One car fully legal

Denise and I started off the day with a trip to the auto insurance company.  We chose a company last week while still at home and completed then necessary paperwork signing, scanning and sending documents.  It was nice to meet Mrs Boatswain in person today after a few calls and emails last week.  

With that done we were able to go to the post office and get the keys to the PO box we reserved.  We decided to use the post office in the center of the island instead of the Christiansted location since we didn't know where we'd end up for work.  Our neighbors of the property, Ryan and Sarah, said they picked Christiansted due to the ease of entry at busy times.  We'll see how this goes and possibly change it next year.  Now it's time to change our address on everything!  Send us an email @ taubertdomes@gmail.com if you'd like the PO box address.  

Our final stop was the DMV to change the title and register our 2013 Subaru Legacy.  
With weather like this we really didn't mind the hour wait for the vehicle safety inspection.  Everyone at the DMV were nice and really helpful.  It was a great idea to get the first car through the port and customs using a broker.  Ferrol Trucking had all my required paperwork to register the car in the glove box; all we needed was the insurance card.  This made the process easy for all of us and got us on our way in a few hours.  
We officially have VI plates!  Had we actually looked at a calendar we would have known to take the car in tomorrow instead of today.  We have an April sticker on the windshield which means the sticker is good until the end of that month, so we shorted ourselves 30 days.  Oh well, we had a good time and have better things to do tomorrow clearing brush on our road.  

Dinner tonight was shrimp, steamed broccoli and mashed potatoes served on a fancy cat tree box kitchen table.  Everything turned out perfect and we enjoyed a nice relaxing dinner together.
