Momzoo is a Dummy!

I am a dummy.

Hi, my name is Momzoo
and I am a dummy!

About three o’clock this morning I woke up out of a dead sleep remembering that my Drivers Licence had expired on Sunday, my birthday. “What is the big deal” you all think, “just fill out the forms and mail them in”…well….umm…..it should be that easy but….. You see Momzoo is also a little lazy and a bit of a procrastinator. Actually a huge procrastinator. I did get a letter in the mail about 3 months ago from the DMV, or who ever they are, stating that the name on my SSN and the name on my Drivers Licence didn’t match. Well, that is true, you see I never completely changed my name when I married Dadzoo 10 years ago. My SSN still has my maiden name Aimee Johnson, and my Drivers licence has my married name Aimee Johnson Kieffer.

I know, I know….I swear I was going to get around to it, but the last 10 years have been busy, and really the only time I remembered was at tax time when I filed under my maiden name. Really, I didn’t keep my maiden name because I wanted to make sure I really wanted Kieffer as a last name, I do, I truly want to take my husbands name, but like I said, I have been busy……

When I woke up I got on-line to see what I needed to do. On the web site it said that if your licence has lapsed that you needed to be prepared to do the written and driving test.

Come again?

Did that mean since my licence was lapsed for 4 days I needed to take the driving test again? Oh Crud! I was only 4 days late (and with the wrong name) and my driving record is pristine (OK, there was that one speeding ticket, but I swear I didn’t know I was going over the speed limit!)

So I am feeling a little sick again at this point. I am having visions of spending the morning at the Social Security office in Salt Lake and the DMV all afternoon trying to pass my tests. Thank goodness Dadzoo was working from home, then I could at least leave the kids at home. But what happens if I don’t pass? I can’t just drive myself home, heck, I really shouldn’t be driving myself there either….I don’t have a valid drivers licence

!

I was panicking, really starting to panic!

 

Then (trumpets sounding) Dadzoo to the rescue. Instead of fretting and worrying like I was doing he called the DMV…hmmmm…..good idea, and found out that since I was only 4 days late I didn’t need to take any test over again, since I had a good driving record (except for that one speeding ticket…ok…maybe it was two speeding tickets) and all I needed to do was show my Social Security card with my old name and my Drivers Licence with my new name on it.

That was it.

No biggy.

Good ‘ol Dadzoo taking charge, finding out the facts, solving problems while I was melting into a puddle having visions of never being able to drive again….

 

I like Dadzoo’s style.

When I combine every wonderful thing about him I get the man I married. The perfect, wonderful, kind, amazing man that our Heavenly Father sent to me.

10 years…part III

Posted on by

The years have flown past. We have had 5 kids, lived in two apartments, bought a house, driven 5 cars, fought too many time to count and made up just as many times. We have laughed, cried wondered how we were going to make it and planned for the future. We have traveled to Savannah GA and California, and spent a few nights alone in Salt Lake City. We have been to weddings, funerals, baby blessings, baptisms (two of our own children) and countless family get togethers. The life we have lived together, built together for the last 10 years has been wonderful and I am excited to see what the next 10, 20, 3o years will bring to us, together.

Here are more reasons why I love you Mike, and why I think you are wonderful!!!!!!

15. He pretty much let me name all our kids
14. He thinks I am a great cook
13. He will stop at Sonic on the way home from work to buy me a Diet Coke with vanilla
12. He takes time off work to be at the kid’s school functions
11. He stays home with the kids while I go to Park City with the ladies of my family

(Mike scanned a bunch of the old pictures for these posts, our scanner isn’t the best that is why the picture quality isn’t so great.)
