When it Rains, It Pours!!

Hi All,
I know it's been a couple months since our last post but things have gotten really busy for the both of us. We have settled in nicely to our new Florida lifestyle. Thankfully, the weather has been beautiful to help us adjust. Unlike New England the weather here is pretty much predictable (hot!!) except when it rains. Then you can expect a five to ten minute monsoon-like down pour until the sun comes back out. Luckily, this has only occured while we have been inside and as soon as we are ready to go out it stops like magic!

I have started my job as a substitute and I have to say it's hard not being in charge. The people are really friendly and very laid back (sometimes a bit too laid back for my liking). Al is doing great in school! He really loves what he is doing and can't wait to star his new career. On the weekends we try and explore the city together and we have found some great things to do in Orlando. Our favorite so far is to go to the discount movie theater. They play all the  movies just out of the regular theaters and we only pay $1.00 a ticket. Even the snacks are at a discount price! The library offers a large selection of DVDs and you can pretty much find any movie you are looking for.

After a lovely visit to Kenny's house in Miami we have definitely decided that we need to live near the beach. Last weekend, Al and I went down to the Ft. Lauderdale area to look around at the towns and see which one might look like a good place to live. I already have a job lined up in Plantation so our next step is finding Al a job. We figure we will rent for 6-12 months until we get really acquainted with the area and then if all goes well buy a home. We will be leaving Orlando at the end of June and hopefully by mid-June we will have all our "ducks in a row".

We have definitely missed our families and friends these past couple months but being able to keep in touch via Facebook, Skype and email has helped us adjust. We love talking and keeping in touch with everyone so please feel free to Facebook, email or Skype us.  

Until next time,
Becky & Al
