Hi Guys!
I heard someone say yesterday that Mercury was in retrograde and I completely believe it! I made it safely to California to visit my grandparents, but getting here was quite the battle. Mercury Retrograde may be a wives tale, but it sure would explain a lot. Apparently we are at a peak retrograde season which rules travel delays, communication issues, contracts, which you can imagine is not ideal when you are 1) changing you name (more about this in another post!) 2) traveling.
I spent Monday going back and forth to the SS office... (yes Jonny and I have been married for 2 1/2 years and I am just changing my name). Then the DMV and they were still unable to change my name because I only brought a copy of my marriage license and not the original (so then I had changed my name at the passport office, social security, but not DMV). As you can imagine this made things a little tricky at the airport!
Because my names didn't match (although I have been using my maiden and married name for two years) and I only had my temporary license and non matching passport, I was flagged for double screening. I very much appreciate the lengths TSA is taking to keep us all safe so, no complaints there, but the name change is such. a. pain!!!!! I barely made my flight and had almost as much trouble renting my car.
As you can imagine I couldn't be happier to be relaxing and spending time with my grandparents. I can't wait to share more with you from my trip with them. I wore this dress to dinner with Nana and Papa my first night here. I wanted to be a little more casual so wore sandals and a cardigan over my shoulders, but I am already planning to wear it with pumps (like these) to a wedding this summer! Sizing wise, I am wearing a 0 and hemmed it about two inches (I am 5 '2ish) so am sure to tailor a lot of my dresses to get the exact fit that I want!
Hope you are having a wonderful week! I am off to Scottsdale tomorrow for Molly's bachelorette (crossing my fingers I have a little better luck traveling tomorrow!). If you have any recommendations please send them my way!
