How Did You Get Here?

No, I don't need the birds and the bees speech or the stork brought you. We were wondering this morning how you got to Orlando? My wife is one of a very small group that was born and raised in Orlando. I moved here when I was 2 with my family from Baltimore because of my dad's job change. It's interesting to head why people decided to move here. We got calls from chasing that guy or girl here for marriage, to Froggy that came to Disney and decided to stay. How did you end up here?
