It's my dad's birthday!

Oh happy day! It's May 28th, 2009 and my dad is now 57 years of age as of now. I can't believe how fast the days are FLYING by.

Anyway. Things are going well here in Florida. The last month has just been me working my tail end off and it's just ridiculous because I never get to see Chris due to our extremely opposite work schedules. It seems to be the permanent fix; I work mornings and he works evenings. We got to spend some time together last week, we flew to Detroit to visit my friends and family back home. He was nervous as one would be, meeting a ton of new people, especially my parents. My mom LOVED him. She absolutely adored him. I knew she'd like him so it's no big surprise to me. It was such a relief on both ends though, especially mine because everything just went so well the whole weekend. He seemed comfortable around my family and they seemed to feel the same way around him. All in all, it was awesome in that respect. It was also awesome to see my friends again, who I missed soo bad. It was really hard to think about leaving them behind, knowing there are some people I could never see again or not see for a very, very long time. What makes it so hard is that in Florida I don't really have any real friends yet...I did but a lot of them have already gone back home or we drifted away. I have my co-workers and they are great but it's not the same as having a big group of people that you can hang out with for hours and hours and just live the best nights of your life over again. Even when I do make friends here it won't be the same...we can't reminisce about the ''good ol days'' like I can with my friends at home. I know I have to get over it ...thats life...it happens...but overall it was wonderful being at home, being at a place I know so well and love. Such a change from being here, where everything is still so new and unfamiliar and the only things I can think of when I'm here is about work.

The best part about us going up there was retrieving my car and also a ton of items that I left at home when I moved here. We made excellent time getting back to Orlando from Detroit, I was very pleased with myself! and we didn't get lost AT ALL!! So now that i have my car here, my life is much easier I think. I can come and go as I please, I can run errands and not worry about how its going to take an hour and a half to get four items from Walgreens. I've been able to do the things i need to do.

Speaking of which, me and Chris have spoken more seriously about living together after we finish the college program. Even more recently, we've decided that we are going to go ahead and move in together, and even more recently than that we've decided that we aren't going to wait until August 14th to do it. We started looking the last couple of weeks online at apartments and we visited a couple different ones this week but it seems like everything is so far from work, or in a shitty neighborhood, or too expensive, etc. However we found one that we like and today after work i went up there to take a tour of the apartment and it was amazing! i liked it alot! so I think it's the one that we are going to go for. we just need to do a few things in order to lease it and thats it. we also recently started looking at furniture...ahh, so many expenses!!!! it's making me super nervous knowing that in the next six weeks i'm going to have to worry about my car payment, rent & utilities, groceries, gas money, furniture, etc etc....i only make 7.65 an hour!!!! i'm sure one day, when I'm making a good living, I'll look back on these days and wish I had it so easy again but really, BRING ME THE MONEY NAO! One day at a time I suppose. Anyway, I can't wait to live with Chris...I can't even imagine how great its going to be coming home late and night and curling up in bed with him...I'm so in love with this guy, more than I've ever been with anyone else and there's nothing I want more than to spend every night in his arms. We barely get to see each other often due to work schedules but at least those eight hours every night together would be the best eight hours of my every day.

Well other than that nothing is really new here...same ol same ol!!! i wish something would happen...it's soo dull here. ugh. ohh well it's been raining alot...other than that...thats it!!! Have a fabulous day and thanks for reading.

We're nowhere, and it's now

Well, today is the first of May. An exciting time of year back home because that means warm weather, spring time, flowers, birds, people start uncovering their pools, we see days where it reaches 77 degrees and you'd think people of Michigan have never seen a hot day before because people start turning on their sprinklers and running through them like they are five again. I love, love, love a Michigan May. This year, however, I will not be celebratiing my Cinco De Mayo in the Great Lakes State, I am in Florida, as I have been...and don't get me wrong, I love the hot weather. I love when it's steaming hot outside and I walk into an ice cold air conditioned building; the second the air hits my face I feel like this is where I belong. Love it. But I do miss the way the earth looks when spring emerges after a long, dreadful, cold, icy, bleak winter. it's like everything becomes alive..it reminds me of the scene in Plesantville when the world is slowly becoming full of color..you see the first flower turn red and it's the same way when winter finally makes it's escape for the season and spring comes and the flowers pop out overnight and the trees suddenly are born again with fresh leaves. It's absolutely stunning and I almost feel sorry for those who have lived down south for their whole lives and never experienced such beauty.


I officially extended my employment with Disney until August. For now that is all I know. I know that if I absolutely needed to, there is a possibility of staying until January but I don't want to. I will be still working at the Contemporary Resort which is good, i was slightly worried that i would be moved elsewhere. More importantly Chris (the boyfriend) was able to extend his employment as well. There were some major battles with his extension, but everything worked out in the end like I knew it would which only makes me more sure that we were meant to be together. sounds cheesy, I know, i know.

well basically that's all i have to say. my life is unfortunately not that exciting. haha. well, it's not boring either, but just no new updates for you. hopefully after michigan i'll have something to write about ...ta!
