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

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!!!!
