Moving to Florida, Part 8: The Conclusion (Or Is It?)
We're all moved in! I know it's been a bit since I last had a proper update, but we currently don't have internet at our place. So we've been relegated to data on our phones, WIFI at McDonald's, and the business center at our complex (which is only open when the office is, which is annoying, but what can you do).
The apartment is still a little bit of a wreck, but we're getting there. I might post pictures later, but it'll likely have to wait until I have the opportunity to go somewhere with WIFI (I'm at the business center right now). It's bigger than we thought it would be, but still not as big as our old place, which is just fine. We never used our dining room anyway. It's a nice little place, and we really like it. We're probably going to stay here until we decide to either A) move out of Kissimmee, B) buy a house, or C) get pregnant. Whichever comes first.
We've used two of my remaining guest passes (once for MK/DHS just to get out of the apartment, and once for MK for his birthday) and are saving the third one for next week. We still haven't decided which park we're going to, but we can figure that out later. I have some pictures, but I can't post them right now. We also met @elphie101 and her husband while they were at MK! When we were at MK for his birthday, we did a heck of a lot of stuff, more than we thought we'd have time to do. We also got caught in a massive rainstorm that day. We've spent a few days wandering around the resorts, which has been fun.
So, the news... Matt had his in-person interview with Disney on Tuesday, and thankfully I was off work, since he was too nervous to drive himself there (and he probably would've gotten lost). Well, he had no reason to be nervous, because he got the job! He has Traditions on September 8 and starts immediately after that. He got hired for monorails. It's PT for right now, but they did offer him FT. He just couldn't take it because the start date for that was a full three weeks after the start date for PT, which we couldn't afford to wait for. So, yay!
Next week, we have a site visit scheduled with DFTW to take a look at some of the venues we're curious about. We know what two of them are and are trying to figure out a third one we might want to go see. Our anniversary is next Wednesday and we were going to go to MK for the day (I even managed to get a reservation for Be Our Guest), but we just don't have the money and won't until Thursday. So we're doing something on Thursday, either before or after the site visit.
And that's pretty much all that's going on right now. Hopefully we'll be able to get the internet installed in a couple of weeks, but we'll see how that goes.

He just got a haircut today to be within Disney look, so that's kind of funny (he had them shave off his sideburns, so now his beard isn't connecting to anything and it's just amusing me).
I hope you're able to come back soon! It looked like you guys had a great trip 
Like I told PIO, I unfortunately don't have many pics. I completely forgot to take any on the site visit. So I just have pictures of our park days and when we went mini golfing today.
