Ok, so now that I have that massive post about the wedding all set, I can update on everything that's happened since the wedding.
Our honeymoon was a blast. We took 400+ pictures and I'm working on posting them (along with all of the wedding pics) on a photo sharing site for everyone to see. I'll keep y'all updated.
We put an offer in on a house, but it got rejected and we refuse to pay any more than we offered, so we're back to looking.
This last weekend we finally had the time to open and put away our wedding presents. At least most of them...our second bedroom is a WRECK, but at least the rest of the house is finally clean. It's just the cat's room anyway!
I was offered and accepted a full time position at work, which makes me happy. I pretty much work full time now (I average 34 or so hours/week) but now I'm guaranteed 40 hours and only a few, if any Saturdays. Also, when I take vacation or sick time I get paid for 8 hours instead of 4. Score!
I have successfully written all of our thank you notes and sent almost all of them out (gotta buy more stamps). Joe helped too - he was the adhesion specialist (he licked the envelopes, put on the stamps, and attached the return address labels). I'm glad to have that done, although I must admit I really don't mind writing thank you notes.
I'm trying to get my family to start coordinating Holiday plans, which is proving to be difficult...ugh...
We were given a KitchenAid Countertop Mixer for the wedding. Thus, it seems like all I've done since the wedding is bake, which means I have a lot more cookies and a lot less room in my jeans....yikes.
I officially changed my name, but my bank just can't seem to wrap their minds around it. They want me to hyphenate SO bad. But I can't, because legally I'm not hyphenated. Plus I don't want to. And then they get mad at me when I call them to tell them my name is wrong on my debit card or statement..."well your name change card has a hyphen on it"...which I can guarantee I didn't put there. So I finally just had to convince them to skip any middle initials and put my first and last name ONLY on the card. And that still took two tries.
I started Christmas Shopping the other day, and I'm a little...wierded out by that. I mean, it's not even Halloween...but it will feel soooo good to have it done early...
I think we are going to go see the Rocky Horror Picture Show tonight. I've never been before, and neither has Joe. Tomorrow we're going to a costume party. I'll post pics of our costumes.
OH! We found our camera, which had been missing since before the wedding. It was tucked in a gift bag in the second bedroom, perhaps from the bridal shower. I'm so glad we found it!

yaaay for the post! I know what you mean about the whole name change thing. I have my maiden name as my middle name, but my bank has hyphenated it! It's correct on my debit/credit card, but on my statements it still reads Rebecca Pilon-Valencia!
I think the major problem is that I kept my other middle name too...so no one knows what to do with Mary Michelle Kirkwood Pilon! The social Security admin put Mary M Kirkwood Pilon because the whole thing wouldn't fit...and my driver's license says Mary M-Kirkwood Pilon because their system won't allow for four names...yeessh...
Exactly.. I am still Rebecca Lynn Pilon Valencia, but it's really difficult for the DMV and other people to understand. It makes me wonder about all of the other people out there that have 4 names and whose names are messed up!
