It's Officially Official


Who knew getting married could be so hard? Don't get me wrong, I am LOVING the married part....but the changing names, documents, addresses, not so much. I would forget my head if it wasn't attached so remembering to get everything changed, not to mention bringing all the appropriate documents to do so has not been my strong suit. Case in point: I rushed out of school on Friday to get to the DMV before it closed so that I could change my name and address on my driver's license. My first fail: not bringing cash with me {who accepts cash anymore, anyways?}. I politely left, ran to the ATM, grabbed some cash, and made it back to the DMV only to find out they needed my original marriage certificate...my newly updated Social Security Card was not enough, so back to the DMV I went today. IT WAS A SUCCESS! I had all my documents-the lovely man at the counter kept asking do you have this? do you have that? etc. and to everything I was able to say YES! I almost felt like he was trying to find the one document I left behind. Boo-Yah! So, now it is officially official. My new name is Bethany {Bargo} Smith, keeping my maiden name as my middle name. Now, to change all the things I could only update after I changed my Social Security card and driver's license.
I hope you had a lovely weekend. I sure did. My mom, hubby, and I did some landscaping and outside decorating. It is one of my favorite things to do. Enjoy the picture of the finished project!
Much love-
B.S.
