Marriage License!

I had a really hard time working today because I knew that we had an appointment with the County Recorder's office at 3:30 to apply for our marriage license! Even though we hit really bad traffic, got lost AND ended up being 15 minutes late (which made me really cranky if anyone knows how much I hate being late) we still decided that we'd like to proceed with getting a marriage license ;-) We had to fill out an application and were given a license that is good for 90 days. In that time we need to have it signed by our officiant...which we will next month when we tie the knot. Then we send it away, and can receive copies of it two weeks afterwards. I asked the lady to take our picture right after we signed the application and she thought it was so cute that she had us hold up the Just Married sign. However, don't get too excited, we aren't married yet...

Afterwards we went to Stone House Brewery which we've heard so many of our friends tell us about. It was a very cool restaurant/bar with an amazing outside area with tall trees, walking paths, firepits, bridges and benches and chairs to sit around and drink and chat. We got two entrees and split them. We started with the Macaroni & Cheese (with beer battered something or other) which was very good. It had slices of sausage and the creamy sauce had a spice to it. Then we split the Chicken Tikka Misala, which was delicious! Two chicken skewers over a bed of basmati rice and sauteed vegetables. mmmmm...I was a happy camper :-)
