Time to get a new license

On Thursday, I will officially be a resident of a new state, which raises my legit residential tally to 6 states overall:

PA
Iowa
Florida
Illinois (where I voted for some senator with a funny name)
Wisconsin
and now North Carolina.

I lived in Georgia for a summer, long enough to get mail there and pay state tax on my income, but I got mail when I was in Italy, too, and I never really "resided" there, so that state didn't make the cut.

Our house is currently filled with boxes. The movers boxed in a day and a half what would have taken Adrien and I two months to accomplish. Genius. I'm only moving like this from now on.

Also, we have shut off our internet here in Wisconsin, so to get a connection, I have had to sit on my back porch and pick up a faint signal from one of my neighbors. This has led me to realize that it is in fact quite delightful to be outside and on the internet. It seems rather paradoxical, but I quite enjoy it.

When next we talk, I will have a soft southern draw...

Oh! I am also now an ordained minister of the word and sacrament in the Presbyterian Church (USA). Hooray for Jesus!
