Three months... has gone SO fast!!!

Today marks my three month anniversary of moving to Florida. I'd like to start by apologizing for my lack of blogging. I have been experiencing all sorts of fun Florida things and have not updated the masses via this blog (I know there are masses... just go with it).



I've lived in three different locations, visited Disney World numerous times (I have a Florida Residence Annual Pass), saw gators at Gatorland, and  went the beach. Found a job, made friends, even found a roommate. I can make it to a handful of places without the GPS, and even was able to give a guy directions in a Starbucks parking lot one day. Plus, I survived my first hurricane scare (ok, so Irene blew right by us **pun intended** Fine, I won't count that!).


The truth is, I feel like I have been here all along. It really amazes me how comfortable I am here. Sometimes, I forget that I've moved at all. I will look out the window and realize there are palm trees out there. That's right, I'm in Florida... that's new... Just today, I was walking through Hollywood Studios and glanced at a spot that I had taken a picture at on a previous trip. I remembered standing there and thinking I don't want to go back to Illinois, can I just stay? At that time, I said I wanted to move, but I didn't know I was actually going to do it! Don't get me wrong, there have been some bumps in the road, a couple of not so ideal situations. But overall, I am very happy with my decision to move. It has been just what I needed.


The big project now is getting settled into my permanent place. Officially unpacking and getting some furniture. I can not longer fit all of my things into my car and I have a lease for a year, so this Florida thing is happening for at least that long at this point. I'm sure it is just going to fly by anyways. Three months... has gone SO fast!!!
