Passport...Check

Well, I can now say I got another wedding thing checked off my to-do list. I got a passport this past Saturday so I can travel to Mexico for the wedding. I made my appointment for 10am this past Saturday at the post office thinking people won't be getting passports right before Christmas so the line at the post office should be non-existent or fairly short. I don't know why I thought like that because not everybody goes to the post office for passports only. I mean two weeks before Christmas they are shipping many packages, picking up packages, etc. etc. etc. I talked Andy into going to the post office with me just in case there was a line he could help keep me company. He initially said this past weekend probably was not a good weekend to get a passport due to the hoards of people who do not use FedEx to ship packages. I thought he was crazy...until we arrived at the post office and saw the very long line. Ok, so maybe Andy was right...this time! Even though I made a 10am appointment the guy on the phone instructed me to stand in line if there was one. Now what is the point of making an appointment...mmmmm? So, we stood in line for about 15 minutes when a lady asked if there was somebody in line for a 10am passport...oh, oh, me, me! I eagerly got out of line and headed straight to the counter. Within seconds I was in a back room to get my horrible passport photo taken. I didn't care how bad it was I was just happy that it only took 5 shots to get my eyes at least partially open. So, I look a little stoned in my passport photo with half open eyes I was just happy to have it done and over with. Now I don't have to worry about that for the wedding. Passport is taken care of and should be arriving in 4 weeks.
