Good Morning from Ocala

Crazy Car Conversations on a Long Drive

Ocala Life is Slower Than We Are Used To...

No offense Ocala, but I can see why some call you Slocala. There really isn't a ton to do here. While you have beautiful horse farms and lots of acreage, there really isn't much to do besides going out to eat, seeing a movie, swimming... 

Keith and I have been trying to stay busy these last few days while getting a lot of errands checked off our list. Get trailer registered, check. Get car registered, almost checked. Oil change, check. Car inspected, check. Get hair done, check. Spend time with Mom, check. Get out of the house and move, check. Watching a puppy, check.

We still have several items on the list not completed and we are hoping to get a few more checked off today before we head to Ft.Myers to see friends.

I have been an avid Groupon user these last few days trying to find a few fun things for us to do next week and not spend much money. Right now we have a winery visit, golfing and massage scheduled. 

Yesterday, we went to the RV show here in Ocala that runs through the weekend. Being that we went during the week and on the first day it was just $5. For 3 hours we looked at tons of RV's trying to see if we could finding something that would work better for our little family since our current RV is a wee bit too small for all of us. We are actually thinking of leaving the dogs in Ocala for the 2 month journey so they won't be uncomfortable/we won't be uncomfortable. I made a video... of course.

So yeah, Ocala is a bit more on the slow pace side and more errand driven but only a few more days till we hit the road again and head to Myrtle Beach. Adventure awaits!!

We Made it to Ocala

We spent a total of 5 nights in the trailer and figured out real fast that 1. it’s too small for the 4 of us, 2. it needs more counter space, and 3. the shower is too small. We are already talking about upgrading... 

First off, after we left Nashville, we headed to Destin to see daughter Tristian. She was there for a modeling shoot camp. We were able to see her each day, which was really nice. We even got to have dinner at the house and meet some of her friends and the organizer of IBMS. It was nice to see what it is she loves doing.

After visiting with her, we packed up and drove to Ocala to my mothers home. We have been there getting our affairs in order (tags for the car and trailer, setting up a few appointments and hoping to attend an RV show in a few days). You know, important stuff. Keith did add a decal to our trailer - I’m working on posting that video shortly. 😉

I’ll try and update the blog when interesting things happen. We may head to see friends this weekend in FL. Then in a few weeks we head to Myrtle Beach to see friends Rob and Kris in the RV. It will be our first RV road trip with friends! 

Our Best Friends Wedding

Keith and I had the pleasure of being apart of two of our favorite people getting hitched - Tricia and Hector. I have known Tricia since 4th grade so being there for her was very important to me.

They decided to get married on September 8th and we wanted to be there for them. Come to find out, Keith is ordained so he was asked to perform the ceremony. You have no idea how honored he was. He loves Hector like a brother so it was a very special moment for him. 

Pruvit Supplies

We flew to Florida a few days early so we could go see my Mom and spend some time with her and her husband. We were excited to see we had a huge stash of Pruvit delivered as our stash was running low and we needed to bring more back with us.

To stay on track we went for a long walk to stay active and managed to eat Keto while visiting. My mother is also doing the Keto diet with us and is in lobe with Pruvit - she loves the orange cream flavor the best and makes a shake daily!

After a few days, we drove down to Ft.Myers to meet up with our friends and get settled in our Airbnb we rented on the beach.

The wedding was on Saturday in Cape Coral and the weather cooperated perfectly for them. It was an awesome ceremony and I am so happy for both of them. We hope them a lifetime of love and happiness!

We were lucky enough to steal them for 2 nights in our Airbnb so we could spend time catching up and just enjoy our time together. Thanks guys for spending your honeymoon with us - we love you two so much!!
