As a Disney fan, there's one thing that most of us want more than anything. A chance to be closer to the World. We talk about moving down there, dream about moving down there...but what actually happens with that dream becomes a little closer to reality?
Brian and I have been toying with the idea of moving to Florida ever since we got married. We'd talk about how great it would be living in the Sunshine State. Away from terrible, cold winters. Close to WDW we could go for the weekend, without having to hop a plane, living in a place with palm trees. We'd say we wanted to do it before we had kids.
So, Brian would apply for jobs in Florida...but little would happen, as one would expect...we even went around to the different hotels this past January, while we were there, but no avail. Therefore, it's always been a dream.
However, about six months ago...that dream changed a bit...to allow for it to become more of a closer reality. Because Brian let his work know that he really did want to move. And his boss said he'd try and help him in his quest. I didn't take this to mean much. But his boss wasn't joking. He got in touch with his boss who owns quite a few properties in Florida.
Brian told me that his boss's boss was on the lookout for a potential job for him. Ok, I thought...well, that's great, but I doubt this will amount to anything. When do things like that ever amount to anything?
Then about a month ago, Brian told me his boss' boss wanted to do some restructuring at his hotels and that the move may actually happen. This got me a little more anxious. It seemed like a little bit more of a reality. But alas, the real world snuck in and his boss, we would find out, would be transferring to another hotel in the near future. So, knowing that, we figured that the idea of Florida was back on the back burner.
Apparently, it may not be. As we got word today that there's a very real chance, by the end of the year, that Brian may have a real job in Florida. Our dream is very quickly becoming a reality.
And I'd like to take you with me on this journey. Because what happens when the move to Florida is something that more than likely is going to happen? What happens when you actually get to live out what you've been dreaming about for so long? It's never as great as you picture it being, for sure.
The one thing I do know though, It's going to be one scary adventure....that I know 100%.
