In just a few short weeks we’ll be boarding a plane for Miami, then 4 days later, a ship for the Caribbean! We’re both SO excited to leave the real world behind for a few days and just have a good time relaxing together. About 2 months ago I discovered I’d made a costly error, regarding my new last name. See, I booked our cruise back in March with my new married name, knowing I would change my passport in time to get it for free (you have 12 months to do so)….. but in all my excitement I failed to realize you have 12 months from your passport issue date….. not 12 months from the time you change your name…… June 2010 had come and gone…. my 12 month mark passed right before my eyes. So, in an effort to save a few bucks I decided to order the new passport card instead of getting the book. It’s only $30, but is only good for traveling to Canada, Mexico and out of the country by ship. As I shuffled through todays mail, I was thrilled to find my little card waiting for me! ……. and believe it or not, I felt good about how I looked the day this mugshot was taken…. hair curled, makeup done…. and yet, it still looks like I’ve gained about 45lbs and have no color in my skin or hair…. not sure if they were trying to make me appear that I’ve been dead for weeks, but they did a good job if that’s the look they were going for! Anyway….. can’t wait to head out on vacation and celebrate our first wedding anniversary!!!!
