Millions of Peaches (or Peachtrees)

Saturday, July 21, 2012 - 
I'm alive & well. However, things have taken quite a turn in my life. Let me fill you.

Hubs and I have moved. Well, almost. About one month ago (right around the time of my last post that is), I accepted a job offer with a company based out of Atlanta, GA.

Yes, Atlanta. The South. Millions of streets named Peachtree something.

It is an exciting journey. I'm beyond elated to be part of this great company who is a leader in the hospitality industry. I see so much potential in the company and am stoked to be a part of it. But, with the excitement, also comes some bittersweet feelings.

  1. Having to say 'see you later' to my Indianapolis family
  2. Moving further from my family in Wisconsin
  3. Leaving all the great food and beer scenes of the Indianapolis area
  4. Saying goodbye to a job that I have adored for almost 8 years
  5. Have to locate a new Green Bay Packer bar (NFL network is a MUST now)
  6. Moving and finding a new place after calling Carmel, IN my home (love that Farmer's Market so close to my home!)
I accepted the job, worked Sigma Kappa's convention in The Woodlands (Houston, TX) and then made the drive to Atlanta on Tuesday. I started my new job on Wednesday, and have been searching for a place to live since (anyone have a fantastic house they would like me to rent for a year or so?). Once a house is found, hubs will meander his way down to the South to join this (now, well, probably not) Southern peach.

What does this mean for Entertaining Life Daily? Well, I guess it means it has a new home in ATL. ELD will still function as time permits, especially once hubs and I find a place to live, cook and make our own in this city of new possibilities.

Thank you all for your support, texts, tweets, well wishes, hugs and tears. It is a journey, and one that we could not have done without the love and support of our friends and family. Cheers to our new adventure!

Around the World in 5 Hours

Tuesday, June 5, 2012 - 
After a great cruise, hubs and I made our way back to Orlando for our final days of vacation. Leaving Port Canaveral that morning, we had pretty much all of Friday to spend at Hollywood Studios. It was crazy busy because it was also Star Wars weekend. Some great costumes, that is for sure. We didn't last long - rode a few rides here and there, but we ended up leaving early to get some rest at our hotel, the Marriott World Center.



We ended back at the Boardwalk for some dinner that night only to head back to Hollywood to ride a few more rides before heading home. If you haven't seen the show Fantasmic! in the Studios, I insist you see it soon. Great show!


On Saturday, we took our time getting ready by laying out at the pool and relaxing. We grabbed some lunch at the Polynesian resort and then headed over to Epcot to drink our way around the world with one of my great friends, Stacy, and her friend, Matt.


We had a great time beginning in the United Kingdom, only to end in France for the fireworks.


It was a great vacation, ending with a quick lunch at The Wilderness Lodge before saying goodbye on Sunday. Couldn't have done it without Stacy. I always look forward to seeing her at least once a year. This girl can give a hub, let me tell you. She's so friendly, so giving, so caring. A great, true friend that I met back in 2009. Glad to have her in my life.

Now, we have been back in Indy for a bit. Am I missing The Mouse? Absolutely. After all, this is a place that is magical. Hubs and I got engaged there, and we've returned with friends and by ourselves many times always enjoying every minute. Lots of great memories, and I'm happy to say we had another fantastic vacation once again!

Muah - love you hubs. Thanks for a great 30th birthday vacation!
