It's Official!

Last Friday morning, I went in late to work so that I could get NC plates on my car. I was trying to delay it as much as possible but since my VA inspection was dead, I could either get NC plates or not go back to VA until I did. For a week, it felt like I was literally banned from the state of Virginia.

So as of around 9:30 last Friday morning, I made it official. I checked off everything on the "moving" list that my dad wrote out for me when I moved in. More specifically, I have an NC driver's license, registered to vote and registered my car complete with "First in Flight" North Carolina plates. I officially (legally) belong to the state of North Carolina. (I could return my VA plates to the lovely state of Virginia but I think I'm going to keep them and hang them up in my apartment somewhere. If I move again, I can just keep track of all the states I've lived in!)

To make it even more official, I had my first ever Bojangles experience today.

Bojangles was born and raised in Charlotte, NC and though I've been to North Carolina at least once a year every year of my life, I've never eaten at a Bojangles. When I told my coworkers this, they insisted we go there for lunch today; that and they have an all-you-can-eat lunch special on Wednesdays. I must admit, I was not disappointed. I had chicken, fries, mac and cheese (of course) and a biscuit and it was quite tasty. Very "KFC-like" but just a tad bit better.

So...NC license? Check. NC plates? Check. Bojangles Taste Experience? Check. Home Sweet Home! Not much left to do except figured out where everything else is and try all these hole-in-the-wall restaurants that keep showing up on food network.
