In 5 days I will officially become Rebecca Staats.  I am extremely excited about sharing the rest of my life with Keith.  In fact, I am so thrilled, I won't complain about the insane amount of work it is to change ones' name on everything from payroll at work to utility bills.  Oh, and I won't even begin to describe how excited I am to wait in line at the BMV for a new driver's license. 
     In all seriousness, I am thrilled that we decided together to say "I do" without all the stress and money involved in a traditional wedding ceremony.  Instead, we are getting married in our church in front of our family and just a couple of our closest friends.  In fact, I kind of like this arrangement better than our original "fly to Vegas" idea that was thrown out the window when I found out I wouldn't be able to fly over Spring Break. 
     So, the countdown begins...
