A Day in the Life of a Master(s) of Education

Hey there Blogger World!!! As we approach my all time favorite holiday. ...I felt the need to do an update just in case I don't make it here on VDay itself. In the last couple of weeks since my accident and subsequent post in relation to it a lot has happened. Highlights include Jim's birthday and celebration as well as a promotion (for me)!!! I am now a senior horticulturist in charge of the Edible Garden. Pretty exciting and something I have been working towards. I will miss the Children's Garden though. Bonus is that my new garden is literally just down hill from the kiddie garden so I can always just look up at it for inspiration.  For Jim's birthday we ended up going down to Orlando/Tampa. We had a pretty epic time which included a couple of brewery tours, clubbing, Disney and a lazy river. I must say that I'm proud of Borsella....he kept up with Jim and I. We definitely didn't make it easy on him either..... Four parks in one day!!!!!  Enjoy the...

So....its already the 4th day of the month and still no post? Well that's not the way to start 2013 now is it. I spent NYE in Orlando as per usual but this time instead of a house party. I must admit it was pretty fun and I even got a kiss at midnight. I try not to make resolutions and this year is really no different but I have reverted to some old habits.....and by that I mean Facebook. Its been two years since my last time and though it's a bit intense to be back I am glad to see what has been happening in people's lives. Hopefully it won't bite me in the ass. So heres to 2013!! A year of promise.....until next post laters.

Amanda: Hey, there is a 4k in Atlanta that involves beer stations and drinking......you in? Moe: When? Amanda: November 16. Moe: I'll be in VA. Amanda: There's one in Orlando on December 15. Moe: I'm in....and so is Jim. And thus here we are Blogger World. I am not sure who came up with this idea of a fun run with beer in addition to water but they deserve a medal themselves. Jim left Amanda and I to actually run....he didn't get the memo to not take this "run" too seriously. Anyways after he left us...Amanda and I took every opportunity to take pics, wave at people in cars, have fun and of course chug beer at all 4 Chug Stations :-). It took us 50mins to run a little over 2 miles but we only actually ran whenever we could see a beer chug station. Check out the photos including our finishers medal (which is actually a bottle opener...score!!) and if it comes to your city....DO IT!!!!!! We liked it so much...we may even do it again in my hometow...

So as you know blogger world, I have been traveling to Orlando a lot recently. Usually when I head down there it's mostly Disney business mixed with Orlando pleasure. My former roommate Amanda had the same realization about Orlando I had about Atlanta....if you are going to make this new city your home, explore it and give it a fair chance. So she made an "Orlando Bucket List" and you guys know how I love bucket list. I've got about 4 going right now! Anyhow she shared one thing on her list with me this past weekend and in doing so made me realize I never really gave Otown a fighting chance. As far as I was concerned if it wasn't Disney or DC it wasn't worth it. I say all of this to say....Orlando is not that bad. It's still a tourist trap and it's still a city lacking a definitive identity outside of the theme parks but it's trying to be more. Since Orlando is trying so will I....even though I no longer live there. For Amanda and myself I ...
