In a nutshell...

To do:
  • Change name on bank accounts, at Duke, on my car title, car/health insurance, etc (but I can't do this until I receive my new license)
  • Give draft #6 to Monty -- will be done by Wednesday because I'm like 85% there
  • Pay Ebill, boo
  • Hang our wedding/engagement pictures somewhere undecided in our apartment
  • Organize office -- it's disturbing
  • Order media cabinet (even though it's painfully expensive, we really need somewhere to keep all of our media stuff... and we should get something nice that we can actually use later in life)
  • Find something to do with my wedding dress (Where do I get it cleaned? Do they put it in a box or something for me?)
  • Read unnatural amounts of immunology to catch up
  • Complete NSF graduate student fellowship application
  • Submit abstract to the Society for Biomaterials conference in April (wahoo, Seattle!)
Completed:
  • Wedding pictures ordered!
  • Awesome mixer rebate mailed out (seriously, the mixer was marked down 20% on sale, we had a 15% off coupon for Kohl's, AND a $40 mail-in-rebate, savings of $180 which is more than 50% of the price of the mixer)
  • Keegan bought me some gorgeous chrysanthemums so our fall-ish decorating is mostly finished
  • Grocery shopping (I saved $27.97 on $52.39 this week!)
  • Cleaned house
  • Saw houses on Parade of Homes that I wanted to get through
  • Finished putting honeymoon pictures in an album
  • Actually went to the fitness room on Saturday and Sunday
It doesn't look like I did much this weekend, but I really did, I promise! I did a lot of work on my paper and those wedding pictures were taking over my life! Now that's all finished and I can focus on things like reading and improving my paper.

Here is my new favorite wedding picture -- I certainly know all of the pictures very well by now :-P

I know you've probably thought of this, but I got my dress cleaned at just the regular dry cleaning place. Both my sister's dress and mine are now in the bag they came in hanging in the closet at my parents house, haha!
