Rejoice! Legal documentation!

So a few weeks ago my girlfriend, Kelly, and I went down to finally apply for our passports. I've wanted to get one, even if just for the sake of having one, for a long time but just never bothered because "I could always get it tomorrow.".....you know how that goes.

Well we finally did it, and only because we had to, we're going to Mexico and you of course now need a passport to travel to Mexico. I knew this because I'm a nerd and watched the senate committee hearing in CSPAN, one of the best channels on TV.

As with everything else in life, I got my passport before Kelly did, and she went on to worry if hers was even going to come. So after teasing her about how the Lord chose me for greatness which is why I had my passport, I had to unnecessarily assure her that there was no scenario where her "passport wouldn't be here on time", which was not possible because we had the option to pay for expedited service, which she would not hear a word of while she was in this state. For all of the great things about Kelly, there are a few that make me want to engage in combat with her, and that is one of them.

Not that it matters now, because hers did arrive, and again, I looked fantastic in my passport photo, and she looked a tiny bit silly. It looked like I punched her in the mouth and her lower lip was swollen. Score yet another point for team me! (She is beautiful though, so don't get it twisted.)

So as we near our trip for Mexico, I can't help but to feel lucky that I'm in a position where I'm able to do something like...go to Mexico. I'm not wealthy by any means, but to have an opportunity to go somewhere nice for a vacation is something that I do not take for granted. Lucky for me, her parents have a condo they purchased back when Cabo was not the attraction it is now. Like I said, lucky for me. I won't be taking my daughter with me, as she is too young to enjoy it, but her time will come.

Stay tuned for earth shattering developments and shocking updates. Oh me and my teasers.
