I’m one step closer to my 40 B4 40 goal of getting my passport. Hopefully, it won’t be as touch and go as getting my California Drivers License. The amount of legal documentation required to prove my identity was incredibly frustrating and almost not accepted. (Hint: don’t change your name twice and then move to California. In fact, NEVER change your name. It’s such a hassle.)

The sunset was today’s 365 photo. On Sunday, I wore
Saturday’s leggings and took Jasper to watch the California International Marathon.

My dad had an attack of heritage when I was a kid and changed our last name from a very simple American-ized name to his father's original Italian last name. I can remember being taught how to spell it when I was 5, all nine letters (five of which are vowels). It has caused such a freaking hassle in my adult life with getting documentation. When I got married, when I got a passport, etc etc. I've had to get school records and all kinds of craziness.
ReplyDeleteThen one day I actually looked at the court order and it just changed *his* name. My mom, my sister, and if were not even listed. So in 1985, apparently we just started using different names. Good times.
Gorgeous sunset! The 365's are a nice addition to your blog!
ReplyDeletedoes Jasper think those folks are kinda slow?
ReplyDeleteWe were at mile 19, so they were pretty tired. I'm sure jasper would have happily pulled one along, though!
