So allow me to briefly update you on the last month. (There's a reason why I haven't updated) We spent about 4 weeks in Gainesville, in which time: business was EXTREMELY slow, I got attacked by BED BUGS, and we moved hotel rooms 3 times in 36 hours. We had been praying fervently for our situation to improve, and we thought our prayers had been answered: Taylor's manager came into our room one night and asked us if we'd be willing to pack up first thing in the morning and transfer down to Lakeland. They were short on technicians and business was booming. So we eagerly packed and took the 2 hour ride. We were shown to our BEAUTIFUL luxury apartment and I hastily unpacked and revelled in our bug-free home (complete with washer/dryer, patio, and breakfast nook). Taylor even had a job the very first night we were there! Hallelujiah! Sounds great, right? Ready for the curveball? The next day we get a phone call from the manager in Lakeland. It basically goes like this: "We aren't feeling like you're exactly 'Vivint' material. We're going to let you go."
And just like that we were jobless, homeless, and basically hopeless.
After a lot of crying (on my part) and a lot of praying (heaven bless my husband for keeping his cool) we called our parents for some sage advice. Long story, short: we are now residing in the upper room of Motel Smith. Taylor's parents have been so good to us in our time of need and I could not be more grateful to them. They have not only extended to us their home and their kitchen, but their love and support in this mess of a situation.
On the bright side, things are looking up! Both Taylor and I were hired to work in DISNEY WORLD!! We're working for a third-party company called Colorvision who runs Amazing Pictures. The VP of the company actually interviewed us personally and basically told us that if we work hard and pay our dues, she'll see us in management in the very near future. Sounds good to me! So now we're looking for apartments in Orlando and enjoying Florida the best we can. We went to Cocoa Beach this weekend and got some sun!
I am seriously in love with this neon orange nail polish. :)
So, to sum it all up: bed bugs=bad, disney jobs=good, orange polish=awesome.
