Now I can relax- a bit! After what was a LONG process Keith and I have our Kentucky State Drivers' License. It was a convoluted 3 step process...
Step 1- Find the downtown office without the GPS. stand in line for 1 hour and pay many quarters for parking to get denied for a Social Security number.
Step 2- go to the BLUE LETTER office with all you paperwork and no husband ... Step 2 (again) go to the Blue Letter office WITH your husband, 3 children and ALL your paperwork to get a BLUE letter to give to the License guys. Megan didn't think the paper was all that blue!
Step 3- FIND the License office without the GPS, take all you paperwork, take the eye test (Teresa almost failed). take the computer test (designed for trained chimps) and book the road test.
Step 4- Borrow a friend's mini van (because Teresa cannot parallel park Dad's F350 Diesel truck), pray like crazy and take the simple road test! Pay all of $20 for the license and smile for the picture.
Am I ever glad that one is behind us. Now we can buy a vehicle and get insurance. My mom said that I should try out my Kentucky accent so that I would sound like a local- that won't work when you are nervous! The kids are proud of their mom and dad.
The kids are now looking forward to getting a vehicle of our own- the truck is a HUGE blessing as we have needed it to get furniture for the house... BUT they are a little tired of walking from the back of every parking lot. We are hoping to see Keith's mom and dad here after corn harvest... the kids can hardly wait! They will take the truck and horse trailer home to Canada when they come. Until then- the truck is a city truck!
The adventures continues.....
