My camera arrived yesterday evening!! I have been waiting for it to get here for over two weeks, and here it is... but it arrived without the memory (and they forgot to send a lens that was supposed to come with it, too) so all I can do with it is take pictures that show up for only a moment afterward, before they dissapear. But oh well, I am still WAY EXCITED! They are sending out the forgotten items, so it shouldn't be too long before I am getting a lot of practice with it!

THANK YOU, TRAVIS SHANE! This is a fantastic (early) birthday present! I couldn't have done better if I picked it out myself (ha, ha; I did)! I LOVE YOU, BABY!

I hope everyone had a FANTASTIC Valentines Day!

I Just Wanted to Make Sure...

After two and a half mostly fantastic years of marriage, I finally made the big plunge... I changed my last name!

Have you ever been to the 'every-other-week Social Security office' here in Logan? It is an absolute MADHOUSE, so I never stuck it out to get my name changed. On Friday Travis and I loaded up the boys and drove to Ogden. It took only about ten minutes and now it is done!

The lady who did it for us commented on how I "rushed right in to get it taken care of" so I must be excited. I joked that I just wanted to make sure everything was going to work out between us before I did something as serious as changing my name (make funnier by the armloads of kids and diaper bag and strollers we were toting with us)!

I really didn't think it would make that big of difference to me, but I have to say it feels REALLY good to have the same last name as my awesome family... officially!
