-- I Won Something So I Picked a Date --

Yep, that's our date.  I really thought any date in 2010 would be ideal for keeping track of wedding anniversaries, but there's a little story behind the date we chose. 

We worked everything completely backwards for this wedding.  And when I say everything I mean EVERYTHING!!!  We booked a reception venue before we had a date and before we even knew really anything else about the wedding.  But the best thing is that I won a contest on Wedding Chicks for a free EcoBag with your favorite design...well, mine included the wedding date.  Oops! 

Somehow we picked July 17th...I actually think Mike picked it.  There was something wrong with all the other dates of the month and we had to think about when Hockey season and practices would start up again and when my sister would be going back down to Memphis for school and the 17th, just seemed right.  So I sent in the order...

And everything else seemed to fall into place.  THANK GOODNESS!!!  And I use my bag all the time for all my wedding planning needs!!!

-- Miss to Mrs? --

How many of you are planning on changing your name?  I promised Mike I am.  But seriously isn't Kellermeyer the longest name EVER!?!?  It's 2 in 1!  I always thought I'd either hyphenate or just keep my last name; there's always been some sort of feminist in me.  But I guess I have 2 brothers to carry on the Hake last name so I shouldn't really be worried about it, right? 

I do keep reading everywhere that it's a colossal pain in the arse to change it!  What's that all about?!  Why does everything revolving around marriage have to be such a pain? 

Yesterday though, to maybe help in this painful process and to look towards the future, I entered into an online comment contest to win a gift card to MissNowMrs.com that covers the complete cost of the online services to changing your name.  Maybe this will make the transition a bit smoother.  Who knows?!  I guess it's worth looking into a bit more.  I mean, Mike did ask me to take his last name on our 3rd date...weird, I know.

PS... I entered the contest here.
