My husband and I both grew up in the North, and we absolutely loved it. We never dreamed of leaving the North, not just because our families are there, but because of the fact that we just love the climate up North. Neither my husband nor I like to be out in the heat, so we would have never thought that we would end up moving down South. It all started with a vacation we took to a really nice amusement park down South. We ended up meeting a lot of people on that trip, and they became great friends over the process of about three years. After visiting that park with our new friends many more times, we decided that it would be good for our family to move somewhere closer to them, and that’s just what we did. It took about a year and a half for us to finally get moved in and settled into our new home. While visiting, I did notice that it was much hotter than what I was used to, but I was either inside or having too much fun to really notice it. However, once we moved there, the heat really started to get to me. The previous owners of the house left us with two air conditioners, but just those two weren’t enough for those hot summer days. We ended up buying two more air conditioners two weeks after we moved in, and then, one more a few months later. I can’t imagine what it would have been like for people in the days before air conditioning. I don’t know if I would be able to enjoy the summertime down South at all if it weren’t for the blessing of air conditioning.
