> 00:14:11,290
into your three here I i still feel like
this is a big reason why God has brought
183
00:14:11,290 –> 00:14:16,780
myself at least hear my mom actually
joked that before we left Wisconsin it
184
00:14:16,780 –> 00:14:20,350
would take me three years to settle and
I don’t know if everyone’s just thought
185
00:14:20,350 –> 00:14:25,690
about that but you’re one I thought well
okay the scariness is off and then
186
00:14:25,690 –> 00:14:29,440
you’re too i was like ok I think I know
what I want to do but i’m not sure about
187
00:14:29,440 –> 00:14:34,90
the blog and where it’s going in your 3
i’m now really felt like we found our
188
00:14:34,90 –> 00:14:41,950
church we found our faith we just found
a home to celebrate our faith and meet
189
00:14:41,950 –> 00:14:47,860
other people and our exposure for the
last three years here has just been
190
00:14:47,860 –> 00:14:52,960
wonderful through the blog but it has
been solely through the blog is so all
191
00:14:52,960 –> 00:14:57,220
of my friends have been disney friends
and I love them very much but I need to
192
00:14:57,220 –> 00:15:03,550
expand a bit and just get out there and
meet people from church people from my
193
00:15:03,550 –> 00:15:09,99
current job and just even yesterday i
was blessed to be able to treat two of
194
00:15:09,100 –> 00:15:12,550
our homeless to magic kingdom for the
day that was
195
00:15:12,550 –> 00:15:15,640
I can’t even tell you I’m gonna start
crying just thinking about it so it was
196
00:15:15,640 –> 00:15:20,650
a magical amazing day and just seeing
how excited they were and just to forget
197
00:15:20,650 –> 00:15:26,79
their troubles for you know six hours
and hours we were there you know we want
198
00:15:26,80 –> 00:15:29,800
we went to the opening and a giggle
because I knew all the words the opening
199
00:15:29,800 –> 00:15:36,160
song was like well I really like Disney
World and you know we did all the things
200
00:15:36,160 –> 00:15:41,800
like you know getting the ears and you
know getting photopass everywhere and we
201
00:15:41,800 –> 00:15:47,800
didn’t meet Mickey I i forgot that bad
but it was just need to just take them
202
00:15:47,800 –> 00:15:53,260
out of the world of not knowing if they
were going to have a meal
203
00:15:53,939 –> 00:15:58,319
you know for that night that morning or
afternoon and you know it’s just great
204
00:15:58,319 –> 00:16:02,248
to take him to cosmic rays and be like
get whatever you want you know it’s on
205
00:16:02,249 –> 00:16:08,519
us and it was just it was amazing so as
much as I love the blog and i’m so
206
00:16:08,519 –> 00:16:13,109
excited for the book the ministry has
become a very large part of my life you
207
00:16:13,109 –> 00:16:16,679
know I get to go to grad sales and I
pick up all sorts of stuff for them now
208
00:16:16,679 –> 00:16:21,659
oh and you know people who know about it
they donate and even new stuff i go to
209
00:16:21,659 –> 00:16:24,329
the store and pick up something that
someone is really looking for i’ll go
210
00:16:24,329 –> 00:16:28,829
and buy it and provided from the next
time I see them and you just don’t know
211
00:16:28,829 –> 00:16:32,159
it’s like when you see like a hundred
fifty people on a Thursday you know
212
00:16:32,159 –> 00:16:35,699
they’re hugging you and there and there
crying or they’re happy or someone got a
213
00:16:35,699 –> 00:16:39,868
job interview and we’re dressing them
for the first time in a student hi it’s
214
00:16:39,869 –> 00:16:41,220
so emotional
215
00:16:41,220 –> 00:16:45,119
you know I just actually made brownies
tonight for I work wednesdays to get
216
00:16:45,119 –> 00:16:52,439
ready so to me it’s just I can’t even
put into words it’s my cup runneth over
217
00:16:52,439 –> 00:16:59,819
is all i can say well as that’s really
really sweet of you and and I i assume
218
00:16:59,819 –> 00:17:04,918
your husband as well at your whole
family to donate that much time and
219
00:17:04,919 –> 00:17:09,929
