The Future ...

In between drowning in my work trying to complete the stupidest RFP alive I've found time as I always do to surf the web. Everyday I check out new jobs on my dream companys website. Its a publication company based out of Winter Park, Florida and they put together and publish many of my favorite magazines. Two that I'd love to be apart of are Destination Weddings and Islands Magazine. Lately there have been a few jobs that just reading the "description" has me dreaming of working there. I like my job now, its close to home, the people I work with are nice, its a little bit of money in my pocket, but its boring and there is NOTHING creative about it. I know I'd be great at a Publishing company, and I know I have a great eye for photographs and layouts and everything "magazine". I've looked everywhere in Atlanta and there are a few smaller publishing companies downtown (but none that I would actually make the commute for). If I ever get an interview in Florida I know I could impress, but alas my resume is just a piece of paper and no where near as impressive as I am in person :) haha But I'm sure they see a Georgia address and toss me to the curb.
I've also only heard good things about the town : Winter Park. How it's a cute upscale lake town in the Orlando suberbs with a really neat downtown as pictured. Some place I could def. see myself living and raising a family or at least a puppy. Of course moving to Florida is for now only a distant dream. Phil always says if the timing is right we'll move to Florida one day, but until that ever happens I don't know if I truly believe it. I miss my parents and warm winters, but I know he'll miss a lot about GA if we move too, which makes it hard. All of his friends and family are here ... along with his beloved UGA bulldogs. For now I know the reality of the matter, we have a better life for our money here in GA, so unless I get offered some outrageous salary for my dream job in Florida we're camped out here for a little while longer and my dream of a Florida house with a yard and maybe a pool, a cool Publishing job, a puppy, an orange kitten, and my family in driving distance will have to wait ...
