It's official! I'm now an Oregonian!

I did it! This morning, I finally bit the bullet and took the drivers' knowledge test to get my Oregon driver's license. I've lived here for almost ten months now, so it's about freakin' time! Actually, I tried to go about a month ago, but it was during a week day and I had Tyler with me (Jazz was at school). They told me that you're not allowed to bring kids in with you to take tests. So, I had to wait till a Saturday to take it, so my hubby could watch the kids. There are very few DMV's in the area that are open on Saturday, so I had to drive out to Sherwood to take the test. I got there about ten minutes before it opened, but there was already a line of at least 30 people waiting outside the building.

I had heard from numerous sources how hard the test was. Many people I've spoken with had to take it multiple times. So, I was all preparing myself for something totally brain-wrenching. I woke up at 5:30 this morning, this SATURDAY morning, to read through the manual and study. I was more than a little shocked when I went in to take the test. Talk about EASY. I zipped right through that thing, and it took me all of maybe 5 minutes. I went back and double-checked all my answers, then turned it in. I passed it on the first try! Whoopee! Now, when I have to show people my ID, they won't think I'm just visiting. I used to always get strange looks, along with comments like "Idaho, huh? What are you doing out here?" Not any more!

Well, I now must go. Jasmine hasa Primary party to go to (celebrating its 127th birthday). Tyler gets to stay home with Daddy, so this should be fun.
