Hello from Orlando!
Well we made it! I figured this would be an easy way for everyone (who actually wants to) to know what we are up to here in Florida! I am new to this whole "blogging" thing so bare with me. I am not a creative writer so this is simply going to be a place for us to post what's going on with us and to help us keep in touch with all of you!
Our drive to Orlando wasn't too bad! We stopped halfway in Birmingham, AL where a lot of my family lives. We stayed with my Aunt Myra and Uncle Larry at their beautiful new house! And we also got to see my Aunt Linda, Uncle David, cousins Billy, Lisa, Cory, Courtney, and Kim! It was so great to get to see them! Kyle quickly became a fan of Milo's sweet tea and we stopped to get 3 gallons of it because he is now afraid he can't get it in FL. The second leg of our journey Kyle drove the entire way and I did not mind at all! We got to Orlando around 7 PM and were able to sleep in our place that night! We made a pallet on the floor and called it a night! The movers were here at 8 AM on thursday and took about 6 hours moving all our stuff into our place. We have been unpacking boxes ever since. It is starting to look like a home and until it looks decent enough to post pictures I will!
We went on Friday to get our FL drivers licenses...and they kept our OK ones. It was a little emotional but at least we are legal residences now! And I learned that my birth certificate no longer proves who I am, apparently I have to also have my marriage license to prove "lineage." So after waiting 2 1/2 hours I had to run back home to get our marriage license and bring it back by 4 or else I would have to go back and do it all over again. But we have our FL licenses so at least when we get carded they won't assume we are just tourists!
Kyle starts his first day of work on Monday and he is very excited! He has to drive to Tampa to meet with his boss and do some paperwork.
Thank you to everyone for being so supportive and encouraging as we embark on this journey! We are really excited to see what God has in store in the next couple of years! We appreciate all the prayers and good thoughts sent our way. We definitely need them! Hope everyone has a great week!
Love,
Angela, Kyle, and AW

ReplyDeleteSend Dubbers back! Glad you guys made it! This will be great for us to stalk you!
ReplyDeletewhile i think this blog is quite possibly the greatest idea a payne has ever had i really feel like yall should really take it to the next level by installing a few web cams so we can see in real time how well you are doing. (nothing too major just perhaps 3 or 4 web cams in high traffic areas) It is one thing to read about everything going well and quite another to be able to see it live. if this idea was to take off i already have many t-shirt and bumper sticker ideas for Payne's World
