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!!!
