Change of status...

This weekend has been insane; and it's only the beginning of this insane month I have ahead of me.

Thursday night after work my dad and I drove down to Florida and spent the night at my grandfather's place. The next morning I went through and signed my name about 50 times and initialed about 150 times on all of these documents and now I am officially a homeowner in the state of Florida. I am the proud owner of a rather large two-bedroom, two-bathroom condominium across the street from the University of Florida. Sweet.

After that I went to the utilities place and had them set up my cable and internet and then left to go to the DMV. The guy who told us where the DMV was said that the lines are "always really long, last time I was there there were ten people in line and I said 'forget this! I'll come back a different time'" To those who have never had to use the Atlanta area DMVs...ten people is nothing. We went and waited for a (comparatively) short amount of time and soon after I became an official Florida driver. It's also the first time my license has not had "under 21" on it because, I just never got it changed a few years back. w00t! I went to go get a new tag for my car and I'll be getting that next week. It's all very exciting.

After all that fun, we head back to my grandfather's place and pressure-washed his deck completely. It looks almost brand new now. (Did I mention I really like pressure washing? Like...seriously...a lot.) Today we drove back up to Georgia so I can work Monday and Tuesday and move all of my stuff down on Wednesday. Hopefully Wednesday I will meet someone who is thinking about being my roommate (I hope it works out, the guy seems cool enough and I really want to nail this roommate thing down pretty quick). And after that it's vacation, Iowa, and boatloads (oh yes, BOATS!) of more things to do.

It's all very exciting.
