Voting, Marriage, & Moving

Monday:

I am looking for my voter registration card. Didn't find it. I DID however find my Busch Garden's Pass. Woohooo!

Scott had ALL Voter Registration Cards- past and current. BUT, no Busch Garden Pass...where, I wonder, are his priorities?

Tuesday:

Apparently, you don't need a voter's registration card to vote. Chan & I voted together. It took us 8 minutes. Scott was ultra careful...it took him 15 minutes.

Wednesday

Neither of us could find the original marriage certificate. This will present as a problem in Ireland...so we took a field trip downtown. The fact that we couldn't find the Certificate seemed to trouble Scott's Grandfather. He keep stating, "You ARE married!" -emphatically- like he was trying to convince himself. The fact that I couldn't seem to located my wedding rings did not alleviate his concerns.

I tried to be reassuring- I reminded him that he is the person who walked me down the aisle.-- This did not appease him, he needed cold hard proof.

When I later presented him with 3 Certified Copies of my Certificate, he was so over-joyed and relieved, that he took us all out for dinner. Yippee! It was like a mini-reception.

& The best news YET!!! My BFF made me my ID Card for Ireland. I am going to print it out, copy it in triplicate, and laminate all 3. She is also helping me adjust to the vernacular, etc...take a look at her hints and suggestions at:
