Surprise!!!

It's official! Well, we still have to return the marriage license but it's as good as done. And no, the blog title isn't a mistake. Michael knew how much I love, love, love my name; when we originally went to get our marriage license it took me a good 15 minutes to get up the nerve to mark that I was changing my last name. It was a lot harder than I thought it would be. So a few weeks after we had the license he decided that he would change his last name. We went back to the office, got the license changed and we are now Mr. & Mrs. Michael Hope. How cool is that?! We had a really great time this past week; getting pictures done with Colleen, seeing lots of family and friends, setting up the reception. I will do a super long post soon just so I can get all the details in before I start forgetting the little stuff. For now we are recuperating and taking a few extra days off before going back to work. We are planning on doing a real honeymoon sometime this fall when we both have more vacation time. Michael wants to plant 10 new trees in the next two days....
