Kathy's journey

[JudiBlueEyes]

Oh My Goodness!  You look smashing, Kathy.  I love to color on you.  I love thrift shops as well.  I'm always looking for a bargain.  Around here there are many of them stocked with like new items and some with tags still on them!  Wow! 

You certainly found a beautiful style that suits you well.  I love your avatar photo too!

You are looking beautiful girl! Well put together and lovely.

Just a reminder, you did have an open invitation to another wedding last month a bit south west of you....just saying,

Take care girlfriend,
Tia Anne

I wasn't going to say anything!  [emoji6] Her absence was deeply felt, though.

Yes, I know, and I feel bad that I wasn't there.

Maybe by 2021, I'll have a passport that properly identifies me, and conditions on your side of the border will have improved.

Kathy you looked fabulous...the blue really suits you the styling around the middle is lovely and you really look great. My hairdresser echoed your thoughts exactly the other day when we were talking wigs.

Kathy, you look beautiful! Nice job putting together hot outfit. Interesting tip on the wigs. I had no idea they were purposely made with too much hair, but after what you said, it makes perfect sense to manufacture them with extra hair so that they can be trimmed to suit individuals.

Hugs,
Jayne

News flash!!  Changes introduced today, effective in January 2019, mean that I can get my passport in 2019 after all!  There's still that other issue to be dealt with, though: not much the Nova Scotia legislature can do about that.

And thanks to all who commented on my photo.  You all know how to make a girl feel good!

you didn't hear me think a comment? I guess I need to work harder on actually typing them

Well, of course, you too, @Faith!

[JudiBlueEyes]

This is good news in deed!  Soon you'll be traveling all about.

Hi Kathy,

That is good news about a passport and of course you will always be welcome to visit here in Colorado.....I just can't understand why you would ever want to leave such a lovely area as Nova Scotia.

Love you sister,
Tia Anne

Ask again in January! [emoji16]

[KathyLauren]

Ask again in January! [emoji16]

Actually, January is usually not too bad.  Ask again in March, though.  March is the killer month: will winter never end? 

Four years ago, we got through December and January with moderate temperatures and very little snow.  By the last week of January, people were commenting on what a mild winter it had been.  Then, Jan 28th, a blizzard hit.  And another, and another.  We had a new blizzard every three days until the end of March.  The snowplow we contracted to clear our driveway got stuck.  We ran out of places to put the snow.

So, yeah, ask me in March.

Oh no! I missed your birthday?

Happy Belated Birthday, Kathleen!

Thanks, Stephanie.  I don't advertise it much, so I wouldn't expect you to know it.

I celebrated with a new driver's license.  Just for giggles, here are my DL photos from 2013, 2017 and 2018.  The wig in the 2017 photo is the same one as in my current avatar.  The avatar version is after being trimmed and styled: big improvement.


I also celebrated with lunch out with my wife, and a new pair of earrings.  (Pics or it didn't happen: I'll post pics soon. )

And I got a nice present from the government: I'll be able to get my official "F" in January, instead of waiting for the Brits to change my birth certificate.

I like the latest picture best. I have no idea who that is on the left.

Congratulations on the new rules changes! I assume you're not interested in the "X" designator. [emoji16]

Dear Kathy:
Wow, what a dramatic contrast of your appearance as time marches on in your transtion journey.... of course comparing the 2013 photo to how you appear now is breathtaking.... and still a big change as shown in your last 2 license photos...   

.... and  very HAPPY BIRTHDAY wishes to you....   

Thank you for keeping your thread updated and for sharing with all of us.
Hugs and hugs,
Danielle

[JudiBlueEyes]

Wow, Danielle stole the words from my mouth, Dramatic!  You look lovely Kathy.  And much younger than that guy on the left side!  Great news about the license change.  I know you can't wait!

 

[Karen]

Amazing and beautiful!!

So happy and excited for you.   

Happy birthday and hugs!!

Hi Kathy,

  Now let's see... oh yeah you looked really good in that blue dress. You make a very nice nice well dressed mature (not old) lady. Stately would be a good word. Now that I messed that complement up....
  I bet you are excited that you will be able to be in possession of a passport with your correct gender on it finally. Of course you do know that means? You will be obligated to make and eastern seaboard road trip down to see ... oh dang it what's their names.. I know them.  wait, .. wait.. oh yeah, there's Mornie and umm (St(ep)) .. oh heck the short one and her side kick Cassiopia (I think) and that other one way way down there. Oh you know, the one married to Lori,.. Fate! well something like that. I have faith you'll figure it out. There are others on the way you might visit too.
  And then, on the way back you can always stop in and visit that AnmieTea person and the adorable Debi her best half. There are a few others you might run into in the area too while you are passing through. Don't worry, I won't ask you to come hunting me down out here because even I, don't know where I might be.
  You might consider visiting the one in Inuit country Alaskan danger or something like that. After all, Alaska is right next door to Canada isn't it?

Happy Birthday, Katty!

Hugs,
  Laurie
