Today Dave and I ventured downtown to get our marriage license. First of all we ended up at the wrong courthouse. I didn't know Gainesville had two, I thought after they built the huge courthouse on Main Street that the other one was turned into something else. Well that is not the case, the new courthouse is for the criminals and the old one is the civil courthouse. FYI!! So we filled out all the paperwork and turned in our premarital counseling certificate, for our discount, and we ended up with a marriage license, or at least all of the paperwork to turn in after the wedding to get the official certificate. On the paperwork you have to note how many times you have been married, so Dave asked the Deputy Clerk what was highest number she had seen, her response "9", I think I would definitely give up before then. Anyways I think it is pretty funny that you have to have a license to get married but not to have kids!! Crazy!! Only a week away and we will be official, yay!!

So let me tell you.... when we went to get out license Madalyn not only crapped her diaper but it leaked all over the place. It was disgusting... so I was trying to change her in the bathroom without a changing table.... it was the most stressful experience EVER! And of course I left it until the last minute and couldnt just leave! :) Im glad youre exprience was a little less stressful than ours... less than a week away!
That IS crazy, isn't it? Man, I'm not sure I would've qualified, though, if I needed a license. ;) (For kids, that is... I got by on the marriage thing by the skin of my teeth, shew.)
