Frustrating day

We have been settling in to our new house.  We have gotten some new furniture and are waiting for the rest of our homegoods to get here.  Today we picked up a free grill and a free la-z-boy.  We also spent $10 to by a set of washers (the game).  Yesterday we got a great deal on a 42" tv full HD not to mention it was only $375, because we got the display model and that was 25% off.  So those are just some of the new/used things we have picked up.

I had a day earlier this week that was so frustrating to me.  Everything that could go wrong went wrong.  I tried to go on base to get Greg's car so that I could get the oil changed.  The guy at the gate said no and took my paper from my car.  So Greg had to come pick me up at the back gate.  I did get the oil changed quickly.  Then we went to the DMV to get the title and registration put into our names for my car.  While we waited I picked up and filled out a paper to get my Guam driver's license.  The line was super long for driver's license line.  So once we did get the title and registration in our names and left.  Then I went to get my stickers for my car to get on base and the guy had to check to make sure my window tint was too dark.  The guy who had the car before us said it was never in question.  He said it couldn't be more than .2 in darkness and it was .4. So I could only get a temporary pass.  The guys told me the pass was good for 2 weeks, but I had to get the tint fixed.  I left and went to put air in my tire after that it just barely registered it was so low on pressure.  Back to the DMV I went after this.  Only to get there and realize I did not have my social security card.  So I ran back home and grabbed it only to wait in line again.  I finally was called and I showed them everything including my endorsed motorcycle license.  In PA they only give you a stamp on the permit once you have passed the test.  The guys said they would not count that as a motorcycle license, because it has to be on the plastic card.  After and infuriating conversation with this guy he told me I could get the operator license and they could do the motorcycle later, but I would have to pay full price both times.  I have to have my license changed by 30 days after we arrived.  It was a super frustrating day.  When I got home I started working on the tint in my car.  It was some sort of adhesive contact sort of paper so I could peel it off on my own.  Once it was peeled off it smelled terrible and you couldn't see out of the window, because of the adhesive.   I then scrubbed the window with rubbing alcohol.  Fun times!

that's better

Yesterday I joined the praise team for my first rehearsal here.  I had a good time.  These people know how to have a good time.  They would break into a different song when we finished a song.  They had so much fun.  You could see how excited they were to be there and that they meant what they were doing.  

Last night we went out with our friend, Bruce, to a karaoke bar.  That was so much fun!  I got a shout out when I sang "If you wanna be happy" and some cheers when I sang Cher's if I could turn back time.  (Michelle if you would have been there with me we could have done I got you babe.)  Greg even sang 2 different songs, one being "Don't stop believing."  It was a great time and I was so excited that Greg decided he would sing.  Bruce rocked out some of the good oldies and even played his harmonica with the songs.  Super cool!

I think that is all I have to report for now I will let you know when there is more.
