I took a day off from work (because its use or lose time) and I still have a few administrative things to do stemming from my name change and from moving from Canada to the U.S.

Today's mission was to get a AZ driver's license. My MN license had expired while I was living in Canada, so I had just renewed it in Ontario last year. Now that I moved back, time to change it again. I went in expecting to have to take a test, but since I happened to have a certified copy of my driver's extract from MN, they just let me take a vision test and take a picture. The fee was only $20 for a license that expires over 20 years from now. And after hearing the horrific stories of the long waits for ADOT, I was pleasantly surprised that the whole trip, including the picture and vision test, took less than 45 minutes. They make your license right there on the spot, so you walk out in hand with it.

On top of that, I checked my tracking number for I-130 package and it was received at the CA Service Center this morning. All is good with the world.
