Short answer to OP: Yes, very much. Wife was uncertain at first but she loves it as much as I do now, maybe more.

Short response to those who "hate" Florida and certain aspects of Florida life, frankly, if I were King of The World (applied, but sadly was not hired for that position) there are some tweaks I'd apply, but since I'm just a lowly pawn, I accept the things I cannot change and try to keep the emotion of hatred out of my soul. A few deep breaths in the early morning air seems to help a lot in that regard.

In response to what I've enlarged in type, in above quote, I think we are becoming the city around which suburbs develop. I'm OK with that.

EDIT. last line in quote did not enlarge...but hopefully it is obvious what I was referring to...
