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.

Titanic The Experience 6/29/10

I went to Titanic The Experience on the 29th with my friend Andrew. We're both Titanic buffs so it was great to there together. Here are some pictures from our visit.

Time to Catch Up

Wow I can't believe that it's been over a month since I've posted anything on my blog. I'm sorry everyone but there's been a lot going on. For everyone that is on Facebook you probably know most of what has happened. I'm going to just go through the basics of what has happened. First off, I am no longer working for Disney. I hurt my back when I was doing housekeeping and I unfortunately missed too many days of work. The college program is pretty strict on their attendance and so I was let go. I wasn't sad because I figured it was just time to move on to the next chapter of my life. Now I can reapply to be a cast member with Disney in 6 months and I might be a seasonal cast member just to keep the perks but I don't see myself working for Disney full time.

Now since I am no longer working for Disney that also means that I am no longer living in Disney housing. I moved out of my Disney apartment and I've been staying with my cousin and his family in Palmetto which is near St. Petersburg. I'm very lucky to have them and I'm garteful for all the help that they have given me. Luckily I was able to get another job, I am now working for Wyndham Vacation Ownership in their call center. I am doing Inbound Transfer Sales which basically means that when people are transfered to me I'm trying to selling them a vacation package which involves them going on a timeshare presentation. It's a good job and I'm happy to have a job but I'm looking for a job at an apartment community since that's what I did back in Charlotte.

Another bit of good news is this weekend I will be moving into my new apartment. I got a one bedroom apartment in Orlando near my school and I'm excited to move in. My cousin and his family are going to help me move and my parents plan on bringing my stuff from Charlotte next week. I'm just excited to start this next chapter of my life.

New Smyrna Beach 5/26/10

Hi Everyone!

So I've been down here for four months and I finally made it to the beach! I had the day off and me and some friends decided to go to the beach. We decided to check out New Smyrna Beach which is on the ocean side of Florida. I've heard good things about it and I'm happy to say that we had a great time and we all want to go back. I thought I would share some of the pictures with everyone. :-)

Exploring Orlando on 5/10/10

So on one of my days off I was driving around with my roommate and decided to take her to the most unique McDonald's which is really cool. It's 2 levels and has an arcade and they have normal McDonald's food plus stuff you wouldn't expect like pasta and carrot cake. It's defintely something you would only see in a tourist area. We also decided to go to Old Town in Kissimmee later that day with some other roommates. I love Old Town and remember going there when I was younger so it was nice to show my roommates this place. While we were at Old Town we decided to do this ride called the Sling Shot which is exactly what it is called, you and someone else are in this seat/chair thing and you are shot up in the air just like a sling shot. It was crazy and scary and fun. It was a great day and I thought I'd share some pictures with you. :-)
