forever a native.

had to switch out our CA plates to be able to get local insurance and drive our car (in preparation for our big trip in a couple days).

can't say it was a completely joyful exercise.

nothing wrong with having NC plates, but, well, i'm just not used to it all yet (and not excited about slowly losing my ties to my state). i still have my CDL, though, which doesn't expire for another year. (phew!)

yeah, all of this is pretty petty. but after living overseas for over 5 years of your life, your roots, and the connections to them, become a little more meaningful...
