Officially a Non-Resident of Spain!

I don't think I mentioned this in my blog previously but to remain here in Spain for more than 3 months you have to apply for a Numero Indentidad de Extranjero which is a Non-Resident ID card. The program helped everyone apply for their cards together which was really nice. Then they gave us a date to go to the police station to turn in the rest of our application and get fingerprinted. Our cards were ready to be picked up when we got back from Christmas vacation. I went to the police station and picked up my NIE card woohoo! Although I think I look like a sad and lost duck in my picture hahaha I'm glad I can carry this card around instead of my passport. Here is what it looks like!