effort into it and take time out of your
time to go and to bring somebody to
220
00:17:09,929 –> 00:17:13,980
disappear to people at Disney World and
treat them for the entire day just to
221
00:17:13,980 –> 00:17:18,299
get away from their problems i’m sure it
meant the world to the only have I wish
222
00:17:18,299 –> 00:17:23,309
I could do it every day I would take it
that’s something people because it just
223
00:17:23,309 –> 00:17:27,990
it just it’s just such a stress relief
you know I’m sorry released for that you
224
00:17:27,990 –> 00:17:32,159
know just have that you know when we all
have our problems and think about your
225
00:17:32,159 –> 00:17:36,629
problems and what you go home and you
you go to your house or your spouse or
226
00:17:36,629 –> 00:17:40,889
whatever and you know you can go in your
kitchen whatever and they’re going back
227
00:17:40,889 –> 00:17:45,899
to a slab downtown or they’re they’re
sitting on a hill and that’s that’s home
228
00:17:45,899 –> 00:17:50,309
for them and so to me to be able to do
that if i could i always joke with
229
00:17:50,309 –> 00:17:56,220
people finding the lottery i’m just
going to buy them all home so we have a
230
00:17:56,220 –> 00:18:00,480
new question on the show which is if you
were stranded on a deserted island with
231
00:18:00,480 –> 00:18:01,620
your family
232
00:18:01,620 –> 00:18:04,619
what are three things you couldn’t live
without I would say first and foremost
233
00:18:04,619 –> 00:18:07,350
my Bible because it just
234
00:18:07,350 –> 00:18:12,870
gives me just before the number one
obviously inspiration but when having a
235
00:18:12,870 –> 00:18:17,549
rough day or even a happy day and I want
to praise Him I open it up and there’s
236
00:18:17,549 –> 00:18:21,360
just one person always just jump out so
i would have to have that probably keep
237
00:18:21,360 –> 00:18:24,299
saying on the desert island with my
family
238
00:18:24,299 –> 00:18:30,570
wow so good i’m a couponer i would
probably say something of a project or
239
00:18:30,570 –> 00:18:35,399
my coupons to keep me busy i am not a
not a good person thats just chills out
240
00:18:35,400 –> 00:18:37,289
i’m i’m usually go go
241
00:18:37,289 –> 00:18:43,590
so I have something to do you know it’s
probably be really really dry out there
242
00:18:43,590 –> 00:18:49,260
so see my stress for your lotion it’s
probably miss answer and planet but it’s
243
00:18:49,260 –> 00:18:54,658
what i want so my Bible some stress free
stuff and some kind of project something
244
00:18:54,659 –> 00:18:57,780
to do while we wait for people to rescue
us
245
00:18:57,780 –> 00:19:01,350
so so do you have any dreams for the
future i’m excited for the books to come
246
00:19:01,350 –> 00:19:05,580
out i’m so excited about the ministry so
i guess just that becomes bigger and
247
00:19:05,580 –> 00:19:09,570
better and that whether it stays there
whether it goes somewhere else whether
248
00:19:09,570 –> 00:19:14,580
just to continue to help people and
blessed them i just felt the call very
249
00:19:14,580 –> 00:19:19,320
loudly that I’m just meant to be here to
help and inspire others so whether the
250
00:19:19,320 –> 00:19:21,750
blog was a part of that I hope so
251
00:19:21,750 –> 00:19:26,549
the ministry is another big part i’m
just I’ve been couponing and getting
252
00:19:26,549 –> 00:19:30,179
free samples and just trying to you know
connect all those puzzle pieces together
253
00:19:30,179 –> 00:19:36,30
so that i can put forward my my best
foot on this ministry so for dreams i
254
00:19:36,30 –> 00:19:39,629
don’t know maybe take a vacation
somewhere I’ve never been i have been to
255
00:19:39,630 –> 00:19:43,380
Disneyland once but Emily Craig haven’t
been there so i think we would love to
256
00:19:43,380 –> 00:19:48,450
go out there I’m so happy right now that
I couldn’t even tell you which is really
257
00:19:48,450 –> 00:19:49,320
awesome
258
00:19:49,320 –> 00:19:54,600
I couldn’t even tell you a dream i have
