Michele, That is great news that Tristian is feeling better. I think the worse makes us grow closer togther and stronger. I hope you are resting after your big move. That stinks about your beds head board not fitting. Hmm a reason to go shopping. I hope everything else is going superb for you.

Jax you are always so busy! That's the way to do it though; it makes the time go by faster. Is everything all set for the wedding? How soon after the ceremony will you get your marriage certificate?

I love being busy I think I have every weekend booked with family or friends until I leave for my wedding. Then when I get back I got to set-up my classrooms for the school year. Yes it is making time go so much faster. Today was the first timing seeing my best friend from highschool. We parted ways 9 years ago and ran into each other at Walmart during Christmas it was nice. Then my other girlfriend came over after she left. I think my other girlfriend was put out that she didnt want to go out with her too since we were all friends in High School. I told her I think she just wanted to see me since she was my very best friend in High School. :D I am like so tired now of talking for a straight 8 hours about life :lol: Almost set for the wedding mom is doing the programs and waiting for a few items to arrive for the wedding. Then it will be time to pack. My family members have to carry extra suitcase for all the stuff I am bring this time. Dwain thinks I am nutts and went way overboard on favors. He thinks they are the craziest gifts too. I have a lunch bag (a nice one white with our colors tropic blue and pink there not like trashey or hillbillish at all) that will be filled with musical goodies because that is how we meet through our first love music (like only 6 items in each bag :P ). Whatever it is not silly its different than the norm. Wedding Certificate haven't really thought about maybe I should contact the wedding corrdinator and find out. Thanks Michele forgetting me to think about that part. So many things on my mind. I hope before I leave so I can send the packet when I arrive back here the next day. I will stay a week after the ceremony. So I will pray for that. My dad is totally going way out for this wedding it is so awsome. I guess since I am the only daughter in my family. I am off to bed getting sleepy Best Wishes everyone :)

I didn't bring much outside the list - just tried to hit everything on it if I could. And did multiples of some of the items. I put the stack on her desk when I got there and she never asked to see a thing. I even asked her at the end of she wanted to see some of it and she said no.

She went through one of the papers we had submitted... can't remember which one... and basically verified the questions on it - she was asking Michael if he worked, his address, DOB, SS#, just the stuff on the forms. The only thing she asked not from the forms was about our pregnancy.

It really was VERY easy - nothing to worry about.

I think that little "bundle of joy" is proof enough!! :energetic: Don't worry....you will be just fine. Do you have mail that comes to your address that comes in both your names? Not necessairly "Mr & Mrs" -- but even just "Mr" and just "Mrs"......I have read that "stuff" like that helps.

I had letters from two friends that has been close during our relationship and after marriage. Make sure you make copies of everything so they don't keep your original. I also made copies of credit cards, driver's license, library cards, shopping cards. We took mail addressed to him in the envelopes.

nite everyone

Best wishes to Kim and Duane tomorrow morning hope all goes well!

I think Dwain and I are going to stay on the hip strip when my family isn't around. I am marrying the guy and never had a entire day alone with him. He tries to hide me when I come down but his and my friends find out I am down. So we thought we actual get a nicer place than usually were I stay in his neighborhood. This time and spend a few days together on the hip strip as a honeymoon. Until we can go to Disney World next year. Does anyone have any suggestions if they have stayed on the hip strip before. We need something cheap around 50-80 a night. :help: any helpful ideas would be great. I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. Well I am back to the grind tomorrow and I hope all my students come back to see me and I pray that it is cooler tomorrow so we don't over heat. I am so breaking down tonight and turning on the air. I am off to bed. Best wishes to everyone on the week ahead. :D

i am just a bit worried because there are no bills or rent coming in our names and i dont want it to seem that it is not a legitimate relationship.

That's my issue too - absolutely NO bills in both our names (and I don't think a magazine subscription counts). We're going to bank this week to add him to account and change my last name on it as well. I hope that will suffice (both our names on bank account). Honestly Papcawn I don't think you have a worry cause you two had Jay and that should be more than enough proof :yes: of a bonafide relationship

Hey everyone!

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend

It was hotter than Saudi Arabia so all I did was clean and sweat buckets :lol:
