Possibly Making Changes

The past few days Lee and I have talked about moving. I have actually thought about it over the past year or so, maybe longer. I've just flirted with the idea of starting over in a new place. I LOVE where we live but part of me misses living in a bigger city. Yes, we have most of the restaurants (if not more) of big cities, great shopping, beaches, etc. but some thing is missing. I think it's a bunch of things that make me feel this way. The real estate business isn't doing that great here and I'd love to be in a bigger city to have more opportunities for work. Lee could run his own restaurant and if he wanted to do something different he would have more opportunities as well.

So the way things have been going lately we started talking. I was relieved that he brought it up and not me. I know how much he loves it here. I do too, but things have been changing. Our neighborhood isn't what it was. We've got 10 homes out of 50 that are in Foreclosure and Mackenzie's friends are moving because of it. It's all just so depressing. I want to be somewhere that has opportunities and possibilities.

So next week Eduardo and Lee are sitting down together to see what they can do to get him ready for the GM position. I don't know if anything will come of it but I can always wish.

Our trip to Orlando I think made him want a bigger city. Or perhaps it was the talks with the restaurant managers at Disney World. So we talked about moving to Orlando. I have to say I think it's a great idea. A big city, lots of suburbs to live in, tons of job opportunities, etc. Well it just so happens that his restaurant, Cantina Laredo, is opening a new restaurant in Orlando in August. I told him I'd be all for it if he wants to see if he can get the GM position. He actually asked Eduardo about it (his current GM) and Eduardo said all he needs to do to be GM w/ the company is get some Kitchen Manager experience under his belt. Lee hates the kitchen. He is more of a front of the house person. He does wonderfully with the guests,
