Quick Note

Just want to say one thing.

Maryland is amazing.

But, besides that. Some of the steps we have had to go through are just crazy. One is getting the car and drivers licenses transferred over. Apparently Maryland is on the higher end of insurance requirements, and so most insurance policies from other states are not applicable here.

Then, in order to get driv

ers licenses, they require a good handful of things, including two proofs of residency. One of the main ones which I imagine most people have, are utility bills, and utility installation bills. However, we're basically "roommates" with the house owner, so the utilities are all in her name already.

One thing I did do when I changed our address with Wells Fargo was order checks (with both Holly and Dustin on the checks) and one proof of residency they will accept is a cancelled check with the names. So, when the checks get here I suppose we will just have to find something to buy. :-) Oh darn right.

Anyways, that is getting worked out. I just had no idea how complicated it was going to be. I figured a week or so after we got here we would just mosey on into the DMV, flash our California licenses, fill out some papers and presto, new Maryland licenses. Oh well.

On another note, we have some local deer that come by nearly every day. Pretty cool (until they start eating the garden.) Sometimes (like last night) when we leave from or return to the house after dark, they will even be in our front lawn, or by the mailbox.
