Costa Rica and a trip to the DMV

I just got back from my short trip to go and hang with the fam in CR. We rented a bus and went to the beach for the day to celebrate my grandmother's birthday with 45 of our closest family friends. It was really hot but we had a fabulous time and you could hear the noise from pretty far away. On my way down to CR I met a guy who is not from CR but actually bought property in Limon...that is so awesome, I really need to kick my game up!

I have been pretty sick this week but I still managed to stand on line at the DMV to finally get a license with my married name. I totally dragged my feet on this because I really hate the DMV but I was pleasantly surprised to see that they actually have a system in place and the women working in there did not have too much of a nasty attitude. The other truth of the matter is that changing my name had to be a gradual process because originally we weren't even on the same page. When we agreed on hyphenating one year after we got married was when I was ready to start taking steps to updating everything. I am very happy to be a member of his family but I am still a post-feminist woman so everything that I accomplished prior to being married under my birth name really does matter; I do not work for fun...I am in it to win!
