DMV EXCURSION
(Tuesday) This morning I took Betsy down to the DMV to do the driving portion of her test. She passed with flying colors and is now an official California driver. This means that all three of our children are drivers -- yeah!

The DMV experience was interesting this time through. Because the Modesto office is closed for remodeling, all of the Modesto people are down in Turlock and there are lines way out the door. However, we had an appointment.

The first employee we dealt with was incredible -- extremely efficient -- handling three customers at once(!) -- and smiling the whole time. The examiner himself was very personable and was obviously working to help Betsy relax (although she wasn't really nervous). And everything was right on time.

If they keep this up we're not going to be able to bash the DMV anymore.
