renew my passport

$97.
i need to ask my mother if she knows where my birth certificate and such is.
i have a certified copy, but i’d like to have the original around anyhow.
i have a german birth certificate, a certificate of naturalization, and ..some other certificate, and i’m sure i’ll need all of those.
and a passport photo.
where do you get a passport photo, by the way?
and then..that’s it!
hot.
$97.
i can do that.

i got my first passport when i was 3 months old. i’m an army brat and was born in germany. my family didn’t do much out-of-the-states travelling after we moved back, though, so it’s sadly expired.

i suppose my first step in this goal is to see if my mother still has my old one around. i have a feeling it may simplify the process a bit.

i just really hope my next passport photo is a little better.
