The move from Orlando to Madison

Well! I've now been in WI for 18 days and LOVING IT! I start work tomorrow (7/12) so these past couple of weeks, I've been staying in Milwaukee and basically going out every night. Had to get it out of my system and I did! 

Brittany and Bill's wedding on June 25th was AWESOME! They've been dating for 9 years so it was about time! It was also great seeing everyone again from middle school and high school. Being back home brings a sense of familiarity and it's comforting. I missed the hospitality that the Midwest people always bring so it's simply great to be back. 

My brother (Bill) and I moved into a townhouse last week in Madison, WI. It's about 10 minutes from the car dealership that Bill is the General Manager at. I'll start working there tomorrow as the Internet Manager and once I learn the product, I'll get into Sales. I'm looking forward to learning something new and a new quest. I LOVED the resort I was working for the last 3 years but boy did it take a toll on me. I've learned SO much from there and had THE BEST team to develop me and it was unforgettable.

I'll return in a week or so to give an update on the new job!!

3 weeks before I have to say goodbye to Orlando:/

Leaving is always the hardest.

My last day at RPR is the week of June 15th.

My going away party is June 20th.

I fly out to Milwaukee, WI on June 24th...

and I don't come back :(

My room yesterday:

My room today:

My current (most comfortable location):

I still have tons of clothes that I have to ship to WI since not even half of my clothes will fit in 5 suitcases. I'm absolutely drained after moving all my stuff back to mom's house in Tampa but THANKS to my friend, Nick, we got it ALL done. I wish I could go out to watch Game 2 but I'm just exhausted. SO I'm currently watching 30 rock and waiting for the game to start in an hour or so. 

I'll update more as my departure gets closer.

My 3 year anniversary at RPR:

I'm so sad to leave RPR - I have the best memories from here. My first hotel and management experience. 

Liberia, Costa Rica - Day 7 - ADIOS COSTA RICA!

Karen woke up early, around 6:30am, because she was paranoid about missing her bus to Nicaragua. Since we both woke up early, we got ready and walked around the beach area one last time before our taxi came at 9am to take me to the airport then Karen to her bus stop.

So long most amazing cheap place to stay :)

OMG - I'm so gross and so tired 

Karen was collecting seashells for her kids back in Nicaragua

I'm going to miss you playa del coco

My "sexy" stance

Karen's "sexy" stance.... 

Take 2 is even funnier

There we go...I think, haha

We are ridiculous

This is one of my ugliest faces and I'm happy to share it w/ the world 

LAUGH W/ NO TEETH! 

Squeezing a short nap in before our taxi arrives

We're sad we're leaving...

So long...at least until June for Brit and Bill's wedding!

I started and finished Nicholas Sparks's "Safe Haven" and was totally hooked so time actually went by quickly  

The non A/C airport...  

So hot 

This was a great spot for people watching

We board outside.
On the plane, I kept having to bend down to get into my backpack and I just knew my butt crack was showing...ah well.
I also would trail off and day dream that my plane would land in another country instead of Orlando and I'd get to keep traveling and traveling and traveling.....

This was my 7 days in Costa Rica w/ my best friend. I couldn't have imagined the hilarious memories we made and I'm so thankful for such a friend like Karen.
Having 1 best friend is ABSOLUTELY VITAL for life!
