Official Florida Resident

It's official - we're full fledged Florida residents now. Thursday, we got our Florida driver's licenses and yesterday, we go our Florida license plates and registered to vote.

Getting the driver's license was a challenge. We heard a tip from the bank manager while creating our new accounts. He said to schedule an appointment online and save the hassle of waiting through the long line. Sounds great - if you have internet access. So we went to the library, became members, and scheduled our appointments. When we arrived, there was no line. We walked up and were told that we need our Social Security cards. Argh! So we went back home and picked them up, then headed back across town. This time, there was a huge line and our appointments were no longer valid. And then the waiting began. Luckily the wait wasn't too bad.

With licenses in hand, we went to see an insurance agent today and insured the Honda. From there, we went to transfer the Honda's title to Florida and pick up new plates. Florida has about 50 variations of plates, but we decided to go simple and get the orange over Florida with the "Sunshine State" text.

Then we raced home to meet the Sears guys. Our washer and dryer were delivered and set up today. We are not lacking much, if anything, at this point.
