Drivers License

So today I went in to get a new driers license, well I never got a new one after we got married. So now I need to change the name on it and I need to do it before June 12. Well I go in and I swear this lady did not listen to me I had to tell her three times what I wanted and she did not get it until she pulled up my info. Then she tells me the only way to change my name is to have my marriage license. Well I have no idea where it is and we did not get our marriage license at Bonnivelle county so they can't just pull it and she tells me that the only way to change my last name is to have my marriage license, frustrating!!
So now the search for the marriage license.

Why do have to have it changed by June 12?
Well I am taking the PHR test, which is the Professional Human Resource Certification. Just an added advantage for me. Most jobs either require it or recommend it. If I take it right out of school it is cheaper, therefore I am taking it on the 12th. My last name has to match and since it does not I need to have my drivers license changed by then.

Jackpot

This weekend we went to Jackpot to celebrate my graduation. We got there on Friday and met Matt's parents. They had gotten the room for us, and when we walked in Ronda handed us a voucher. One that she had gotten from gambling, but had never cashed out. It was for $200. She said she wanted us to have a great time so instead of gambling away the money she saved it for us. I thought that was nice and made it a lot easier to sit at a machine and play all night.

I had fun and keep winning enough to keep my playing. However, I play the penny machines and bet 10 cents per bet, so no big bets means no big wins. Now Matt keep plying the dollar slots and I keep telling him to quit playing them. Well later that night when we were about to call it quits he came up to me with a $100 voucher, he had put a dollar in the dollar slot machine and won a $100. So that was pretty cool. I sat most of the night at a penny machine called Ay Carumba. I ended up next to a girl who smoked nonstop. I was winning and having fun so I stayed.

I paid for it the next morning. I was coming down with a cold to begin with and I was really bothered by the smoke so we left pretty early the next day. I called my sister to ask her for some Benadril and she tells me that she had her allergies tested and she is highly allergic to tobacco. Since allergies are genetic I am assuming that the cigarette smoke is what killed me.

We did have fun and now we are back to reality and packing.

Graduation

Saturday was graduation. What a day!
We got into Pocatello about 8:45am and waited forever, graduation started at 10am. We walked in and I wanted my family to know where I was so I jumped and waved (like a little kid) on my way in.
We sat and waited forever. It was finally our turn, so we are standing in line and when I get up to the stage they say my name and I hear people cheer, which was a great feeling. I get to the end of the ramp getting off the stage and I see Matt taking pictures, what a great husband.

Then I have a teacher, who I adore, say to me I told you I would be here... so I hug him and tell him to enjoy retirement, now I am so thrown off I go the wrong way and end up clear outside of the chairs, which is good, my sister takes pictures and video. Then I go back to my seat and have to climb over everyone, at this time I am about 5 people behind.

Overall it was one of the best days I have ever had. I am so glad I could have walked the line and had so many people there to support me.

Packing

Who ever thought packing would be so hard?
Maybe it is hard because we are moving away, but it has been really emotional and hard.
At times Patrick is upset and gives me an attitude about it and then at times he is willing to help and starts to pack. Then sometimes the tables turn, it it Matt's turn to be upset about moving.

I know it is not easy for either of them, but it sure is making it harder for me. I cried last night, not because I am sad to leave, I view this as my opportunity. But I cried because it makes it so hard to hear, "I never wanted to move"

We'll all be OK right?

Burley

This weekend Patrick had a state bowling tournament in Burley. It was in April that we found out that he was going, at the time we had no idea that we would be moving there. Well he bowled Saturday and Sunday so that gave us a chance to see the town
.

Since it is not a big town it did not take us too long.

I have to be there in June, and since we know the house will not sell that fast Matt will stay and sell the house. So I will be going back forth (just like last summer, and I thought we were past that!) and he may stay for the entire summer to work. I will have to get an apartment that we can all move into, which probably means a 6 month lease and then we will start looking to buy another house.

So while we were there we also looked for an apartment to rent. Now there are some real dumps and some pretty decent ones. We have not found one as of yet, but we have it narrowed to 2. We saw one of them and I will call on the other one tomorrow. The big deciding factor will be if pets are allowed or not. Who would have thought pets would make it difficult to rent.
