I recieved my AoA while my residence was devided between Grimfells and
Northkeep.  The timing was such that I was in Ansteorra the day the court
where my AoA was officially presented, so some kind gentle accepted for
me.  At the time Their Highnesses lived in our shire.  My AoA was
presented at a shire event, and that was really pretty cool.

As a side note, one of my firends accidently let the cat out of the bag,
so I found out about my AoA in the middle of the cafeteria the first day
of semester.  I bet the folks around wondered why I was so excited...
