Yesterday I had a special birthday. By "special" I mean it was time to renew my driver's license. I actually get butterflies when going to the DMV. I think it's because you never know what they (the masters of my driving destiny) are going to say you need. It changes every single time I go in there. I even tried to look for it on the web before I went and they make that really hard also. So, this is how it went.
11:30am Arrived at the DMV.
11:45 was told I needed a birth certificate and S.S. card. No problem I brought both, along with bills with my current address on it and 2 forms of I.D. I was told I brought my Hospital Certificate instead of my birth Certificate. The lady was very nice and told me to drive to Sandy to the Vital Statistics office and print off an official Birth Certificate.
12:20 On my way to Sandy. I decided to call Jon to tell him what I was doing. He informed me that I couldn't get a birth certificate there since I was born in TX. Oh. I called them to make sure and they said the same thing.
12:30 Stopped for lunch and went home.
3:30 Went to my parents house to look through their files for a copy of my birth certificate. Found Ryan's Lincoln's, Donovan's Devon's and even mom and dad's. Not Lisa's or mine.
4:00 found a copy of my birth certificate after looking forever in our files. Rushed back to the DMV.
5:00 Waited for about 45 minutes and was informed my Birth Certificate was abbreviated. They don't take abbreviated ones anymore, it's a new rule. He said he'd give me a temporary license that would last for 6 months but in the mean time I need to contact TX and pay for a new non abbreviated certificate and have it mailed to me. Then I get to go back. He did take my picture which at that point I felt a little frazzled. Cheese.
5:30 Called Jon on the way home to tell him I still didn't get it and would he make dinner for the kids before soccer practice, games, etc.
This was actually the day before my birthday. My actual birthday was a great day!

This is so funny! I have to go register a car at the DMV at some point and am dreading it with every fiber of my being. You'll have to do a follow up and let us know when you finally get your license.
Oh man! I wouldn't wish that day on my worst enemy (if I had one:-)
Sorry Kyla. What a pain. I'm glad your real birthday was better.
