I'm officially a Georgia Peach!!!
Well, it's official! I am a Georgia peach. How? you ask. Today, I went to the DMV and surrendered my Michigan driver's license (really, they took it and wouldn't give it back!) and got a new Georgia one. Trav and I both went (he took some time off this morning) and we took the boys. It was a fiasco of sorts.
First, getting ready and out the door took a lot longer than either of us expected. Hey, if I was going to get my picture taken for my license, I was going to look as good as I could. So, I took a shower, did my hair and actually did my makeup!!! Woah, I know! I didn't just have to get me ready....no...I had to get the boys ready too! Finally, at about 11:30, we all climbed into the car with documents galore in hand (hmmm...marriage license, MI driver's licenses, mortgage bill, birth certificates and social security cards!). Unfortunately, we forgot to grab the directions to get to the office. We headed out toward AAA to get our insurance transferred, but found out we didn't need to go there, we could do it all over the phone. So, we needed to get to the DMV. We stopped at a DUI place to get directions and about 20 minutes later were headed to the office.
Got to DMV at 12:25 and Trav stood in line in the 30 degree cold while the boys and I stayed in the car until he was about to enter the building (they only allow 5 people in at a time so everyone else has to wait outside! 8) ) We got in there and eventually got checked in...and almost as soon as I got checked in, I was called up. Of course, I get up there, the guy sees I don't have my form filled out and tells me to go sit and finish it. Ok..whatever. I get back up there and some lady comes to talk to him, Keegan is screaming at this point, Braden is putting his hand in the candy machine and I am tired of waiting! About a year later (well...it seemed that long), another lady took the guy's place...(who am I to delay his break???? Ughhh...) and got things going. When that was done, off to wait to have our pics taken.
Decided to take my coat off to get my pic taken....BIG mistake. Thought I took a decent pic, UNTIL I got it back! My smile is good, but it shows my double chin (Can we say motivation to diet???!!!) AND my shirt is almost off my right shoulder showing my bra strap and the string of my scapular. UGGHHHHH....I can NEVER take a good pic. Oh well, it is now 1:30 and I just don't care anymore!!! We get in the car and head home. At least we are official, eh?
Oh, and we aren't done...we still have to get our tags, titles and license plates. I sure hope that that is not as big of an adventure!
