Licensed to Live in Happy Valley

Well, it's official...I am now a Utah resident. After three years of living here, I finally got a new driver's license. Apparently, I'm an actual Utah citizen now. I would have kept the TN one (I still have the plates!) but it was expiring. (It's just as well...like all driver's license pictures, mine really sucked so it was definitely time for a new one.) I also just got a lease renewal notice for my apartment, and for the first time in three years, I'm not moving again! I will sign it and stay comfortably put in my hip little red-and-black-bedecked place.

All these residency issues have made me think about how long I've lived here and how my life is going. My horoscope on my birthday said: "Regardless of what you may be thinking at the moment, you actually do have a terrific life." And while I'm in desperate need of a vacation on a beach, things are going pretty well. With summer just around the corner, I'm heading into the best season...work is busy, therefore lucrative...summer in Utah is beautiful...I have a fun opportunity possibly coming up that would keep me out in the sun doing something I love.

While I'm semi-introspective about the fact that the last three years of my life have been hectic and life-changing, I'm also super-optimistic about what the future holds. "The rest is still unwritten...."
