Entry from Feb 4, 2006

As the picture up top says*....we got some good news this week! Well it started off as a minor setback...but I didnt let it bother me and Im so glad I didnt. While payin the utilities off ranger discovered a bill that we missed last month, which placed us a bit behind. As a result, we werent going to be able to put the deposit down on the cabin we want to rent in August. I was disappointed to say the least...but I totally understood. Well we went to H&R Block and got his taxes done this week. They found a nice loophole...even though we arent married....we still can use the married deduction because I have been under the same roof as him since 2003. Because of that we are considered common law married under Texas laws. Gotta love that....it meant twice the return than what we expected ;). What does this mean? Well two things have gone good because of this:

01) It gives my babe the documentation he needs to get me on his insurance. We've presented ourselves as married and have been accepted as such, he can use that to prove a common law marriage. This is good because now we dont need to wait for the wedding to put me on the insurance and we can just do a name change after.

02) Instead of doing a deposit down and pay the rest of the cabin rental later...we can actually pay it all in one fell swoop. This makes it one less thing to worry about. Now all I gotta do is decide on do we marry here in Texas and just party in August....or do we wait and do it all there at the cabin?? All I know now is that I gotta find a caterer that can take care of a party like that so I dont have to worry about the mess.

Got lots to do now....once the cabin paid I gotta start on my dress and start getting some supplies to decorate with...and gotta put together the favors too...hmmmm...so much to do but it's all so simple really......just time consuming.
