More pics and updates

Make sure to check out the post below for some boat pictures.

Here are a few more photos of our last month. We had a super fun visit from Ace and Greg and went to Adventure Islands with some very neon shirts. We finally got a new couch and it may be the best couch ever lounged on by a man! Vegas is loving Florida living and all of the windows in the house, but she especially loves to wear Jonathan's coolie cup as a hat. The beach is continuing to be awesome, we've been having fun body boarding/surfing...are starting to take night walks hoping to see some of the sea turtles that nest all over this stretch of coast.

Happy belated bdays to Cristina, Elisa and Hinkle! Aaaand Happy Birthday to Kaytay!!

Lots of love,
M&R

Boat pic post

Hi there, If you haven't already heard, we bought a boat! It's an awesome 1984 Sylvan 18ft with seating for 6. Ryan's especially excited about the 120HP engine. Here are a few pics, have only had it out in the water for the test drive, but looking forward to taking it out this weekend.

Our number 1 name now is...Sea Y'all, but we're still accepting suggestions.

Spring-sproing!

Phew, it's been a long time.
Posting a few pics from our latest home improvements. We laid a patio in our backyard and with a nice housewarming patio set from the McGuires, things are looking pretty damn good. Greg and Adrienne came down for a fun visit and we spent lots of time lounging around the patio, building outdoor showers and going to Islands of Adventure, pics to follow.
The job search continues. Ryan has got some pretty good leads this week and is hoping that they will all offer him jobs on the same day so he can pick n' choose, we'll see.
Non-profit jobs are a bit scarce down here, but I've managed to find a couple to apply to. Other than that, just been checking out the sights around here. Weather has been unbelievably nice and breezy during the day with cool nights. We haven't even had to run the AC...pretty sure that won't last.

Hey there,

We finally moved all our stuff out of mini storage! Woo! So, we already paid the rent there, and its empty until april 20 if you need a place to stay or have band practice.

Some recent photo highlights:

Meghan got a big pot stuck on her head while decorating.
We ride bikes a lot.
We see sunny things and bodies of water frequently a lot and sometimes swim or surf in them.

I officially finished the resume today, and I am going to start sending them out tomorrow. Mega is almost done too. There seem to be a lot of tech openings, so hopefully I can nab something. Also there is a job fair next wednesday. Jobs are great and everything, and help pay bills off when you owe money to people for things.

Sometimes people write songs about jobs, like 'workin for a livin' and 'takin care of business'. Thats what mega and I are going to do soon.

Also, (not pictured) we went to a bar on saturday night and a whole wedding party showed up at about 10pm, which was wierd. Wierder, the bride was still in the wedding gown, stomping around in the rainy patio. I guess they had no music at their place. People heckled them. Feaux passe!

p.s. Go memphis slashing tigers

picture post I

here are a few pics from the last week. we had a busy couple days painting the living/dining room, but it turned out nicely and we've been enjoying some tasty Publix brand dinners. Ryan's shirt did not turn out quite as well. Australia ate some holes in it.

South Beach Livin'

We did it! We now have a rental residence in Florida --- whoooooo!! It's an older two bedroom bungalow style duplex about 1 block to the beach in Indialantic! That's just up the road from Melbourne Beach. Some painting is up on the agenda, but after that we'll be ready for visitors.
Just so you know, yes, Greg and Ace have taken the lead and are already ticket holders for an April visit...act now if you want to beat them!! Happy Spring, y'all!

Contiguous!

woo hoo!! we made it back. feels kinda wierd.

Hawaii already feels far away again, and florida already feels closer. In fact, we are physically in florida. Real life beckons! Oh no!

So far we did a bunch of florida stuff. After burning off the jetlag and conquering laundry mountain, the next thing was to get legal. After several trips to the dmv, I can finally drive again! No more meghan chauffering around and calling me senile. Well actually she still calls me senile.

And, thanks to Dale we have some wheels to peel out with. The toyota needed a bit of work to get it into interstate shape, but lookit those new manatee county plates! And those myakka city addresses! We are total rednecks already. The sanchez is still sitting in the yard, we might come back for it in a week or so. Meghan waxed it real good but the NY plates are expired.

We visited with all my 4 parents and are now headed up to g'ville for some easter-egging with meghans 2 parents. We are hoping to have a place in melbourne area by the end of next week, we are going house hunting around wednesday. A home! Whoa dammit I am excited. Hoppy easter.
