Promises, promises

I had a pretty busy day yesterday. In the “taking care of business” end of things, I made it to the social security office to file the official “name change” paperwork, and my new card should arrive in 7-10 days.

I also signed the form to change my name at the bank, so they’ll be sending me a new card.

Today, I tackle the DMV. Pray for me. 😉

I also filled out one of the forms to put a wedding announcement in the paper. I decided to skip the Buffalo News, because it was too much of a hassle. (Bridal Portraits, anyone? Yeah, not for me…) I am submitting to two papers in my hometown and the Bee. I think I have to stop in at the Bee, though, because their online form is a little bit too old school…it assumes that if you’re submitting a wedding announcement, you must be 23 years old. For example, it has spaces for high school and college information, but not for graduate school or current employment. And because it’s an online form, there’s no way to add anything. Hm. Anyway.

The living room continues to be a HUGE mess, cluttered up with gifts that need to be put away, and stuff we dumped there when we arrived home from the honeymoon. Sigh. I started the laundry yesterday, but we still have a lot of that to do, too.

OH, and there’s writing thank you notes to do as well. So, my honeymoon pictures will be coming soon…and I intend to start a series of wedding-related posts over at the wedding blog too. I’d like to write down some of my thoughts while they’re still relatively fresh.

Walter is posting reception photos now. It’s so exciting, seeing them pop up! 🙂

Ok, stuff to do. Hope to be back later!

Home

I will be sharing photos, thoughts, and memories galore in the coming days, but this is just a quick note to say that we are home. We are both tired, but very, very happy!

We have opened our cards and gifts, and are overwhelmed by the generosity of our family and friends. We both feel extraordinarily loved.

There is one gift I need to post about in particular, because it came without a card attached…we got a lovely piece from Cone Five Pottery, and we have no idea who it’s from. So if you’re reading? Please let us know! 😉

Rand is back to work tomorrow, and I am going to be taking care of lots of business. Probably at some point I’ll be looking for some temporary work as well–August is going to be awfully tight for me!

That’s it for now. Feel free to comment or email. 😀

Wedded bliss

Just a quick hi to say that we are having a wonderful time… 🙂

Lots ‘n lots of pics are up on flickr. Do check out our wedding photo group. Anyone can view the photos, but if you’d like to join, just send me a note and I’ll add you.

Ta!

Somebody’s getting married ;)

Next time y’all hear from me, I’ll be a Mrs. 😀

27 things finished

Over at the wedding blog!

One more day…can you believe it? 🙂

Overwhelmed

And a teeny bit weepy…

Rand and I were the recipients of a virtual shower, organized by Jen. We got lots of awesome virtual loot, as well as heartfelt wishes, silly cartoons, and lots and lots of love.

Many thanks to Jen, Thomas, Debbie, Eden (aka Sallie), Jam, Deoris, Theryn, Shannon, Jen, Sonya, Luis & Alisa, Jen’s lil’ brother and SIL, Stephanie, BuffaloJenn, Tony & vixy, and khaosworks. I think that’s everyone.

You are all amazing. We love you guys. 🙂

27 things

Hey, have you seen my little “27 things I love about Rand” countdown to our wedding? 🙂

New posts every day at erin-go-weddingblog!

June? Seriously?

Mind you, I’m not complaining. For one, it seems that the weather is finally starting to cooperate, at least somewhat. For another, it means only 11 1/2 days more of *classes* to go (they still have exams after that, but my life will be much easier).

By the way, it turns out that I’m going to be at this job until the official end of the school year. As long as they’re paying me, I can’t complain. 😉

I just don’t know where the time has gone is all. Finally, the fact that it is June 2 means that THERE ARE ONLY 40 DAYS LEFT UNTIL THE WEDDING.

40 DAYS!

I am excited beyond words. I am also mildly panicking about the things still left to do. I’ll post more about the to-do list over at the wedding blog…

I also need to do the TC newsletter, which I always, always without fail, put off until the last moment. Ah, procrastination.

We had a nice weekend, which those of you who follow me on Twitter already know included seeing Iron Man. I loved it! I also watched the Lost finale, which I thought was very good. (One scene in particular had me weeping tears of joy. Those of you who watched it know which one!)

Slowly but surely, we are ridding the new place of boxes and putting things away. It feels really good…

And that is all. One more class to go for me, and I’m outta here. Enjoy the rest of your Monday! 🙂

Wedding music

I’m talking processional and recessional music over at the wedding blog. Go forth and offer your opinion. You know you have one. 😉
