Stepping into reality

This may come as a disgrace to the law abiding citizens out there, but after 5 years in denial of our move to CA (not the 10 days they "suggest"), I went to the DMV this week to submit my Hawaii license.  This was a sad day for me, but the years of holding off most definitely helped keep my eyes dry.  At times it feels like a dream that I lived in paradise.  I have to admit, it was mostly for the expiration date of this summer coming up that I didn't really want to deal with, and also my kids trusty 2nd mother going out of town soon that made me give it up.  I guess I won't be hearing "WHY in the world did you move HERE?" anymore when showing my ID.  Aloha 'oe.

i love those comments- ok, i really don't, but i do love my hawaii license. maybe you should just move back for a little bit so that you can get another one and keep it for a few more years? if we ever get a house you can use our address!
