I moved from the Midwest to Florida for my husband's job. Now, I don't ever want to leave our city on the Emerald Coast.

My husband and I enjoy living in Florida even though I never expected it.

• My husband's military assignment brought us from the Midwest to Destin, Florida.
• The Emerald Coast is beautiful and fuses big-city amenities with a welcoming, small-town community
• We've fallen in love with the Florida city, especially during its quiet offseason.

When my husband's military assignment brought us to Destin, I never imagined I'd fall in love with it so much.