right now just to live well and be at
259
00:19:54,600 –> 00:20:01,379
peace and enjoy my new home and my happy
family and that everybody is just at
260
00:20:01,380 –> 00:20:06,900
peace and things are different and for
the better and just keep moving forward
261
00:20:07,799 –> 00:20:10,830
well do you have any last thoughts for
our audience
262
00:20:10,830 –> 00:20:15,149
yes if you’re looking to relocate to
florida i just put this recently on my
263
00:20:15,150 –> 00:20:16,230
facebook page
264
00:20:16,230 –> 00:20:20,130
do it for yourself i’m thrilled to
inspire you as others
265
00:20:20,130 –> 00:20:24,480
I’m thrilled to inspire you and help you
but just make sure you do it for you and
266
00:20:24,480 –> 00:20:28,980
what I mean by that is that you can read
stuff all the time or hear this or
267
00:20:28,980 –> 00:20:32,790
whatever and they’re wonderful things
they’re they’re wonderful tools are
268
00:20:32,790 –> 00:20:38,129
wonderful for research but really just
think about what you have now versus
269
00:20:38,130 –> 00:20:42,30
what you want to have out here and if
this is your calling and this is where
270
00:20:42,30 –> 00:20:46,530
god wants you then it’s where you’re
supposed to be but just take the correct
271
00:20:46,530 –> 00:20:49,200
steps and don’t you know don’t push it
272
00:20:49,200 –> 00:20:53,460
give it time you know really think on it
and pray about it and it will
273
00:20:53,460 –> 00:20:58,170
100-percent come to fruition for you if
it’s meant to be i just want people to
274
00:20:58,170 –> 00:21:03,720
come here and have a phenomenal life and
not come here thinking that it’s a 24-7
275
00:21:03,720 –> 00:21:09,600
vacation because it’s not you know we we
also have you know our ups and downs but
276
00:21:09,600 –> 00:21:12,570
we still have to go to the grocery store
and still get gas in our car an oil
277
00:21:12,570 –> 00:21:18,629
change and kids to school and get to
work and all that good stuff and I think
278
00:21:18,630 –> 00:21:22,200
that misconception out there sometimes
that well Amy’s at disney world today
279
00:21:22,200 –> 00:21:26,610
what a life she leads and the stories
that i could tell you which will never
280
00:21:26,610 –> 00:21:31,350
come to air HIPAA are just that life is
not all sunshine and cotton candy and we
281
00:21:31,350 –> 00:21:35,459
all know that but sometimes to hear it
from someone else that has lived it and
282
00:21:35,460 –> 00:21:39,570
because we’ve been here three years I
can just tell you that event haven’t
283
00:21:39,570 –> 00:21:45,120
been to hell and I can just tell you
that through all of it i have learned
284
00:21:45,120 –> 00:21:50,429
that the dream has been amazing i’m so
glad we did i’m so glad we tried and it
285
00:21:50,430 –> 00:21:56,10
go for your dreams but i’m not going to
say no matter what because I think you
286
00:21:56,10 –> 00:22:00,390
have to be sensible and pray about it
and think about it and talk to your
287
00:22:00,390 –> 00:22:05,370
friends talk to your family and really
just get a group feeling of this is what
288
00:22:05,370 –> 00:22:09,689
it’s meant to be and make the right
choices because I just want everyone to
289
00:22:09,690 –> 00:22:14,160
flourish here and to enjoy what we’ve
gotten to do and have faith that it will
290
00:22:14,160 –> 00:22:18,750
all work out well thank you very much

press.com my publisher by mclean the
293
00:22:25,380 –> 00:22:30,150

eye out for that he’s got some
295
00:22:33,779 –> 00:22:40,440
wonderful books on his site also there
is a relocate tourists facebook page
296
00:22:40,440 –> 00:22:44,279

it I post pictures occasionally from the
parks and I try my best to answer
298
00:22:49,710 –> 00:22:55,440
questions about relocation but I am a
new in no way an expert and I don’t
299
00:22:55,440 –> 00:22:59,129
believe anyone out there is as well I
think everyone is just trial and error
300
00:22:59,129 –> 00:23:03,478
and we’re doing our best to live the
