Somewhere Only We Know
I know, I know. Some of you are thinking we went on quite the extended honeymoon. Really we've been back for two weeks and I'm trying to organize my life as a Mrs. and haven't had time to blog anything.
The wedding was wonderful. The day wasn't nearly as busy (for me anyways) as I thought it was going to be. The reception was beautiful and it was amazing to be surrounded by so many people who care about us and our families. Lots of wonderful friends and family helped to make everything perfect for the day and I'm greatly appreciative.
The honeymoon was equally as wonderful. It was soooo much warmer in California than it was here and we stayed in this beautiful resort by the beach. We had a whole condo to ourselves with several bedrooms, a huge bathtub, and our own kitchen. Everything was so nice. Disneyland was great. We got bride and groom mouse ears and everybody kept yelling "Congratulations!" at us. It was really fun. Anyone planning a trip to Disneyland, I highly recommend the fastpasses. It's so much nicer than standing in line. You get this little ticket and it tells you when to come back to jump to the front of the line. You can go stand in line for one ride and when you're done with that one it's usually time to jump to the front of the line for whatever ride you have the fastpass for so you get to ride two rides and only stand in line for one. It's great! California Adventures was alright but there are essentially two rides worth riding there: The rollercoaster, and Tower of Terror. That was THE coolest ride! I didn't know what to expect but it was awesome. If you go to California Adventures, the Tower of Terror is a must.
But now, with the honeymoon over, it's back to real life. And there are a lot of things that have to be taken care of when you get married that I guess I didn't really think about. Like changing my name. What a pain. I spent several hours at the social security office and DMV. THAT was fun. Nothing like spending hours and hours sitting there waiting to talk to someone for 2 minutes. I also changed my name at the bank and added my hubby to my account. But that was no problem. Thank you, AFCU, for being sooooo much easier than everywhere else! I just got my new checks and check cards in the mail too. Speedy, I tell ya! School starts again tomorrow and I need to go talk to them about changing my name at the school and also with financial aid. Should be interesting. Wish me luck.
And there are so many other things that have been going on that I had no idea were a part of newly married life but I've run out of time for today. Perhaps another installment is in order for Wednesday if I have time. Until then, I just wanted everyone to know that yes, I am still alive. I wasn't taken prisoner by the Pirates of the Caribbean or eaten by Pinocchio's whale.
