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

Monday: 6 HRS. Marietta GA - ORLANDO!!!

***must have cross-country road trip items***

• White-Chocolate covered Granola
• Capri-Suns (preferable 4 different flavors)
• Ipod chargers
• Angel cards

• ATLAS
• gps (a up-to-date version would have been nice for the maps)

orlando is amazing - i am finding my way around just fine - i am starting the job hunt tomorrow - there are a lot of different opportunities here!

places/things i still need to find:

• car wash
• laundry basket
• Big.O.Tires

so yep - things are going well!

i will do my best to keep you all updates - but as i have recently found out, not many people read blogs anymore - understandable - so if you are really interested in stalking me, Facebook & Twitter are great options ;)

love you all, my amazing readers!

i'll send some Orlando sun your way!!! you'll be needing it soon!

my adventure time

what time is it? Adventure Time!!!

i am getting ready to start my new adventure!

i am moving to Orlando Florida!

i will be living in Orlando for at least 6 months, longer if everything works out-

Celeste will be driving out with me on the 6th of October. we have it all planned out where to stop, where to stay and all that planning stuff- i am ready to be in Orlando already!

i have a place to stay all lined up - its furnished, so i dont have to worry about taking too much of my stuff!

i will be having 2 roomates. i get my own room but will be sharing a bathroom- it's a gated community, plenty of parking and in a really safe location.

our place is at an amazing location, we are about:

• 20 min away from disney
• 15 min away from the airport
• 15 min away from my old apt at Chattham
• 20 min away from target
• 1hour 10min from cocoa beach

let the countdown begin!

i am so ready for this adventure!!!!

somebody come play

today is the last day of our catering the Handcart pageant. i really enjoy doing this type of work. its somewhat similar to serving people, but different still, a much faster paced job. i am ready for it to be done, yet sad that it prob wont happen again.

overall i have been a bit bummed out lately. but my buddy Tyler came for a quick visit and we had such a good time! we played almost every night! we went camping, a few late night walmart trips... we really all had a good time. tyler is now in Hawaii.. and i miss him...

i have been thinking about Orlando a lot lately, not just visiting either... moving there. working there. living there. i have applied to WDW and i hope i get accepted.

i have chosen Orlando because its far away from a certain boy whose name starts with a B and ends with an Enjamin. (everytime i go to SLC all i worry about is seeing Benjamin and the girl. SLC is their territory.... my stomach just turns and aches!!!)

i also chose Orlando because i have lived there before, i am fairly certain i can get a job at WDW again, and i am ready to live on my own again, and i know i can make a lot of friends there.

its just too lonley and sad in nephi. there are people here that are my age, but they are all marriend and have kids... and the younger ones are all still in HS... i am almost 25... so its a bit awkward.. i feel like the chaperon.

so thats whats been on my mind lately. i really am not too bummed out, just extra lonley...

Somebody come play!!!
