You should meet up with Lynnette Yoder-fellow UA-camr. She’s in Sarasota. She has featured soo many cool places there. Soo glad y’all are happy to be in beautiful Florida!
I was going to say the same thing!
I was just thinking the same thing.
I'm so jealous as I could not afford to live in Sarasota. I did live outside of Orlando for six and a half years and I do miss it❤
And they flip houses
You guys are such a nice couple. I can see you actually still enjoy each other after all these yrs..kids and all the hurdles life throws at you. That's because you truly love God n live your life wanting to please our Heavenly Father.. God Bless each of you.
Thank you for your kindness
Amy, I have so enjoyed watching the family and especially you and Greg being together, laughing, eating, shopping. Have loved seeing how happy and excited all of you are with the new house. Cant wait to see it. God is sooo good!
Amy you and Greg are so cute together, nice to see y’all together happy, laughing and excited also. Can’t wait to see y’all’s new home. Have a great day. The beach 🏝 is beautiful. Thank you for sharing the beach with us.
Hello, this is Mary. I recall the country in Michigan, the move to rental house and the house in NC in the mountains. Now you are in the city. Quite the change . Like everyone else been enjoying checking videos out each day to await getting to see your new house and lifestyle. . Wishing it'll be everything you've hoped for.
You can see just how in love you two are! I’m excited for your family. Did any of the kids object to moving or was everyone on board? You and Greg should do a sit down Q&A.
Wait until Amy rolls a Publix cart! So smooth! 🥰💕🙏👍🏻👍🏻😎
I lived in Spring Hill Florida for over 30 Years, great place
Always put baby powder in your beach bag! It makes the sand slide right off!!
That is a great idea!
@@Stevie-oy8zj they stopped making baby powder with the cancer causing substance. It's fine to use externally
You guys are so funny! I enjoybyour videos with my morning coffee. Can’t wait to see your new house and the unpacking.
Great tip for sand.
@@MCOTJ1212 that's literally what I said
Omg! That’s so cool! I have family right where y’all are going to be living. So cool! Enjoy! I grew up part of my life in FL and my parents still live there. So beautiful! Congratulations and God bless!
I prefer the gulf side of FL. You don’t have the sharks like they do on the other side of Florida. Plus they don’t have jellyfish as bad either. Plus the ocean isn’t as rough. Love visiting the beach in FL. ❤
I’m picky about my grocery cart too. Cold items are grouped together so they can be put up on the belt first. That way they are last in the car and first in the house.
I live across the road from the sea, I can see the sea out of my window. Our coastline is very cold, not warm for many months in the year. But it’s still beautiful. We have the Tall Ships coming into our Port in three weeks time, it’s going to be busy. You all seem to be so excited and looking forward to your new stage of life.
You have made it an adventure for everyone. Xxx
You can have your beaches, I really liked the mountains.
What branch of service was Greg in? Also thank you for your service Greg. You all seem to be having so much fun. So happy for you all!
Amy I also have a picture of the beach in my bathroom. I live in NY, but I've never been to a clean beach before. I pray God will bless me to see a clean beach in my lifetime. I'm 65 and happily married to a great man for 25 years. may you and your family continue to be blessed. GOD BLESS
You two have a great relationship! That's Great!
Greg its the engineer in you knowing what fits a space the trolley us just that Amy's the multi tasked always having to find something to do that's why we love watching you both .
You both look so much happier in your energy the places we live has a huge impact on our daily mental and emotional health enjoy God bless
Convenience food always costs more. But it's still cheaper than eating out for every meal all week. But it's also all fun foods and very simple to put together for a stress free week.
Good morning, You should find out when the turtle run is ( can't remember the name ) where the babies that are blocked off and leave the nest to go to the water , the kids might enjoy that i did as a kid
I seen Florida for the first time last August and was just as excited as you are. Its absolutely beautiful. Im from the mountains to and fell in love with Florida.
Your NC friends will miss you. I live close to the Outer Banks and enjoy it as often as my schedule allows. Definitely my go to place but I'm so sure you all will LOVE your new Florida home. Best wishes and I'm looking forward to the move in and all the things.
I think its a partial sand dollar not a fossil. The kids need a seashell reference book. There are several just for Florida. Welcome to the South!!!
Welcome to Florida! I heard you mention Tamiami Trail, which is also known as highway 41. It’s named that because the road goes from Tampa to Miami. Goes through the Everglades as you get south of Naples. Goes through Miccosukee Indian reservation in the Everglades. Really cool sites to see too. Enjoy!
