Two Things

Jeff and I received our marriage license yesterday!  

This really makes it feel real to me, seeing our names together and knowing we're almost husband and wife!  It really made my heart happy seeing the license yesterday...just 10 more days!

Speaking of 10 days, starting this morning I began leaving Jeff notes that count down each day until our wedding.

In each note, I tell him the top 10 things I love about him. Today I left #10 in an obvious place - on our bathroom mirror.  I wanted to make sure he saw it first thing.  He was so sweet about receiving it and asked if he'd be receiving more.  Of course I tried to be coy, but I'm sure he knows he'll be getting them as each day goes by.  I do plan on being more creative with where I put them each day, that way he will find them when he least expects it. :)

Basically I just can't wait to marry my best friend and the love of my life.  Can you tell? ;)

Welcome!

Okay...the decision was made!  

Yes, I will continue to blog (and yes, be more active with my posting) AND we created a new blog that will showcase posts from Jeff and I's married life onward. 

The new blog name...can I tell you how much I love it?!  I could write a post about where this name resonates with me, but I'll spare you. ;)  Here is a brief explanation of how it came to be - with Jeff's last name being May, one of his nicknames growing up was "Mayzing" which is derived from "Amazing" (this nickname was also shared by my best friend from high school, Danielle Mays, now Danielle Bochner...little did I know how near and dear her old nickname would be to me in my future life!)  So with that, "a'may'zing grace" was created to incorporate my new last name that I love so much, but also the well known and loved phrase that is our blog title.  My hopes is that this blog can be a long-term place for my/our posts, even as our family grows.  It just fit. <3

So for now I leave you, still as Rani Jones.  When I return, I will be the wife of the most amazing man I know and will start posting as Rani May!

Love,

Rani
