Relief

So Trent and I are going to Cancun at the beginning of June with my family. Because I am now married I have to get a new passport because of my name change (everything girls have to go through to change our names..blah!) This has been on my to-do list since Christmas. I picked up an application several weeks ago and found out I have to mail in my marriage certificate to prove my name change. Well, Trent and I looked for our marriage certificate for about a week and it is nowhere to be seen. It honestly must be in the house somewhere and the last time I remember having it was when I went to the Social Security Office to change my name there. Anyway, I'm a nervous person and wanted to get my passport application sent in as soon as possible. After stopping by several offices in Provo, I found out I could send in our marriage license instead, which I had no idea how to get a hold of. I was able to track down our marriage license in Montgomery County, Maryland (we were married in the D.C. temple which is actually in Maryland). I had to send in a letter of request and a check for $5.50 (not bad, eh?). I sent it off last Monday, the 8th and our marriage license arrived this last Saturday, the 13th. We were so impressed with how quickly my letter of request made it across the country to Maryland and then our marriage license made it back to us in Utah. It was less than a week! So today I officially sent off everything to get a new passport and I think I will have plenty of time to spare. I'm excited to get my new passport because it will make our trip to Cancun much more official..plus my new picture is like 200% better than my one from freshman year of high school :)
