On Saturday my new license arrived. I was so excited. It's fancy and new, and my picture is awesome. I was showing if off when my sister said, "did you notice they spelled Massachusetts wrong?"
I most definitely thought she was just joking around. The state of Massachusetts would not spell the state name wrong on their licenses! But oh...they did. I live on Massachusetts Ave...but according to my new license, I live on Massachusettes Ave. Really? Yup. Someone who works for the state, and probably sees the word spelled out a million times a day misspelled my address.
So I went online to seach the Mass RMV website for what to do when the information on your ID is incorrect. It says call the number. I called the number, waited on hold for a while, and spoke to a very pleasant woman who thought it was pretty hilarious (as do I) and told me I had to actually go to the RMV to have the change made and get a new license...all she could do for me was a change of address sticker for the back. I'm sorry, but I just got a BRAND NEW license. I don't want that dumb sticker on the back again.
So this morning I went. But I didn't fix the address. I am flying to New Mexico next Saturday and I could not risk not having another new ID come before then. So once I'm back I'll go to the RMV...again...for the third time in as many weeks. And next time I go their summer hours will be over, so they won't open until 9 and I'll have to be late for work. Awesome.
All because Massachusettes just isn't right.

Wide Open Spaces
Our apartment feels huge. There are no extra people, but more importantly there is no extra stuff. The floor is terribly dirty where it all used to sit, but the stuff itself is gone. We're not really sure what to do with ourselves at this point.
The wedding invitations are done. DONE. Licked, sealed, stamped, and sent. I'm SO glad they're done. I really love that we made them ourselves, but it was a lot of work, and I'm glad to have one less thing to worry about! Now it will be the organization of the response cards I guess...
Hopefully I'll feel more normal this week. I got to catch up on some sleep yesterday and felt rested for my way too early in the morning gym session. The temps in the city have FINALLY cooled off, and the humidity is no longer 90%, so I plan on enjoying a little evening fresh air while I do some laundry. As it turns out, I really enjoy my daily grind.

Where Does the Time Go?
Some how the days go by too quickly and I can't seem to find enough time to do everything I want to each day. Clearly blogging is one of the things I don't get to.
Right now, things are pretty hectic. There are just four months until my wedding, and I'm starting to feel like there isn't enough time. There will be, but it's starting to be crunch time. We had the tent measurements last weekend, and I had a minor (read: major) freak out about how big the tent was and how horrible everything I was planning would look in such a huge space. So we switched up the tents, and I think we have it solved. The 40x80 monstrosity is no longer. And this weekend is all about invitations. The DIY stuff is totally cost effective, but time consuming. Luckily I have awesome bridesmaids who are willing to spend their weekend with a pair of scissors and red construction paper.
Home life is crazy too. We thought about moving this year, but then ruled it out because our lease is up two days after our wedding, and we didn't want to spend out honeymoon packing or moving. Now we're thinking about moving again. We've out grown our starter apartment and are ready for an upgrade. We're hoping that people will be generous enough to get us great stuff for our wedding, and we don't really want to put the new stuff in the old place. I'm not sure it's actually a possibility, but we're thinking about it again.
I'm so happy the weekend is here, and the good weather! There a few chillier days still lingering, but it's definitely not winter any more. And in just one week I'll be in New Mexico again! I cannot wait. There's only so long I can go without the mountain air and my bff.

What a Week
It has been a long week. I am so glad it's Friday and that the weekend is here. I just need a life break. I even had yesterday off from work (a birthday present to myself), but there's a lot that came up this week that I couldn't have expected.
I had a happy week in a lot of ways because I had a great birthday and the weather was really nice (until today), but it's been emotional. My sister is going through a tough patch and it's hard to see her so sad. I have cried a lot for her, and because I can't do a lot to help (not to worry, it's nothing medical or life-threatening, just life stuff). Crying takes a lot out of you, and I'm ready for a rest.
We have a great event tomorrow night for Fenway Community Health, that I'm really looking forward to, so the plan for tonight is to haul up at home on the couch. It's raining again, so a nice movie night with the hubs-to-be is just what I need. Hopefully I can get my beauty sleep tonight!
