So much to do... So little time...

I finally had a two day weekend, since getting back from our honeymoon. It was pretty rough having to work for so many days, after being off for over a week.

I was hoping to take my 4th of July holiday on my birthday, which is July 15th. This did not work out, so I will get to take tomorrow off. What a pleasant surprise! I will get two days off again! This makes me so happy, because I still have a lot to do.

Instead of having to cram it all in on Friday, I can do some things tomorrow. We still have to go to the banks. I need to change my name. I need to decided what to do about merging accounts, etc. We need to get new checks, both with my new name and Jon's new address. It will be good to get these things done.

We got the majority of our "thank you" notes done, so that feels really good. We still have more to write. We are still having things trickle in after the wedding, so it is good to stay on top of things.

Jon's parents want to have a post-wedding picnic for us at their home. I have requested leave from work to go. I have asked to be off from Thursday, July 30th until Monday, August 3rd. Let's hope this gets approved!

It's Official

I am now Vita Fontenot Mitchell!!! I am so excited to officially have my husband's last name. I was a little sad about dropping my middle name, but I think it would be easier to keep things simple.

It was quite easy to do. You fill out an SS-5 form and send it to the Social Security Office. You could mail it in or go in person. I went in person. You bring the necessary documents, and you are good to go! I will get my new SS card in the mail with in two weeks.

They did give me a receipt, which will allow me to change my name with my bank, etc. I haven't made it to the DMV, because they were closed by the time we got there.
