This is a site that goes beyond just a singular subject. I want to dive deeper into discovering places to live or vacation, spots to gather, food to be tasted and adventures to be found in the St. Petersburg area along with a sprinkling of thoughts about life.

Let me start by introducing myself. My name is Fallon, (bet you could have guessed that from the site name lol). In spring of 2023 my husband, Brett and I made a decision to wipe the slate clean so to speak. Although we loved our lives in Central Texas, we had everything there, both sets of parents, lifelong friends, a comfortable home on a beautiful ranch and a thriving horse training business, we felt the urge to seek out a new adventure. An opportunity had fallen in our laps that led us both, along with our 2 dogs, to St. Petersburg, Florida.

Let me tell ya, it was scary, and stressful, and anxiety inducing, and there was a bunch of thoughts along the lines of “Are we crazy?”, but we did it anyway. And it was one of the best things that we ever did for ourselves, for our marriage and even for the relationships with our friends and family back in Texas. To give you the short version for the sake of NOT trying to turn this blog post into a novel. We were burnt out. The candle was burning at both ends, we felt like we worked 24/7 and despite the massive number of blessings that we had, we were usually too tired to enjoy them. And we didn’t even know it until we made the decision to start over.

I can remember the moment in vivid detail because it felt like 1 million pounds had been lifted off my shoulders. I took what felt like my first deep breath in years and I have taken many, many more since then.

Shortly after moving here, the opportunity that fell into our laps didn’t quite go as planned (does anything ever?). Thank God Brett had a great career as a journeyman lineworker to fall back on and he just so happened to have an old friend from apprentice school looking for a lineman to add to his crew. A big bonus is that I was able to not work with Bretts full support.

So began what I like to call my “housewife” phase of life. Also known as, Fallon needs to catch up on sleep, detox, and destress for the next 6 months. And I am thankful that I was able to do it. And I slept A LOT. And played with our pups. And cooked (which made Brett very happy). When I wasn’t doing all of that I was exploring our new home and rediscovering things that I used to enjoy. I have even found some new things that I love to do.

Although my 6-month hiatus from reality was incredible, by December 31, 2023, I was officially bored out of my mind. We were driving through the neighborhood where we now live, looking at the house that we had under contract, that we now own and live in, and I told Brett I was ready to get after it again. This time it wasn’t going to be training horses though. This time I wanted to go into real estate.

This wasn’t a completely new idea; we have a good friend in Texas, who is a successful agent, that had been encouraging me to get licensed for a while and it sounded like it would be a good fit. and it has been. I love the hustle and the challenge, but most of all I enjoy helping people. I was taught from young age that hard work and dedication are the keys to making anything successful. This new venture gets to grow from the start with all of the knowledge that I gained in my last business and that makes me excited to get out of bed in the morning.

St. Petersburg has become my happy place. I have re learned how to breathe here. The possibilities are endless here and I am excited to share them with you.