Parasailing , allows you to see all the marine life below you, including how close sharks are to the shoreline 🌸
We're in Michigan but drive to Florida every year with our 8 kiddos...we just got back from taking them to the gulf coast for the 1st time! If you ever get the chance, Longboat Key is AMAZING!!!! No crowds, clear blue warm water 😍
Sounds wonderful!
I love goin to the beach.. Only downfall is having to to see half naked women..
@@tiffanyrolla9773Longboat Key was nearly empty!!!!!
Your joy is palpable through this video! You truly radiate joy and peace! Im a Midwesterner through and through so I’m so excited to “experience” the Florida life through your videos!
Me to from Vermont.
Oh my God did y'all see their back yard? That was enormous! I wonder what town in Florida do they reside. I have a lot of relatives in Florida on my father's side of the family. Me, my mother, and father are born and raised in Texas. My sister was the only one born in Tallahassee, Florida, but raised here in Texas.
If you have a Winn Dixie close by it is cheaper than Publix has some good sales but Winn Dixie has alot of good sales.
We lived on a boat for 10 1/2 years in the Gulf of Mexico. We have been to all these beaches and more. You and your happy family are bringing back such happy memories. All of you are going to love life there. Congrats on the move.
Amy you Look soooo Happy and Youthful I am very Happy for you and your Lovely Family.
Thank you Greg for your service! ❤️🇺🇸
Good morning y’all. Welcome to Florida.I am in St Pete. We retired here from Louisiana. We love it. It’s been 7 years since we transplanted here. My older son lives here. He been here about 30 years. LOL Enjoy y’all new chapter in your lives. ❤❤
I had fun watching y"all enjoy the ocean!
Once your are ready for a day trip. You really should go see the Atlantic Ocean. It really is cool to see the ocean also. I have seen Pacific, Atlantic Ocean, Gulf of Mexico, Mediterranean Sea and they really are very cool and breath taking. And each place you see them very different.
Publix is great Amy..the buy one get one deals are amazing and their coupon apps are good.And the customer service is top notch!❤
Omg that must have been completely mind blowing. First time 😮. Wow so fabulous for all of you xx
I just read that Sarasota was once the winter home of the Ringling circus and there is a Ringling museum there. I hope you guys get to check it out some day, very excited for your new adventures amy! ❤
Yes. We will definitely be going there
Cut up Strawberries, cool whip & strawberry jello, folded all together
I really love how both your husband and Maddy asked and checked with you re. location. protect your family at all costs.
My husband was in the military and he roles his clothes too and I do his stuff and it does save space too. Thanks for sharing you're experiences with us and I hope you are enjoying Florida this week? Thanks and many blessings!
Aww so happy for you all! We moved to florida from Michigan when I was 12. We eventually moved back but this brought back warm memories (literally) 😅
So beautiful! My momma retired to Naples years ago - I miss the Gulf waters. I’m happy you found your happy place - mine is also the beach and the ocean and that’s why we live on Cape Cod! Water is a bit cooler 😅. If you are looking for a great learning and fun opportunity for your kids highly recommend Audubon Corkscrew Swamp - it’s a 2.25 mile boardwalk through nature. Has all sorts of creatures including alligators, deer and so many types of birds. I have been so many times and never tired of it.
Please, please. Get a weather plan!!!!! Where to go. What to do. Do it now! Batteries, water first aid box. Watch your groceries, roaches, are bad. It may be roses now. But please plan! Love you-all. God bless. Used to live there.
I love watching you and Greg and your family makes my day
Congratulations on your move. The beaches are beautiful. The piece of shell Greg thot was coral or sponge, looked like what was left of a Conch shell. Enjoy your new season of life.
The one he said was a fossil was a shell as well. The white bird they thought was a heron was a snowy egret.
Lol! You’ll be putting up mountain pictures soon on your beach walls! 😁
Thanks for sharing I’m really enjoying it.❤❤❤❤❤
You two look so happy to be back together. ☺️
Ahhh I was waiting for your video to drop! I'm loving watching all things of your family's new journey in Florida!! 🙌❤️
@@ronandpattitelfer7793 for it to be uploaded to UA-cam for us to watch
I’m loving the sweet banter between you and Greg ! Your love for each other is so evident ! May God continue to bless you and the family ! 🥰🤗💖🙏🏼
The capri sun doesn’t take good anymore since they added monk fruit. It’s less sugar but also less taste.
