MVD!

So if there is anyone out there with a liscense that's about to expire (in NM at least, i don't know about other states) Go take care of it right now...


So early last week of the week before i don't really remember anymore my sister and i thought we would be responsible and finally get our liscenses renewed (mine has been expired since november and hers since december) our excuses for not getting it done sooner...well christmas and have you ever taken kids to the stinking MVD? oh and kristine had just had a baby right after hers expired which i guess is a good excuse.

so i sent kristine in to check out the line and the wait i didn't feel like taking 4 kids out of the car and watch them run around and bug everyone and get in the way and do all the stuff kids do. so she went in pulled a number and waited and waited and oh...they called her number already!!! she went up to tell the ladies at the front what she needed, a new liscense. it should be easy right take a picture, sign your name print it off it's done...no?! i need a birthcertificate (something that proves date of birth), and SSC, and 2 forms of bills, bank statements, etc (that show proof of residence). ok sounds easy. it's ok you don't have to remember all that stuff they give you a paper that has everything that you can use written on it. neither of us could find our birthcertificate but i pointed out to my sister that the list that the people from the MVD gave us said that a marriage certificate could be used instead of a birth certificate. GREAT!! i have that!!!

so kristine took all her stuff to the MVD, i stayed home with the kids. well she wasn't there long before she came back mad and yelling. no they don't except a marraige liscense even though they say the do. i'll spare you all the conversation between my sister and the MVD lady. but my sister pointed out what their "list" said and the MVD lady said "we didn't issue that" HELLO you're the one who gave it to us!!!

so....we had to find or get birthcertificates. easy there's a place in town that will give them to you for $10.00 and a couple hours/a day. so my sister stopped by there to get one for herself. (this is the funny part) YOU HAVE TO HAVE A CURRENT LISCENSE TO GET A BIRTHCERTIFICATE!!!! so we couldn't even get our own BC. (well unless we wanted to mail in a form you fill out online along with a check then in like 10 days to 2 weeks they'd mail you one, funny you don't need a liscense to get one that way) anyways my dad (my parents all save us when we screw up) he went over and got both of our BC for us. we are so lucky to have patient parents even after we're supposed to be doing this life stuff all on our own becuase we're "grown ups"

anyways we finally got our BC and went over the MVD. Got 4 kids out of the car, pull our numbers. wait 10 minutes get called to the front (to check and make sure we have everything we need) and i get up there with my BC, SSC, and 2 bills. WAIT you DON"T accept credit card bills!!!! AHHHHH!!!! my sister says she's getting hers anyways 'cuz she has everything. well an hour later i tell her i'm taking the kids to the car to watch a movie there's only 6 number left before hers. so i take the kids to the car and another 40-50mintues later she has a new liscense!!!! 2 hours! rediculous.

i got up at 7:00am the next morning, got ready got there my 7:35am (they open at 8:00am) waited with the other 20+ people who wanted to get there early. i pull number 6 and 13 mintues later i walk out with a new liscense. finally. but i got a compliment i think...the lady taking my picture said i look like her sister who modeled for Avon in the 80s. i told mario, he laughed. he said she couldn't say her sister who was a model, or her sister who was a model for AVON, she had to throw in the 80s.

just so you know i got a haircut last week and have been complaining that it looks like a 80s rockstar. that makes the comment much more funny. well if you made it this far your reward is........well nothing. just the statisfaction of knowing you'll be smarter and go get your liscense before!!! (or less than a month after) it expires.
