I am having to renew my passport since I let it expire...this has been difficult, to say the least. Anyway, I had to find my old passport first and didn't have the foggiest of where it was. I usually keep important papers in my safe but pulled it out a year or so ago to renew it and then forgot to put it back. And, I never renewed it...duh!!!!!
Anywho...see I was born outside the US in Berlin, Germany and having to try to find my old birth certificate which isn't enough...you have to have some F12398540902986940986094&*(*^*%*(&@( form as well....but you get my drift...it has to come in from the government if I couldn't find my old passport. That takes time and I need this thing now!!! I will be heading out of the country in January and must have everything in order. So, I call my Mom who is the sweetest thing, and ask her if she knows where my birth certificate is. I found my marriage license/divorce decree, etc., etc., in my safe but no passport or birth certificate. She calls me back and says she doesn't have it. Hmmmmmmm.......and I have no clue...
I remember when I first got my passport what a pain in the a$$ it was to get everything done!
After literally tearing the house apart, I finally prayed and said, Please, Jesus, help me find it! I went out into the garage to some boxes and the first one I came to I opened it up and the passport was on top! Thank the Lord!!!!! Then, Mom calls and said she found the birth certificate along with the government thingy that says I'm a U.S. citizen born outside the country. So, all is well.
I filled out my new application, have old passport in hand and now all I need is my SS card and my drivers license......oh my...where are they???? LOL! I know exactly where they are and I guarantee that I will know where my passport is next time! Whew! What a morning! I think I'm going to go out and shoot some stuff.
