Checkin' Off!

Lewis and I took a personal day off on Monday to get some wedding stuff done. I use the word "personal day" because it was certainly no vacation! We left the house at 8:30 am and got home about 12 hours later. HOWEVER... we got alot accomplished!

By 9:00 am we were in downtown Nashville at the Office of Vital Records. We had to get original birth certificates to apply for our passports. By 10:30 am we were at the caterer's, going over the reception details. We did get to sample some of those wonderful chocolate and pecan brownies! (yummy!!) After our meeting with the caterer we drove to a party rental place to secure our rental items, such as the candelabras. Then it was off to Wal-Mart to get our passport photos made. Can you believe the picture place in Wal-Mart was closed???? When does anything in Wal-Mart ever close? Oh well.... That was a brief hiccup....so we stopped for a minute to eat lunch.

We drove next door to Walgreen's and got our passport photos made...then back to the house to make copies of our birth certificates. From there....we were off to the post office to actually apply for the passports, which will take about 10 weeks to get back. Then...back in the car to go talk to our State Farm agent to get some insurance stuff taken care of. FINALLY....back home for an hour before we left, once again, to go meet with our preacher.

It was a productive day.....but glad that stuff is done. It's not the big stuff that wears you out. It's the little things. The leg work. I think we're gonna be ready for that nice long honeymoon when this is all over...... I can't wait! :-)
