December 4th - a significant date, the beach and news from Ryan

December 3rd, 2013 - Today, we had to go to get our Florida Drivers Licenses, get license plates for Tilly (Car) and Lily (motorhome) and get them registered so we can become official Floridians.  We had gathered all the paperwork we needed but couldn't find the title for Lily.  We had it when we started out on this journey but somewhere along the road it has got misplaced.  I know, how do you lose something in a 38 foot motorhome, ugh!!!
We managed to get our drivers licenses and a temporary registration for Lily which gives us 30 days to get a duplicate title from Nevada.  So, we are now officially "Floridians".

December 4th, 2013 - December 4th seems to be a significant date for us:  26 years ago today we first met, I still remember as though it was yesterday. 20 years ago today we arrived in Las Vegas after our journey west across the States and this December 4th we are spending our first day as residents of Florida after our journey east across the States.  Here's to many more December 4th's. 
We got the paperwork completed for the duplicate title, notarized and mailed overnight to Nevada.  They told us if we overnighted it and included a self addressed overnight envelope we could get it back in 7 to 10 business days, so fingers crossed.
We got some heavy rain today but not until late afternoon by which time we were safely back home.

December 6th - When Bryan sat outside early this morning he was joined by this squirrel, who seemed to pose for him.  


 

  

We really like it here, within steps to the beach and CoCo is enjoying walking on the sand as well.  There is usually no one on the beach when we are there or maybe just one or two others, pure bliss. Today we decided to walk along the beach to the lighthouse.

We had an awesome day and later Ryan told us that he was going to take a big step tomorrow and propose to his girlfriend Christina at the McCluskey Christmas Party.  We are excited and nervous for him all at the same time.  Hopefully I will have good news for the blog tomorrow.

Take Care everyone,  goodnight
