Patience is a Virtue...

That I don't have.

Tim and I have now been married for exactly 12 days, and I have been anxious to get all of the paperwork and name change business out of the way.

As you may have read in my last post, we have been trying to switch my auto insurance, but we found out that the title has to be in my name. Fine, thats cool. So, I got the title from my mom, but then I realized that if I switch it now, then I will just have to change it again once my name gets changed (and I am sure as heck not paying that fee twice), so we decided to wait to do that until after I am officially a Hanson.

Needless to say, I really want to get my name taken care of so I can take care of all of the other stuff after the Social Security office and the DMV (dealing with HR at work, changing my name at the bank, credit card, student loans, health insurance, doctors office, dentist, etc). So, yesterday I decided to try and hammer down why we had not recieved the marriage certificate yet.

I started getting a little panicky when I called the Orange County courthouse and they had no record of the marriage, so I tried the Osceola County courthouse (Walt Disney World is located in both of those counties) and no record there either. At this point, I was a little beyond just panicky and venturing into the territory of total meltdown. So my wonderful Mother-In-Law contacted the officiant for us and found out that the it takes a few weeks for the courthouse (which is Lake County, FL apparently... oops) to process the certificate. Panic Averted thanks to Mom Hanson!

So, now we wait.

All of this is made infinitely more bearable by coming home to a spotless apartment and my wonderful husband cooking dinner for us (Chicken Fajita a la Tim)!

Anyway, have a safe and happy 4th of July!
