We started seeing a big difference in how life is in Washington as opposed to California. We checked out of the hotel and drove over to the DOL to be there before they opened. In California, 30 minutes before the DMV opens, there is a line of
With some trepidation we took our number and waited for them to call us to the counter, a mere 5 minutes later. We handed them the receipts from the utility company and we were off to the races.

We are both excited about this next phase of putting down roots again and having a real home base to go to during our off time.
We have another change that I will be sharing with you in the next few blog entries, but for now we are basking in the glow of our new residency, and looking forward to celebrating Craig's birthday on Sunday before we hit the road again. Yes, life is good and we couldn't be happier!

On behalf of the state of Washington allow me to welcome you to the Evergreen State. May you have apples and salmon in abundance, may your coffee cup always be full and may your software never crash.
Congratulations!
OOOOOOOh I am excited for you. In Sandpoint up until 2005 a driver's license was "made" while you waited...paper with picture and then laminated. We're uptown now. Still made while you wait but is spiffier looking...all plastic. I get nervous waiting for changes/news.
