Rest assured, the real blogger is back!

As I'm trying to right this blog, Daniel reads the title and spits across the screen. ('Least it got it's yearly cleaning.) Mom left on Wednesday to return home. It was really great having her here to help us go through stuff and make sense of where to stick things. We really want to thank Ben and Celi for helping us lug everything up the stairs. It took some time, but we did it and I'm extremely grateful for their help. I'm learning my way around--so much that Daniel even admitted that I might know how to get around better than him now. However, I have had my mess-ups. When I took Ben and Celi to the airport, I missed my exit off the free part of the toll road to get to my real exit...so I took the really really long way around, but I managed. I didn't have to call anyone or even stop. Man I'm good. Coming back from Baltimore (Mom's flight left from there), I accidentally took the exit for the free part of the toll road...oops. I guess I'm a criminal now...but at least I saved $1.25.

Well, I'm officially a Virginian now. Apparently, I'm for lovers. They tried to say I needed some other information--like my birth certificate--I quickly said that I had a marriage certificate wouldn't that do? And they said "oh yeah, that'll work too." I mean be somewhat helpful. It took me longer to get through the "gatekeepers" line then actually sitting for them to call my number. I was sitting for like 5 minutes and they called my number...I didn't have any of my paperwork done. So, I'm up there and tell the guy what I needed to do and all he did was give me one-worded answers. I didn't know what I was doing and so I was trying to understand- When I asked him if I was getting my title back (my original Alabama title)---he laughed at me and said "yeah." Heck, I didn't know how it all worked and I didn't get my original title back. I got a new one for Virginia. It's not as pretty as the Alabama title. Anyways, I now have my Virginia license, new title, ss card, temporary tag, and a new voter registration card on the way. The cool thing was that they made my license right there in about 5 minutes. No paper license. Although, I think their red pigment was a little off because now it looks like I have a severe sunburn. Oh well, such is life---at least I actually have my license.

I'm still slowly working through our stuff and trying to get things organized. It's coming together. The air conditioner man came to look at our unit to see why it wasn't blowing through some of the vents. Apparently it was still blowing, we just couldn't tell it cause our hand wasn't touching the vent. He says there is nothing wrong and I think he thought I was stupid. Tonight, we had dinner with one of Daniel's friends from work, Roger. It was very nice to meet him and I think I was used. We went to this Mexican restaurant where if someone at your table has never been there, then you get a free dessert-sopapillas. Well guess who had been there before and who hadn't? Pretty sure I was used, but the dessert was good. When we were driving home, we saw a fox in the middle of the road. It was trying to cross the street but it stopped in the middle while we drove by. It was a little one and kinda cute--not that I wanted it for a pet or anything. It was the first time I had seen a real fox and in that regard it was pretty cool.

Daniel didn't want to write/type anything tonight so I guess I'm spent. TTFN.
