Confession

I finally went on an adventure yesterday to get my name changed.
Yeah, Yeah...

 I probably should've done that about 7 months ago. But hey! I have an excuse. Logan only does it on Thursdays at a certain time via webcam, and Thursdays are quite busy days! 

So I made the excursion down to Ogden to do the deed. 

Another confession: my license has been expired since I turned 22. Yep, I'm a rebel. 

-Or just an idiot-

So when I got to the social sec. office I walked into the room full of about 32 peeps ahead of me that all smelled quite lovely..maybe that's a lie. I took my number and sat down and started playing solitaire on my phone. I soon realized I needed to fill out some paper work, but I was pen-less. Shoot!

I wasn't about to ask one of my buddies to my right or left because they didn't look too happy to be there. 

ANYWAY. I didn't fill it out. 

55 minutes later, my number {A197} was called, and I felt very self conscious walking in front of a large crowd because I KNOW they were all staring at me. There was nothing else to look at. 

I got to the window and the woman just stuck out her hand for my schtuff. 

My hands were shaking as I handed her the marriage license and my expired drivers license. 

Woman with an attitude as big as her lips: Did you fill out your paper?

Me: No I couldn't find a pen. But I can do it quick!

Woman: Well did you atleast fill out your social?

Me: Oh yes. {As I begin writing it down}

Lips: So, you just lied to me?

Me: Sorry, I thought you said "could you atleast fill out your social?"

Woman: Mmhmm.

Woman again: Oh no no no, this license is expired! {pursing lips} I'm gonna need another form of ID.

Me: I know, I wanted to change my name before I got a new license.

I don't have any other ID, would a pay stub work?

Woman: haha NO, do you have a health insurance card?

Me: Oh yeah! 

{of course I hand her the one that doesn't include my name. Hooray for double coverage!}

She then went on explaining that NO amount of cute will save you from an expired license. 

And that it would be 'real bad' if I was going somewhere on emergency then got pulled over. 

Yada yada yada. 

Basically, she gave me a lot of crap! but it's ok, I wouldn't expect any less...

I was definitely in the wrong. 

After that I was able to go to Target {yay!}, got our winter tires put on, then headed to the DMV. 

Oddly enough the guy at the DMV was SOOO nice! I was expecting to have to take the driving test all over again {thanks for freaking me out, mom! haha}

Did you guys know you're supposed to legally change your address every time you move? Well I've never done that, and I've moved about 6 times since I've gotten my license. 

 Tip#1: if you get pulled over and the cop asks what your address is, be sure it's the same as the one on your license! OR you'll be ticketed. {Thanks DMV guy!}

Tip#2: DON'T run "legal" errands on a Monday.

I'm pretty sure that's when everyone and their boyfriends and puppies go!

So who's excited for Thanksgiving? I know the Feller's are! {that's us :)} 

We've been in "Thanksgiving Break" mode for a bit longer than the actual break. 

We can't wait to spend 4 days stuffing our faces with his family. 

I'm a bit stressed out with about 8 projects I've got going on right now. The end of the semester has always been intense, but I'd say this one is by far the worst. It's crunch time, so we're gonna be having a LOT of late nights in our home.Lucky for me I've got a hubby that will rub my stinky feet and make apple cider :)

I'm pretty sure I love the holidays so much more being married. I remember years in the past being sorta cranky at work when I'd hear Christmas music, or when it was busy. But I'm lovin' it right about now!

Happy Thanksgiving!!!