My goodness, so happy for you and your family. Can't wait to see your house and watch the unpacking process. Hope you have a fantastic weekend, see you on Monday!❤🙂🙏
Naples, Marco Island, and Sanibel Island have the prettiest beaches.
My dear friend Barb, it was from Sarasota, Florida and moved to the Midwest after marrying her husband. I can remember her scraping the snow off of her car after work she would say Mary do you know why I am here? And then she’d say love. Lol
When you were driving over the bridge it was not the manatee river but was the intercoastal waterway. ❤ I have lived in Florida for 30 years. You all have arrived just in time for the heat and humidity!!! You will see dolphins, manatees, jellyfish, fish of all kinds. We live in such a beautiful area!!! Enjoy and do not forget the sunscreen. The sun can be brutal.
You will also see alligators in many of the ponds in subdivisions and parks. It is important to watch for the signs. And also do not feed them.
Wow it's looking like you have a lot of Floridian followers giving you all kinds of good tips that's wonderful❤
So fun to go shopping with you.. you’re making me smile.. just made my day .. love you all
Can't wait to see the house, and how you organise it! How are all the other animals coping with the move?
i have always heard Sanibel Island is best for shell hunting.
It's so fun seeing Greg back in the videos!! I'm so happy for you guys!! ❤ love from Maine
I am absolutely loving these vlogs!! So excited for your new adventures!!
I’ve lived in Florida for 51 years ( since I was 4) my no was like you Amy she lived the heat, the sun and the beach. So if you go north you’ll hit AnnaMaria island … it’s cute and would be a great place for you and Greg to take your getaway for an anniversary. St Pete’s beach is more like Myrtle Beach to me. It’s so pretty. No the springs are cool here too. Three things that stay in my van… sunscreen, water and flip flops lol
We have gone to the gulf Panama City, Destin, pensacola for years but haven’t gotten to in the last few years. Just really study up on the beaches and white the color of the flags mean. I tan very easy but when it comes to Florida you have to wear sunscreen and reapply constantly. I promise it’s best to listen to the people who live in Florida for all the Do’s and Don’t. They know what they are talking about! I’ve been going since I was a teen and my parents went over all the rules but I still had a lot to learn once we got there. Would be great to study as their school work. Have a wonderful weekend!
Greg was in the military? Wow. Didn't realize that. How long ago?
I have always lived near the ocean but I was as giddy as you were when I went to the mountains for the first time. I love how much you are enjoying this move and I can not wait to see your new home.
Another comment...Let me know when you get settled, cause we're a coming to see ya! Tell the kids to skootch over! Bwwhahaha. It's so beautiful!
What I really enjoy is the joy you all have moving to Florida I went there once I am from Europe and I loved it . Have a great adventure exploring and enjoying life in Florida you deserve this
Sso excited. I've been following this entire journey
I am a Publix shopper and love it. Walmart is about 15 minutes away or so, and I have 7 Publix stores in my town. Walmart prices are better, but Publix is great to shop the BOGOs.
My mom use to live in Sarasota, Lucille Balls old house is right by that bridge you crossed
we only can blueberry coffee creamer at Walmart during Febuary I am from Michigan.
Thank you for sharing Amy loving the tour
You are just over an hour from plant city Florida and parksdale strawberry farm. They have the BEST Strawberries and Strawberry shakes. You have got to take a ride to there❤
Saving..thank you
I was raised in Port Charlotte Florida. I was actually Miss Charlotte County 83 lol ..way back. Maddy looks so happy🥰
Love it
Bradenton beach! My old neighborhood, enjoy! Loved FL when I lived there that Sunshine all the time just uplifts the spirits
I love the fan palm trees. I hadn’t seen them before we went on vacation. So many different varieties
Amy fry Greg some chicken!!! To avoid the grease and smell try frying it outside in a deep fryer, same with fish. You get to enjoy it without all the mess and smells. Hope this helps. You all are truly enjoying being in Florida.
We love the gulf side best as well!!!! We have been to Destin, Gulf shores and Panama City Beach. PCB is our favorite and are going next month. We live in Missouri. I am so happy you guys are back together again. I bet it felt like a lifetime. Greg I organize my cart as well!!!!!!!!!!! :)
So happy for y'all . Amy you are so happy and it's awesome. I love the beach so much . Florida is so beautiful. Thanks for sharing with us Amy .
Congratulations to you and your family. God bless you all.
Thank you for sharing your moving experience with us Amy. I do have to say, I am more like Greg. Laundry is folded nicely and wrinkle free as possible. My grocery cart is like tetris. I even line my groceries on the conveyor belt neatly to help the checker. My husband can focus on a project and come in right behind him to dot all of the i’s and cross all of the t’s. This world needs all of us, I like to say😊
Absolutely 💯 everyone has their strengths and can be used differently.. especially in a marriage
Oh my goodness I thought that I was the only one that put food on the conveyer belt in a specific way to help the operator to pack things in the bag with like items. The other day I put my freezer bag up followed by frozen and fridge items. Then my normal bags with like items together which I think is logical. The checkout operator put the canned and boxed items into the freezer bag, the laundry detergent that I always put up with the other toiletries and cleaners last and yet they ended up in a bag with the fruits and vegetables. I leaned over and repacked them in front of her but the next time I went a different operator did the same thing but I caught her quickly and taught her. She kept saying oh I never thought of that. I worked on supermarket checkouts after school and on the weekend when I was 15 right through 5 years of university and we were taught how to pack correctly. Sorry that ended up to be a long response to your comment.😊
If you ever go about an hour North from where you are Clearwater beach is one of our favorites. We like to go to Pier 60 right before sunset and watch it set on the beach. Vendors set up on the weekends on the pier and there is always some kind of entertainment and things for the kids to do, like different bounce houses and inflatables. Baby powder is good to have on hand to help get sand off of your feet. We keep some in the car. By the way, Florida restaurants are used to beach goers coming in, sand and all. And last but not least, wear sunblock every day you are outside, even those long car rides can burn you through the windows. My husband's left arm is way more tan than his right because of all the driving he does during the day. I love watching the excitement from you all. 🙂
I just made a friend who moved from North Carolina. She said the same thing, they didn't go to the beach when they lived there, it was about 9 hrs. They recently moved to North Alabama and the beach is about 6 hrs from us.
So glad to see you guys are so happy and everything and exploring Florida in the area you're living in also when do you guys get to sign and move in to your new home
Sarasota has a large Mennonite community. I bet you would like Deitwilers grocery (spelling?)
I think you need to have beach bags packed with suits, water shoes, towels and sunscreen at all times with you guys in vehicles as you explore your areas more. And a cooler that lives in your vehicles. Kids might want roller blades too with all that awesome concrete around. I am so excited for your family for this next chapter in your lives. I think you will all feel like your on vacation for a long time even if your working because of how beautiful your new environment is.
As you're headed south from Anna Maria Island and cross over to Longboat Key there is a small beach called Whitney Beach. Great locals Beach with not many people around
Thank you for this
You know that Lynette Yoder lives in Sarasota. She is a UA-camr too. Sweetest lady.😊
Forgot to tell you, when picking a pineapple, pull a stem from the center of the top. If it comes out easily then it's ready to eat. If it is hard to pull out then it's not ready.
Ohhh WoW, thank you guys for taking us on your beautiful beach hopping adventures!! I can't wait to see all of the amazing places that this new life's journey will take you. There are so many nooks and crannies out there to find and explore and I just love all the laughter and excitement from everyone!! Wishing you all a happy weekend, I can't wait to see more!~Lisa from Virginia🧡🌅💙
Lynnette Yoder lives in Sarasota, maybe you will get to meet up with her, wonderful family.
Great video, you are living this new life really well so far, God Bless you all. Diana NZ ❤
Good morning watching your new adventure from 🍁 Canada 🇨🇦
My husband is the same with the groceries. Everything with him has to be single file in the check out line.😂 I just put it all on at once.
Good morning guys 💝
I have the cookbook 💝🎉
I'm so glad everyone is settling in to the apt til you get in to your new house. 💝
So exciting 💝
I just cracked up when I heard you dancing to "It's Tricky. Y'all are having such a good time. I know that it was worth the drive. Have a great day everyone. Ohh and tell Jayden you go girl you got them moves.
Lol love my kiddos
It's named Coquina Beach because of all the Coquina shells
I went to Anna Maria island once when my mother from Germany was visiting the US it was a wonderful time. At the time there was a restaurant out in the water on a deck and dolphins and manatees were swimming all around us. It was unreal
@amy Maryon I am truly so happy that you and Greg are together, and that you got moved. I can’t wait to see what Florida brings. I love it there you could go back to the discount stores every three months and stick up lol. Publix is great I love it but it’s so expensive. Have a great day get settled and o hope it’s everything you want many hugs 🤗
Blue skies and white clouds look beautiful. I'm in central Illinois and we've had the smoky hazy skies from Canada. Blessings. I'm living Florida life through you.
