Time To Say Goodbye

So I am no longer "A Carolina Girl in Florida." I've been back in Charlotte for a little over a week and it's interesting to be back. Everything looks so different than when I left but it's not like anything has changed. The city is still the same really but maybe it's me that's changed. I don't believe that I am the same person I was when I left Charlotte in January and it's even hard to believe that I've been gone that long. It's been a wonderful journey and there's some times that I think back and it seems like the past 7 months of my life was too good to be true but I know it's not. It was one of the best times in my life and if I could change one thing it would that it hadn't ended. I guess all good things have to come to an end though. I'm so grateful to everyone that has taken this journey with me and I'm happy that I walked away with great memories, life lessons, and wonderful friendships. Thank you to everyone. Now it's on to the next chapter of my life and I can't wait to see what that chapter is. :-)

Cocoa Beach 8/17/10

My last real day living in Orlando I decided to go to the beach. So I went to Cocoa Beach with two of my friends, Kelley and Kala. The beach was great and we even had a chance to go to the Ron Jon Surf Shop while we were there! It was fun and here are some pictures.

Universal 8/13/10

I had a chance to go to Universal before I left Florida and I had a blast with two of my friends, Kala and Preston. It was great to see Universal again and especially see The Wizarding World of Harry Potter that everyone has been talking about. Here are some pictures of that day!

Last Disney Trip 8/12/10

Just wanted to post some pictures of my last trip to Disney. I went park hopping with my friends and we went to Magic Kingdom, Epcot, and Hollywood Studios all in one day. It was a fun and tiring day that I'll never forget.

Just an update

Greetings from Florida,

Hello everyone, I just wanted to write a note about what's going on in my life right now. Last week I was let go from my job at the apartment community. I was a little disapointed about losing my job and decided to sit down and serriously think about what to do next. I looked at my finances and my life and my situation and I decided that even though I really love living in Florida it was time to take a step back and move back home to North Carolina. I've decided that I need to focus on school and get at least a 2 year degree in something and focus on having a career.

At first I was sad about the idea of leaving Florida but I've decided that it is a good thing. I'm looking forward to having some of the comforts of home back like my friends and family. I think that this is going to be a good step for me. It's going to be a good thing in going home and I'm positive that things will turn out good.

New Pics of the Apartment 7/21/10

I took some pictures of the apartment since I have all my furniture. I still a few little decorating things but it definitely feels like home now. I hope you like it:

Update 7/17/10

Hi everyone, just wanted to give you all an update to how everything is going here in Orlando. Last weekend my parents came down with all of my stuff from North Carolina and my cat, Belle. It was great to have them here and they really helped me get everything set up in my apartment. I really feel lucky to have my parents. My apartment looks completely different than it did before they got here. I had my couches delived last week while my parents were here and I've gotten a couple of other things and now I've just got to do the little decorating things to finish the apartment out but that will come after time. I'll take picture some time this week so everyone can see the progress of my apartment.

On another great note, I have a new job. This past Tuesday I started working at an apartment community as a leasing consultant. The community I work at is in Winter Park, FL which is about 20 mins from my apartment. It's a nice little community and the staff has been there for years so I'm happy to be working with them. I'm also happy to be a leasing consultant again so it's great to be doing something I enjoy again.

So between my new apartment and my new job, I'm doing good. I'm looking forward to see what's coming next in my life. :-)

New Apartment 7/3/10

So I moved into my new apartment this weekend and I'm all unpacked. I have a one bedroom apartment which does mean that I'm living on my own. It's a great experience and I've never lived without a roommate or parents or anyone before so this should be interesting. It's a good apartment, nice size kitchen, washer and dryer, fireplace (I don't know why I need a fireplace in Orlando but ok), and a screened in balcony. My parents are coming down later this week with my stuff from North Carolina and most importantly my cat, Belle. I'm excited to see my parents and have my stuff and of course Belle. Here are some pics of the apartment I've taken this weekend. There will be more once I get the rest of my things.
