busy like a bee

Wait... I think that is "float like a butterfly, sting like a bee." That's probably not it either. But, bees are busy. The thing about being too busy to write on the blog is that I'm not actually that busy. School is out and work is slow. Somehow life is always still busy. May 10th was my award luncheon where they presented the award and graduation ropes. We made it to most of that and then drove straight to the airport.

A Second Honeymoon: We were in Florida for almost a week! Our hotel was 5minutes from the beach and the weather was beautiful. We ate breakfast in a cafe on the beach a couple of days...
I didn't put on a bathing suit once. The hotel did not exactly shout "honeymoon" or "set the mood" either. We spent the entire "vacation" searching out apartments and possible employers. Enough of the complaining. We found an apartment and reserved our place with a move-in date of August 1st. We visited with some of the faculty at Eliza's elementary school and got to find some cool "spots." (spots means a really cool blues bar, Mexican restaurant, and coffee shops) The first few days I was terrified we were making the wrong decision, that perhaps we were going to accidentally move to the West Valley of Melbourne. But, we got some good advice from some of the faculty at FIT and found a beautiful neighborhood and school for Miss Eliza. We have some local fresh produce markets and the mall just around the corner from our new place. The beach and touristy town is just 15 minutes away, not too close and not too far. So, not vacation per se, but we are feeling great about the move.

Home Again: We were so excited to be home and see Eliza again. We missed our first flight. Stupid Delta. Apparently the Orlando airport is so large that they need over 45 minutes to get the bags to the plane. But, we made it home in time to meet Eliza at her soccer game. She ran up to me (Joe was not in sight at the moment) and screamed "Mommeeeee!" I love her.
