florida is being very good to me-

things are still going well- Florida is being very good to me-

Trevor and i moved into our 2 bedroom apt nov 1st. and things are going just swimmingly :)

i really enjoy my job at Infusion Tea. i wish i didn't work 6 days a week only 5 hours shifts though... i would really like to combine them so i have more time to do other things. I did get the job at Joes Crab Shack. its a brand new one they are in the process of building- so December is when i can start that job- i am very excited for it!!! my roomie Trevor and our friend Troy also got jobs there- so that could be fun-

so overall my plan of attack for finding a job worked... out of applying to 3 jobs (Joes, Tea place & Disney) in orlando, i got hired at 2 pretty much on the spot-

i have applied at Disney(of course :) ) but have yet to hear anything- which makes me a bit sad--- but i will keep trying- even seasonal there would be nice-

i was able to go to Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party and had a GREAT time!!! i went by myself and wouldnt have had it any other way (well maybe my family, or my disney gang, and becky of couse would have been nice!!!) ! i went a bit early so i could see a few of my favorite resorts! i really do love disney, it was everything that i remembered!!

i have found a carwash, but have yet to use it-

i have found a big.O (tire kingdom), but have yet to use it-

i need to go grocery shopping, but have yet to do it-

we have a PO BOX :) its quite a drive away, but its WAY cheaper than the one close by---

the one we are using is about 15 min away and was 22$ for 6 months... the one thats 3 min away was 26$ per month--- yeah, i think we made the right choice :)

so far i havent got a paycheck yet because of when i started and the times they do checks.. so the past few weeks have been VERY tricky, but i have survived- needless to say, my next paycheck will come in handy!!!

so thats just a random blurb of whats going on-

it has been a bit chilly the past few days, about 50 degrees- (i didnt say freezing, i said chilly) i am hoping for a visit from my family and hopefully some friends!!!

things are looking up

last week at a glance: My First Week in ORLANDO

Monday: Celeste and i arrived in orlando in a timely fashion - we searched for where i would be living- found it just as it was getting dark- we had dinner at mimi's and made a quick stop to Target before we called it a night-

Tuesday: woke up and got ready for the day- walked around the mall, had early lunch at Panera Bread, took another trip to Target and dropped Celeste off at the airport - when i got back home i met Trevor, we went out for lunch(yes, i had 2 lunches that day) then did a bit of grocery shopping at Publix- we drove around International Drive, and got a bit lost- but found our way back home-

Wednesday: drove around, saw our new apt(we move in nov 1)got a bit more familar with the area, had a late lunch @ Bahama Breeze

Thursday: interview day - applied&interviewed at Joes Crab Shack - then open interview at Infusion Tea - Infusion Tea called me back 4 hours later to let me know i got the job- we drove around Downtown Orlando for a while- Trevor and I ate dinner at a really cool Mexican place close by my work-

Friday: went to work to fill out paperwork at 10am - came home and just relaxed by the pool- Trevor brought home pizza for dinner-

Saturday: LAZY DAY - i did nothing, not a single thing- didnt leave the house once :)

Sunday: bought black shirts for work- went to DTD, possibly cried because i love disney soooo much, ate lunch at Earl of Sandwich -

TODAY: its 10AM - im ready for the day, anticipating 5pm.. thats when i work- im leaving here at 4pm. im not sure how traffic will be but it takes about 45 min to get to work from where i live right now- it will save me 20 when we get into our new apt- im not sure what i'm doing after work- hopefully something will come up-

EXTRAS:

• right now we are staying in his aunts vacation home till ours is ready- this one has 3 bedrooms, and a private pool- its quite nice!!
• our new apt is closer to everything- its just a 2 bedroom, so we dont have to find a 3rd roomie, we will each get our own bedroom and bathroom, no private pool, but there arent as many kids at that location-
• i still need to find somewhere to wash my car-
• i dont know how much longer i can handle not having access to WDW- i might have to break down and dip into my savings to get a year pass-
• i hope i make some friends at work-

overall i love it here- i think i will continue to be very pleased!

its good to be home

so we made it!!! after a long 4 day drive from Utah to Florida, Celeste and i arrived in one piece!

Friday: 12 HRS. Nephi - Colby KS

Saturday: 9 HRS. Colby KS - Caseyville IL

Sunday: 8 HRS. Caseyville IL - Marietta GA
