I have finally received my passport! It took less time then they said it would. The Dept. of State estimated 10 to 12 weeks, they got it done in 8. I was worried I would not get it before I moved, and it was being sent to my Buffalo address. I called and informed them as such, they switched the address and had it completed by August 1st and overnighted to the apartment in Milford. I was floored. I had Chris mail it to me, so I would have it for ID reasons. I just happened to lose my NYS ID later that day too. I did find it yesterday, got my passport today.

Now you may be asking, why do I have a passport? I am moving to NH, to live with my soul-mate, why would I need to leave? Let me list them!

1. The movement of the US government shows that you will be required to have a National ID, within the next five years.
2. To enter a federal building soon, you need a ID card or form of ID approved by them, most state ID’s unless they conform with the real id act fall under this. A Passport does
3. If I get a job that may require to journey overseas on short notice having a passport makes me more valuable.
4. At the time of applying, I had been planning on going to Alfred State, where I was applying for a Study Aboard program. I had the money, I wouldn’t then.
5. A passport is a solid form of ID, given I lost my NYS ID (but found it), a passport would solve ID requirements at DMV’s.

So there ya are!!! Passport for me, yay! Its all cool and snazzy and yayness.

Talk to ya later!!!
